Nav1.7 and other voltage-gated sodium channels as drug targets for pain relief [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
INTRODUCTION: Chronic pain is a massive clinical problem. We discuss the potential of subtype selective sodium channel blockers that may provide analgesia with limited side effects.

NaV1.9 Potentiates Oxidized Phospholipid-Induced TRP Responses Only under Inflammatory Conditions

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Oxidized phospholipids (OxPL) like oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (OxPAPC) were recently identified as novel proalgesic targets in acute and chronic inflammatory pain.

Gain-of-function mutation in SCN11A causes itch and affects neurogenic inflammation and muscle function in Scn11a+/L799P mice.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Mutations in the genes encoding for voltage-gated sodium channels cause profound sensory disturbances and other symptoms dependent on the distribution of a particular channel subtype in different organs.

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).

Multiple sodium channel isoforms mediate the pathological effects of Pacific ciguatoxin-1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Human intoxication with the seafood poison ciguatoxin, a dinoflagellate polyether that activates voltage-gated sodium channels (NaV), causes ciguatera, a disease characterised by gastrointestinal and neurological disturbances. We assessed the activity of

Correlation of Nav1.8 and Nav1.9 sodium channel expression with neuropathic pain in human subjects with lingual nerve neuromas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Voltage-gated sodium channels Nav1.8 and Nav1.9 are expressed preferentially in small diameter sensory neurons, and are thought to play a role in the generation of ectopic activity in neuronal cell bodies and/or their axons following ...

E44Q mutation in NaV1.7 in a patient with infantile paroxysmal knee pain: electrophysiological analysis of voltage-dependent sodium current

open access: yesHeliyon, 2021
Gain-of-function mutations in voltage-gated sodium channels (NaV1.7, NaV1.8, and NaV1.9) are known causes of inherited pain disorders. Identification and functional assessment of new NaV1.7 mutations could help elucidate the phenotypic spectrum of NaV1.7

Spider venom-derived peptide induces hyperalgesia in Nav1.7 knockout mice by activating Nav1.9 channels

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Loss of function of Nav1.7 leads to congenital insensitivity to pain in humans. Here the authors found that activation of Nav1.9 can restore nociception in Nav1.7 knockout mice, revealed by a venom-derived peptide as a probe.

Pharmacogenetics of analgesic drugs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
• Individual variability in pain perception and differences in the efficacy of analgesic drugs are complex phenomena and are partly genetically predetermined.
