Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

P2X₃ Knock-Out Mice Reveal a Major Sensory Role for Urothelially Released ATP [PDF]

, 2001
The present study explores the possible involvement of a purinergic mechanism in mechanosensory transduction in the bladder using P2X₃ receptor knock-out (P2X₃ ⁻⁄⁻) and wild-type control (P2X₃ ⁺⁄⁺) mice.

The relationship between the cannabinoids and cardiac remodelling: A comprehensive review of pivotal mechanisms and emerging evidence

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cardiac remodelling and fibrosis after myocardial infarction or during chronic diseases, such as arterial and pulmonary hypertension or diabetes mellitus, continue to be the more important prognostic factors in determining survival, and so the search for effective anti‐fibrotic interventions is an important target for research and therapy in cardiology.

Dynamics of the CD9 interactome during bacterial infection of epithelial cells by proximity labelling proteomics

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We describe the CD9 interactome in epithelial cells for the first time. The interactome is diverse and dynamic and changes dependent on infection with specific bacteria. We validate these data by showing functional interaction between CD9 with CD44 or CD147. We therefore demonstrate that CD9 is a universal organiser of bacterial adhesion platforms able

Neuropeptides as regulators of bone metabolism: from molecular mechanisms to traditional Chinese medicine intervention strategies

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Osteoporosis (OP) is a complex bone metabolism disorder disease that affects the skeleton, nervous system, muscles, and multiple tissues. Neuropeptides, which are endogenous substances derived from both bone and brain, play a critical role in maintaining

Activation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 5 is essential for cystitis- and nerve growth factor-induced calcitonin gene-related peptide expression in sensory neurons [PDF]

, 2012
Background Cystitis causes considerable neuronal plasticity in the primary afferent pathways. The molecular mechanism and signal transduction underlying cross talk between the inflamed urinary bladder and sensory sensitization has not been investigated ...

Reduction of opioid and barbiturate use following initiation of rimegepant for migraine in the United States

Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The primary objective of this study was to evaluate opioid and barbiturate utilization before and after the first prescription of the calcitonin gene–related peptide receptor antagonist rimegepant in individuals with migraine. Background Although not recommended in migraine treatment guidelines, opioids and barbiturates are often ...

The Identification of Opioid Receptors and Peptide Precursors in Human DRG Neurons Expressing Pain-Signaling Molecules Confirms Their Potential as Analgesic Targets

Cells
The presence and function of the opioidergic system in sensory dorsal root ganglia (DRG) was demonstrated in various animal models of pain. To endorse recent functional and transcriptional evidence of opioid receptors in human DRG, this study compared ...

Changes in brainstem habituation during onabotulinumtoxinA treatment in chronic migraine: A prospective case–control study

Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives/Background Chronic migraine is a debilitating neurological disorder characterized by central sensitization and impaired brainstem habituation. OnabotulinumtoxinA is an established prophylactic treatment for chronic migraine, yet its effects on central trigeminal sensory processing remain incompletely understood.

Recent advances in vasoactive intestinal peptide physiology and pathophysiology: focus on the gastrointestinal system. [PDF]

, 2019
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a gut peptide hormone originally reported as a vasodilator in 1970, has multiple physiological and pathological effects on development, growth, and the control of neuronal, epithelial, and endocrine cell functions ...
