Downregulation of metallothionein-2 contributes to oxaliplatin-induced neuropathic pain

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2021
Background We previously reported a correlation between small doses of oxaliplatin penetrating onto the spinal cord and acute pain after chemotherapy. Here, we propose that MT2 within the spinal dorsal horns participates in the development of oxaliplatin-

Bacterial metallothioneins [PDF]

Postępy Mikrobiologii - Advancements of Microbiology, 2017
Abstract Heavy metals are found in all living organisms where, as indispensable microelements (e.g. zinc, iron, copper), are involved in endless metabolic processes. However, living organisms are also at a risk of exposure to highly toxic metals, including cadmium or lead, which do not play any physiological role.

Metallothionein: An overview [PDF]

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2007
Metallothioneins (MTs) were discovered in 1957 by Margoshes and Vallee and identified as low-molecular weight and sulphydryl rich proteins. It is not surprising that most mammalian tissues contain age related basal levels of MTs since they are involved in metalloregulatory processes that include cell growth and multiplication.
