Abstract

Animals sense various ranges of temperatures by cutaneous thermal stimuli. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is a cation channel activated at a warm temperature (over 30 degrees C) in exogenously expressed cells. We found in the present study that TRPV4 is essential in thermal hyperalgesia at a warm temperature in vivo. TRPV4-/- and TRPV4+/+ mice exhibited the same latency of escape from 35-50 degrees C hotplates. Neuronal activity in the femoral nerve, however, revealed that the number and activity level of neurons decreased in response to a warm temperature in TRPV4-/- mice. TRPV4-/- mice displayed a significantly longer latency to escape from the plates at 35- 45 degrees C when hyperalgesia was induced by carrageenan without changes in foot volumes. TRPV4 therefore determines the sensitivity rather than the threshold of painful heat detection and plays an essential role in thermal hyperalgesia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
