NGF Up-regulates TRPA1: Implications for Orofacial Pain

Diogenes, A., Akopian, A.N., Hargreaves, K.M.·2007·Journal of Dental Research

Abstract

The transient receptor potential ankyrin repeat 1 (TRPA1) channel is believed to be involved in many forms of acute and chronic hyperalgesia. Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) regulates chronic inflammatory hyperalgesia by controlling gene expression in sensory neurons, including genes involved in inflammatory hyperalgesia in the dental pulp. We hypothesized that NGF increases functional activities of the TRPA1 channel in trigeminal ganglion neurons. Here, we show that NGF induced a concentration- and time-dependent up-regulation of TRPA1 mRNA in trigeminal ganglia neurons, as detected by real-time RT-PCR and in situ hybridization. In addition, NGF evoked a time-dependent increase of mustard oil (MO)-evoked TRPA1 activation in trigeminal ganglia neurons. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that NGF participates in the functional up-regulation of TRPA1 in trigeminal ganglia neurons. These enhanced activities of TRPA1 could play an important role in the development of hyperalgesia following nerve injury and inflammation in the orofacial region.

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.
