Purinergic receptors are involved in tooth-pulp evoked nocifensive behavior and brainstem neuronal activityMolecular Pain - Tập 6 - Trang 1-11 - 2010

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

Resveratrol inhibits Cdk5 activity through regulation of p35 expressionMolecular Pain - Tập 7 - Trang 1-14 - 2011
Elias Utreras, Anita Terse, Jason Keller, Michael J Iadarola, Ashok B Kulkarni
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 as a whole.Results:In
these studies we exam... 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
Wahida Rahman, Claudia S Bauer, Kirsty Bannister, Jean-Laurent Vonsy, Annette C Dolphin, Anthony H Dickenson
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
