متن کاملCalcium channel α2δ subunits in epilepsy and as targets for antiepileptic drugs
The α2δ proteins are accessory subunits of voltage-gated calcium channel subunits. As such, they enhance calcium channel trafficking and insertion in the plasma membrane, but also influence the biophysical properties of the channels. However, α2δ-1 and α2δ-3 have now been shown to be involved in synaptogenesis, apparently independently of their effect on calcium channel function. In neurons, α2...
متن کاملNeurobiology of Disease Spinal Dorsal Horn Calcium Channel 2 -1 Subunit Upregulation Contributes to Peripheral Nerve Injury- Induced Tactile Allodynia
Peripheral nerve injury induces upregulation of the calcium channel 2 -1 structural subunit in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and dorsal spinal cord of spinal nerve-ligated rats with neuropathic pain, suggesting a role of the calcium channel 2 -1 subunit in central sensitization. To investigate whether spinal dorsal horn 2 -1 subunit upregulation derives from increased DRG 2 -1 subunit and plays a c...
متن کاملPresynaptic inhibitory actions of pregabalin on excitatory transmission in superficial dorsal horn of mouse spinal cord: Further characterization of presynaptic mechanisms
Pregabalin is widely used as an analgesic for the treatment of neuropathic pain. In the present experiments using mouse spinal slices, we recorded electrically evoked glutamatergic excitatory postsynaptic currents (eEPSCs) from superficial dorsal horn neurons. Pregabalin reduced the amplitude of eEPSCs, and increased the paired pulse ratio. Pregabalin also inhibited the frequency of spontaneous...
متن کاملImplications and mechanism of action of gabapentin in neuropathic pain.
Gabapentin is an anti-epileptic agent but now it is also recommended as first line agent in neuropathic pain, particularly in diabetic neuropathy and post herpetic neuralgia. α2δ-1, an auxillary subunit of voltage gated calcium channels, has been documented as its main target and its specific binding to this subunit is described to produce different actions responsible for pain attenuation. The...
