Identification of interleukin-1 beta as a key mediator in the upregulation of Cav3.2–USP5 interactions in the pain pathway
Abstract We recently reported that nerve injury or peripheral inflammation triggers an upregulation of the deubiquitinase, USP5 in mouse dorsal root ganglion and spinal dorsal horn. This leads to dysregulated ubiquitination of Cav3.2 T-type calcium channels, thus increasing Cav3.2 channel plasma membrane expression and nociceptive signaling in the primary afferent pain pathway. This phenomenon ...
متن کاملAmiloride-blockable acid-sensing ion channels are leading acid sensors expressed in human nociceptors.
Many painful inflammatory and ischemic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, cardiac ischemia, and exhausted skeletal muscles are accompanied by local tissue acidosis. In such acidotic states, extracellular protons provoke the pain by opening cation channels in nociceptors. It is generally believed that a vanilloid receptor subtype-1 (VR1) and an acid-sensing ion channel (ASIC) mediate the g...
متن کاملGenetic evidence for an essential role of neuronally expressed IL-6 signal transducer gp130 in the induction and maintenance of experimentally induced mechanical hypersensitivity in vivo and in vitro
Tenderness and mechanical allodynia are key symptoms of malignant tumor, inflammation and neuropathy. The proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) is causally involved in all three pathologies. IL-6 not only regulates innate immunity and inflammation but also causes nociceptor sensitization and hyperalgesia. In general and in most cell types including immune cells and sensory neurons, IL-6...
متن کاملNociceptors: the sensors of the pain pathway.
Specialized peripheral sensory neurons known as nociceptors alert us to potentially damaging stimuli at the skin by detecting extremes in temperature and pressure and injury-related chemicals, and transducing these stimuli into long-ranging electrical signals that are relayed to higher brain centers. The activation of functionally distinct cutaneous nociceptor populations and the processing of ...
متن کاملFast modulation of heat-activated ionic current by proinflammatory interleukin 6 in rat sensory neurons.
The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) together with its soluble receptor (sIL-6R) induces and maintains thermal hyperalgesia. It facilitates the heat-induced release of calcitonin gene-related peptide from rat cutaneous nociceptors in vivo and in vitro. Here we report that exposure of nociceptive neurons to the IL-6-sIL-6R complex or the gp130-stimulating designer IL-6-sIL-6R fusio...
