Post-translational modifications of voltage-gated sodium channels in chronic pain syndromes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In the peripheral sensory nervous system the neuronal expression of voltage-gated sodium channels (Navs) is very important for the transmission of nociceptive information since they give rise to the upstroke of the action potential (AP).

The voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7 associated with endometrial cancer [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cancer, 2019
Background: Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy in women in the developed countries. Despite recent progress in functional characterization of voltage-gated sodium channel (Nav) in multiple cancers, very little was known about the expression of Nav in human endometrial cancer.

Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel NaV1.7 Inhibitors with Potent Anticancer Activities in Medullary Thyroid Cancer Cells

open access: yesCancers, 2023
Our results from quantitative RT-PCR, Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and the tissue microarray of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) cell lines and patient specimens confirm that VGSC subtype NaV1.7 is uniquely expressed in aggressive MTC and not expressed in normal thyroid cells and tissues.

Pharmacological characterization of potent and selective NaV1.7 inhibitors engineered from Chilobrachys jingzhao tarantula venom peptide JzTx-V. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Identification of voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.7 inhibitors for chronic pain therapeutic development is an area of vigorous pursuit. In an effort to identify more potent leads compared to our previously reported GpTx-1 peptide series ...

Voltage-gated sodium channels: new targets in cancer therapy? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Early detection and treatment of cancers have increased survival and improved clinical outcome. The development of metastases is often associated with a poor prognostic of survival. Finding early markers of metastasis and developing new therapies against

Diffusion Tensor Imaging Reveals Altered Centrality of Pain-Related Regions in SCN9A-Associated Small Fiber Neuropathy. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Neuroimaging
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) is a neuropathic disorder that is associated with chronic pain. While most SFN cases are idiopathic, SFN can also have hereditary causes. For example, rare SCN9A gene mutations can impair the NaV1.7 sodium channel, which leads to dorsal root ganglion neuron hyperexcitability, causing SFN ...

Structure of the saxiphilin:saxitoxin (STX) complex reveals a convergent molecular recognition strategy for paralytic toxins. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Dinoflagelates and cyanobacteria produce saxitoxin (STX), a lethal bis-guanidinium neurotoxin causing paralytic shellfish poisoning. A number of metazoans have soluble STX-binding proteins that may prevent STX intoxication.

Autosomal Dominant Erythermalgia Associated With a Novel Mutation in the Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel α Subunit Nav1.7 [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Neurology, 2005
Autosomal dominant primary erythermalgia is a rare disorder characterized by recurrent attacks of red, warm, and painful hands and/or feet.To describe the phenotypes and molecular data of a 10-member family with 5 symptomatic living patients with erythermalgia.The clinical phenotype of this family was featured by episodic or continuous symmetrical red ...

Voltage-gated sodium channels potentiate the invasive capacities of human non-small-cell lung cancer cell lines. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Ionic channel activity is involved in fundamental cellular behaviour and participates in cancerous features such as proliferation, migration and invasion which in turn contribute to the metastatic process.

Neanderthal introgression in SCN9A impacts mechanical pain sensitivity

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2023
The Nav1.7 voltage-gated sodium channel plays a key role in nociception. Three functional variants in the SCN9A gene (encoding M932L, V991L, and D1908G in Nav1.7), have recently been identified as stemming from Neanderthal introgression and to associate ...
