High concentrations of morphine sensitize and activate mouse dorsal root ganglia via TRPV1 and TRPA1 receptors

Molecular Pain, 2009
Background Morphine and its derivatives are key drugs in pain control. Despite its well-known analgesic properties morphine at high concentrations may be proalgesic.

Gα_s-Coupled CGRP Receptor Signaling Axis from the Trigeminal Ganglion Neuron to Odontoblast Negatively Regulates Dentin Mineralization

Biomolecules, 2022
An inflammatory response following dental pulp injury and/or infection often leads to neurogenic inflammation via the axon reflex. However, the detailed mechanism underlying the occurrence of the axon reflex in the dental pulp remains unclear.

Gene Transfer of Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Inhibits Macrophages and Inflammatory Mediators in Vein Graft Disease [PDF]

, 2008
Vein graft disease is a chronic inflammatory disease and limits the late results of coronary revascularization. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) inhibits macrophages infiltrated and inflammatory mediators, we hypothesized that transfected CGRP gene

Calcitonin, calcitonin gene-related peptide, adrenomedullin and amylin: homologous peptides, separate receptors and overlapping biological actions.

, 1995
Calcitonin, calcitonin gene-related peptide, adrenomedullin and amylin are structurally related peptides with N-terminal 6-7 amino acid ring structures linked by a disulfide bridge and with amidated C-termini.

The Adipose‐Sympathetic Nerve Crosstalk: FSTL1 as an Adipocyte‐Derived Neurotrophic Factor for WAT Browning

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As a novel adipose‐derived neurotrophic factor, Follistatin‐like 1 is endocytosed by sympathetic neurons primarily via tropomyosin‐related kinase B. This process promotes sympathetic innervation in adipose tissue and norepinephrine release, leading to white adipose tissue browning, enhanced thermogenesis, and anti‐obesity effects in mice.

Role of Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide in Inhibitory Neurotransmission to the Pig Bladder Neck

, 2011
Purpose: We studied the role of calcitonin gene-related peptide in nonadrenergic, noncholinergic neurotransmission to the pig bladder neck. Materials and Methods: We used immunohistochemical techniques to determine the distribution of calcitonin gene ...

EphB1 Receptor Blockade Augments Morphine Antinociception via Inhibiting GRK2‐Mediated µ‐Opioid Receptor Internalization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Administration of opioids activates ephrinB2‐EphB1 receptor signaling. Activated EphB1 receptors induce GRK2‐mediated phosphorylation of MOR at Ser375, which initiates the internalization of MOR and reduces opioid antinociception at the behavioral level. ABSTRACT Opioids are the primary treatment for severe pain in clinical practice.

Migraine pathogenesis and state of pharmacological treatment options

BMC Medicine, 2009
Migraine is a largely inherited disorder of the brain characterized by a complex, but stereotypical, dysfunction of sensory processing. Often the most obvious clinical symptom is head pain, but non-headache symptoms such as photophobia, phonophobia and ...

Mechanical Distraction Engages a Neuro‐Immune Program to Drive Regenerative Soft‐Tissue Healing in Ilizarov Bone Transport

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ilizarov bone transport accelerates healing of soft‐tissue wounds through unclear mechanisms. In a rat model, sustained mechanical distraction elicits calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP)‐dominant sensory reinnervation, creating a niche that shifts immune cells from inflammatory to repair‐promoting states and speeds re‐epithelialization.

The Role of Cgrp-Receptor Component Protein (Rcp) in Cgrp-Mediated Signal Transduction

The Scientific World Journal, 2001
The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-receptor component protein (RCP) is a 17-kDa intracellular peripheral membrane protein required for signal transduction at CGRP receptors.
