Dysregulation of Kv3.4 channels in dorsal root ganglia following spinal cord injury.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) patients develop chronic pain involving poorly understood central and peripheral mechanisms. Because dysregulation of the voltage-gated Kv3.4 channel has been implicated in the hyperexcitable state of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons following direct injury of sensory nerves, we asked whether such a dysregulation also plays a role in SCI. Kv3.4 channels are expressed ...
متن کاملImmunoreactive dynorphin in mammalian spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia.
The distribution of immunoreactive dynorphin (ir-dynorphin) has been determined in dorsal and ventral aspects of spinal cord and in dorsal root ganglia of rabbit and rat. Concentrations are highest in dorsal root, with intermediate levels in ventral cord and low levels in dorsal root ganglia of both species. Levels of ir-dynorphin are relatively uniform over examined segments (vertebrae C2-S3) ...
متن کاملChanges in galanin immunoreactivity in rat lumbosacral spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia after spinal cord injury.
Alterations in the expression of the neuropeptide galanin were examined in micturition reflex pathways 6 weeks after complete spinal cord transection (T8). In control animals, galanin expression was present in specific regions of the gray matter in the rostral lumbar and caudal lumbosacral spinal cord, including: (1) the dorsal commissure; (2) the superficial dorsal horn; (3) the regions of the...
متن کاملChromatin immunoprecipitation from dorsal root ganglia tissue following axonal injury.
Axons in the central nervous system (CNS) do not regenerate while those in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) do regenerate to a limited extent after injury (Teng et al., 2006). It is recognized that transcriptional programs essential for neurite and axonal outgrowth are reactivated upon injury in the PNS (Makwana et al., 2005). However the tools available to analyze neuronal gene regulation i...
متن کاملMicroRNA Dysregulation in the Spinal Cord following Traumatic Injury
Spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers a multitude of pathophysiological events that are tightly regulated by the expression levels of specific genes. Recent studies suggest that changes in gene expression following neural injury can result from the dysregulation of microRNAs, short non-coding RNA molecules that repress the translation of target mRNA. To understand the mechanisms underlying gene alt...
