1. Whether bradykinin (BK), which is known as an endogenous pain-producing substance, induces augmentation of the discharges of polymodal receptors evoked by heat stimulation was investigated in in vitro canine testis-superior spermatic nerve preparations. 2. The heat response was significantly augmented by pretreatments with BK at concentrations greater than 0.094 nM, whereas BK induced significant increases in the mean discharge rates at concentrations above 9.4 nM. Both effects increased in a concentration-dependent manner. The augmenting effect of BK on the heat response diminished within 10 min after application of BK, regardless of concentration. 3. When 9.4 nM BK was applied in a mixture with 940 nM NPC349, a B2 receptor antagonist, the averaged mean discharge rate evoked by BK and the averaged augmenting effect were both significantly suppressed compared with those induced by BK given alone. 4. The augmenting effect of BK on the heat response of polymodal receptors could be observed even in the absence of BK-evoked discharges per se in several cases in which low concentrations of BK or BK plus B2 antagonists were given. 5. These findings suggest that the augmenting effects of BK on the heat response depend on B2 receptor-mediated intracellular processes acting in parallel to, but not directly on, the impulse-generation mechanism of the heat response of the polymodal receptor.
