Ret-Dependent and Ret-Independent Mechanisms of Gfl-Induced Sensitization

Molecular Pain, 2011
Background: The GDNF family ligands (GFLs) are regulators of neurogenic inflammation and pain. We have previously shown that GFLs increase the release of the sensory neuron neuropeptide, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) from isolated mouse DRG. Results: Inhibitors of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway abolished the enhancement of
