Therapeutic opportunities for targeting cold pain pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Cold pain is a frequent symptom in neuropathic pain. Compared to other pain modalities, such as heat pain, the mechanisms behind physiological and pathological cold pain remain elusive.

Unraveling the Morphological and Functional Maturation Mechanisms Underlying Human Neural Development Using iPSCs‐Derived Neuronal Model

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)‐derived neuronal model, Tian and colleagues reveal that voltage‐gated calcium channels Cav1.2 and Cav1.3, and their mediated calcium ion influx, are essential for early morphogenesis of human neuronal development, while ECEL1 underlies human neuronal functional developmental maturation through CALM3 ...

Voltage‐gated sodium channel 1.7 expression decreases in dorsal root ganglia in a spinal nerve ligation neuropathic pain model

open access: yesKaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2019
The role of the voltage‐gated sodium channel 1.7 (Nav1.7) is unclear in models of neuropathic pain induced by nerve injury. In the present study, we measured expression levels of Nav1.7 in two distinct neuropathic pain models: spinal nerve ligation (SNL)

Sodium channel slow inactivation interferes with open channel block [PDF]

open access: yes
Mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7 are linked to inherited pain syndromes such as erythromelalgia (IEM) and paroxysmal extreme pain disorder (PEPD). PEPD mutations impair Nav1.7 fast inactivation and increase persistent currents.

Using automated patch clamp electrophysiology platforms in pain-related ion channel research: insights from industry and academia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Automated patch clamp (APC) technology was first developed at the turn of the millennium. The increased throughput it afforded promised a new paradigm in ion channel recordings: it offered the potential to overcome the time-consuming, low-throughput ...

Epigenetic mechanisms and therapeutic innovations in chronic pain‐associated neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic pain, marked by nociceptive sensitization and maladaptive neuroplasticity, affects 30% of the global population with escalating socioeconomic burdens. Epidemiological data show a 2‐3‐fold increase in neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities among individuals with chronic pain, where epigenetic dysregulation serves as a key mechanism linking ...

Analgesia linked to Nav1.7 loss of function requires µ- and δ-opioid receptors [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

open access: yesWellcome Open Research, 2018
Background: Functional deletion of the Scn9a (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 9) gene encoding sodium channel Nav1.7 makes humans and mice pain-free. Opioid signalling contributes to this analgesic state.

Deletion of annexin 2 light chain p11 in nociceptors causes deficits in somatosensory coding and pain behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The S100 family protein p11 (S100A10, annexin 2 light chain) is involved in the trafficking of the voltage-gated sodium channel Na(V)1.8, TWIK-related acid-sensitive K+ channel (TASK-1), the ligand-gated ion channels acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a ...

Ion channel recordings on an injection-molded polymer chip [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this paper, we demonstrate recordings of the ion channel activity across the cell membrane in a biological cell by employing the so-called patch clamping technique on an injection-molded polymer microfluidic device.

Actions of tefluthrin on rat Nav1.7 voltage-gated sodium channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes [PDF]

open access: yesPesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 2011
In rats expression of the Na(v)1.7 voltage-gated sodium channel isoform is restricted to the peripheral nervous system and is abundant in the sensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglion. We expressed the rat Na(v)1.7 sodium channel α subunit together with the rat auxiliary β1 and β2 subunits in Xenopus laevis oocytes and assessed the effects of the ...
