Paroxetine Attenuates the Development and Existing Pain in a Rat Model of Neurophatic Pain
Background: P2X4 receptor (P2X4R), a purinoceptor expressed in activated spinal microglia, plays a key role in the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain. Spinal nerve injury induces up-regulation of P2X4R on activated microglia in the spinal cord, and blockade of this receptor can reduce neuropathic pain. The present study was undertaken to determine whether paroxetine, an inhibitor of P2X4R, could ...
متن کاملSpinal microglia: A potential target in the treatment of chronic visceral pain.
Chronic visceral pain is the predominant symptom of functional gastrointestinal disorders and chronic pancreatitis. Such pain can impair the patients' quality of life, and can also serve as one of the principal reasons for these patients to seek medical help. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms of chronic visceral pain have remained unclear, and much of what we know about visceral pain has ...
متن کاملThe effect of nimesulide on CoxII expression in central and peripheral immune cells (microglia and macrophage) in a rat model of neuropathic pain
Introduction: Neuropathic pain may be due to a primary insult to the peripheral or central nervous system. In this situation, Hyperalgesia and Allodynia are the results of prostaglandins and cytokines release in the spinal cord. It seems that immune cells play an importat role in the induction and maintenance of chronic pain. Compared to selective CoxII inhibitors, nimesulide, a highly select...
متن کاملP2X7 Receptor Mediates Spinal Microglia Activation of Visceral Hyperalgesia in a Rat Model of Chronic Pancreatitis
BACKGROUND & AIMS Molecular mechanisms underlying the activated spinal microglia in association with the pain in chronic pancreatitis (CP) remain unknown. We tested whether P2X7R on spinal microglia mediates the pathogenesis of visceral pain using a CP rat model. METHODS The CP model was induced via intraductal injection of 2% trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid into male Sprague-Dawley rats. Hyper...
متن کاملThe Role of C Fibers in Spinal Microglia Induction and Possible Relation with TRPV3 Expression During Chronic Inflammatory Arthritis in Rats
Introduction: Stimulation of peptidergic fibers activates microglia in the dorsal horn. Microglia activation causes fractalkine (FKN) release, a neuron-glia signal, which enhances pain. The transient vanilloid receptor 1 (TRPV1) mediates the release of neuropeptides, which can subsequently activate glia. TRPV1 and TRPV2 are generally expressed on C and Aδ fibers, respe...
