The role of the endogenous opioid system in modulating orthodontic‐induced neurogenic inflammation of the dental pulp: A comprehensive review of the literature

open access: yesInternational Endodontic Journal, Volume 58, Issue 8, Page 1126-1145, August 2025.
Abstract Background Orthodontic forces may lead to neurogenic inflammation in the dental pulp by triggering the release of somatosensory neuropeptides such as Substance P (SP), Calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) and Neurokinin A (NKA). In the vast majority of patients, acute symptoms are not triggered, probably due to the control of the neurogenic ...

Antihyperalgesic effects of infection with a preproenkephalin-encoding herpes virus [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999
To test the utility of gene therapeutic approaches for the treatment of pain, a recombinant herpes simplex virus, type 1, has been engineered to contain the cDNA for an opioid peptide precursor, human preproenkephalin, under control of the human cytomegalovirus promoter. This virus and a similar recombinant containing the

Detection of the messenger RNA coding for preproenkephalin A in bovine adrenal by in situ hybridization.

open access: yes, 1984
International audienceThe messenger RNA (mRNA) coding for the adrenal precursor of enkephalins (preproenkephalin-A) has been detected in bovine adrenal medulla cells using in situ hybridization with 32P-labelled preproenkephalin A (PPA) complementary DNA.

Nociceptive stimulation induces expression of Arc/Arg3.1 in the spinal cord with a preference for neurons containing enkephalin

open access: yesMolecular Pain, 2010
Background In pain processing, long term synaptic changes play an important role, especially during chronic pain. The immediate early gene Arc/Arg3.1 has been widely implicated in mediating long-term plasticity in telencephalic regions, such as the ...

Rethinking the external globus pallidus and information flow in cortico‐basal ganglia‐thalamic circuits

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 60, Issue 9, Page 6129-6144, November 2024.
The GPe regulates information flow in cortico‐basal ganglia‐thalamic circuits. This nucleus relays ascending and descending signals and serves as a central hub within the CBGT network. Abstract For decades, the external globus pallidus (GPe) has been viewed as a passive way‐station in the indirect pathway of the cortico‐basal ganglia‐thalamic (CBGT ...

Evaluation of Kynu, Defb2, Camp, and Penk Expression Levels as Psoriasis Marker in the Imiquimod‐Induced Psoriasis Model

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Background. Psoriasis is a noncontagious auto‐inflammatory chronic skin disease. So far, some of the inflammatory genes were upregulated in mouse model of psoriasis. This study examined changes in skin mRNA expression of L‐kynureninase (Kynu), cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (Camp), beta‐defensin 2 (Defb2), and proenkephalin (Penk) in a mouse model ...

open access: yes针刺研究, 2010
Objective To observe the effect of acupotomy lysis(AL) on hypothalamic proopiomelanocortin(POMC) mRNA and preproenkephalin(PPE) mRNA expression in rats with the third lumbar vertebrae transverse process syndrome(TLVTPS) so as to study its underlying ...

Preproenkephalin Gene and mRNA : Studies of Structure, Function, Cocaine Responses in an Animal Model, and Genetic Association with Human Opiate Addiction

open access: yes, 2004
The endogenous opioid enkephalin neuropeptides are mediators of pain perception and have been implicated in human addictions. The preproenkephalin gene and its mRNA have also provided many examples of tissue- and species-specific variations in mRNA ...

Physiological properties of enkephalin-containing neurons in the spinal dorsal horn visualized by expression of green fluorescent protein in BAC transgenic mice

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2011
Background Enkephalins are endogenous opiates that are assumed to modulate nociceptive information by mediating synaptic transmission in the central nervous system, including the spinal dorsal horn. Results To develop a new tool for the identification of
