To evaluate whether P2X receptors are involved in responses to noxious pulp stimulation, the P2X3 and P2X2/3 receptor agonist α,β-methyleneATP (α,β-meATP) was applied to the molar tooth pulp and nocifensive behavior and extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation in trigeminal spinal subnucleus caudalis (Vc), trigeminal spinal subnucleus interpolaris (Vi), upper cervical spinal cor...... hiện toàn bộ
Resveratrol inhibits Cdk5 activity through regulation of p35 expressionMolecular Pain - Tập 7 - Trang 1-14 - 2011

We have previously reported that cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) participates in the regulation of nociceptive signaling. Through activation of the ERK1/2 pathway, Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) induces expression of Egr-1. This results in the sustained and robust expression of p35, a coactivator of Cdk5, in PC12 cells, thereby increasing Cdk5 kinase activity. The aim of our present study was to...... hiện toàn bộ

Sources of individual variability: miRNAs that predispose to neuropathic pain identified using genome-wide sequencingMolecular Pain - Tập 10 - Trang 1-15 - 2014
Kiran Kumar Bali, Michael Hackenberg, Avigail Lubin, Rohini Kuner, Marshall Devor
We carried out a genome-wide study, using microRNA sequencing (miRNA-seq), aimed at identifying miRNAs in primary sensory neurons that are associated with neuropathic pain. Such scans usually yield long lists of transcripts regulated by nerve injury, but not necessarily related to pain. To overcome this we tried a novel search strategy: identification of transcripts regulated differentially by ner...... hiện toàn bộ
Formalin Injection Causes a Coordinated Spinal Cord CO/NO-cGMP Signaling System ResponseMolecular Pain - Tập 1 - Trang 1744-8069-1-33 - 2005
Xiaoshuang Shi, Xiangqi Li, J. David Clark
Background:The CO/NO-cGMP signalling system participates in the regulation of many physiological processes. The roles this system plays in spinal cord nociceptive signalling are particularly important. While individual components have been examined in isolation, little study has been dedicated to understanding the regulation and functioning of the system ...... hiện toàn bộ
Descending serotonergic facilitation and the antinociceptive effects of pregabalin in a rat model of osteoarthritic painMolecular Pain - Tập 5 - Trang 1-17 - 2009

Descending facilitation, from the brainstem, promotes spinal neuronal hyperexcitability and behavioural hypersensitivity in many chronic pain states. We have previously demonstrated enhanced descending facilitation onto dorsal horn neurones in a neuropathic pain model, and shown this to enable the analgesic effectiveness of gabapentin. Here we have tested if this hypothesis applies to other pain s...... hiện toàn bộ
