Nerve Injury-Induced Plasticity in the Nociceptive Pathways
Context: Neuropathic pain is a common and disabling complication. To develop a better treatment of the neuropathic pain, a comprehensive understanding is essential. In this paper, we review pathophysiological principles of neuropathic pain, focusing on synaptic plasticity and long-term potentiation (LTP) in the nociceptive circuits. Finally, the role of glial cells on the synaptic plasticity in...
متن کاملWen-Luo-Tong Prevents Glial Activation and Nociceptive Sensitization in a Rat Model of Oxaliplatin-Induced Neuropathic Pain
One of the main dose-limiting complications of the chemotherapeutic agent oxaliplatin (OXL) is painful neuropathy. Glial activation and nociceptive sensitization may be responsible for the mechanism of neuropathic pain. The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Wen-luo-tong (WLT) has been widely used in China to treat chemotherapy induced neuropathic pain. However, there is no study on the effects...
متن کاملNeuronal-Glial Interactions Maintain Chronic Neuropathic Pain after Spinal Cord Injury
The hyperactive state of sensory neurons in the spinal cord enhances pain transmission. Spinal glial cells have also been implicated in enhanced excitability of spinal dorsal horn neurons, resulting in pain amplification and distortions. Traumatic injuries of the neural system such as spinal cord injury (SCI) induce neuronal hyperactivity and glial activation, causing maladaptive synaptic plast...
متن کاملInhibition of GAP-43 by propentofylline in a rat model of neuropathic pain.
Neural plasticity within the spinal nociceptive network may be fundamental to the chronic nature of neuropathic pain. The relation of growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43), a protein involved in the nerve fiber growth and sprouting, to pain hypersensitivity has been investigated. Glial activation and inflammatory cytokines released by microglia and astrocytes are considered to be involved in th...
متن کامل[Roles of transient receptor potential melastatin 2 expressed on immune cells in neuropathic pain].
Neuropathic pain is a pathological pain condition that often results from peripheral nerve injury. Several lines of evidence suggest that neuroinflammation mediated by the interaction between immune cells and neurons plays an important role in the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain. Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) is a nonselective Ca(2+)-permeable cation channel that acts as a ...
