Phenylephrine at high concentrations causes calcium transients in trigeminal afferents, CGRP release and increased meningeal blood flow upon activation of TRPV1 receptor channels, which is likely underlying the reported pain phenomena.
Ginger extracts and its compound, 6-shogaol, reduced pain symptoms in PDN via its effect on decreasing TRPV1 and NMDAR2B expressions in the spinal cord, with very limited effect on pancreatic islets.
We conclude that both native and recombinant PnTx3-5 are potent TRPV1 receptor antagonists with antinociceptive action on pain behavior evoked by capsaicin.
In this paper, the aim was to address a TRPV1 antagonist's ability to inhibit a more complex pain signal and to define translational endpoints that could be used in further drug development, when progressing orally bioavailable TRPV1 antagonists as novel analgesic medications.
Comparison of pain conditions with frequent alleles showed the rs222747 "CC" genotype of TRPV1 associated with women with TMJ, recurrent vaginitis, and LPV.
Recently, we showed that transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) interacts with anoctamin 1 (ANO1, also called TMEM16A) in primary sensory neurons and that this interaction enhanced TRPV1-mediated pain sensation.
However, pre-exposure to 3d consecutive restraint stress not only prolonged sensitization pain, but also increased stress hormone corticosterone (CORT) in serum, COX2 levels in paw skin, and EP4 and TRPV1 levels in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and paw skin.
We have assessed the contribution of transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 1 (TRPV1) and the TRPV1-expressing subset of nociceptive afferents to pain behaviors induced by orthodontic force in mice.
Our study suggests that TRPV1 serves as a primary nociceptor in caterpillar-induced pain and forms the foundation for elucidating the pain-producing mechanism.
Data in our study provided evidence that pain upon injection of clinical aqueous etomidate formulations is not an unspecific effect of hyperosmolarity but rather due to a specific action mediated by activated nociceptive TRPA1 and TRPV1 ion channels in sensory neurons.
Primary sensory neuron cultures also were treated with the latex extract or vehicle for 15 min followed by stimulation with the TRPV1 agonist capsaicin.Results showed that <i>E. bicolor</i> latex extract evoked significant pain behaviors in both male and female rats at 20 min post-injection and lasting around 1-2 h. At 6 h post-injection, analgesia was observed in male rats that lasted up to 4 weeks, whereas in females the onset of analgesia was delayed to 72 h post-injection.
This indicates that vanilloid activators turn on the TRPV1 ion channel to transmit only pain and other nociceptive signals, while capsaicin and its competitive ligands are capable of activating intracellular G protein/PI3K/PIP2 signaling pathways by binding to endogenous cannabinoid receptors, and then increase intracellular PIP2 levels (the increasing PIP2 can competitively replace capsaicin and other vanilloid activators), thereby closing the TRPV1 channel and exerting the analgesic effect.
Modulators that either activate or inhibit TRPV1-mediated currents display analgesic properties in various pain models despite opposing effects on their connate target, TRPV1.
In summary, this study demonstrated the following: (1) membrane cholesterol depletion preserves PAP-mediated antinociception through PI(4,5)P2 hydrolysis and (2) pain hypersensitivity that develops after TRPV1(+) neuron depletion-mediated neurodegeneration following RTX neuropathy is attributable to the downregulation of PAP analgesic signaling.
In addition to describing a mechanism of TRPV1 constitutive internalization and its inhibition by CDK5, these findings demonstrate that CDK5 promotes inflammatory thermal hyperalgesia by reducing TRPV1 internalization, providing previously unidentified insights into the search for drug targets to treat pain.
