Journal ArticleDOI

Intrathecal injection of carbenoxolone, a gap junction decoupler, attenuates the induction of below-level neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury in rats.

Dae Hyun Roh, +6 more
- 01 Jul 2010 - 
TL;DR: Gap junctions play a critical role in the activation of astrocytes distant from the site of SCI and in the subsequent phosphorylation of NMDA receptors in the lumbar spinal cord, which appear to contribute to the induction of bilateral below-level pain in SCI rats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spinal neuronal NOS activation mediates sigma-1 receptor-induced mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity in mice: involvement of PKC-dependent GluN1 phosphorylation

Dae Hyun Roh, +8 more
- 01 Aug 2011 - 
TL;DR: The role of NO is examined in this process, as it plays a critical role in PKC‐mediated calcium signalling and the potentiation of NMDA receptor function.
Journal ArticleDOI

An increase in spinal dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) enhances NMDA-induced pain via phosphorylation of the NR1 subunit in mice: involvement of the sigma-1 receptor.

Seo Yeon Yoon, +7 more
- 01 Nov 2010 - 
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that the DHEAS-induced enhancement of NMDA-mediated nociception is dependent on an increase in PKC- and PKA-dependent pNR1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spinal sigma-1 receptors activate NADPH oxidase 2 leading to the induction of pain hypersensitivity in mice and mechanical allodynia in neuropathic rats.

Sheu Ran Choi, +10 more
- 01 Aug 2013 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that spinal Sig-1Rs modulate Nox2 activation and ROS production in the spinal cord, and ultimately contribute to the Sig- 1R-induced pain hypersensitivity and the peripheral nerve injury-induced induction of chronic neuropathic pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microglial interleukin-1β in the ipsilateral dorsal horn inhibits the development of mirror-image contralateral mechanical allodynia through astrocyte activation in a rat model of inflammatory pain.

Hoon Seong Choi, +11 more
- 01 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: Results suggest that spinal IL-1&bgr; derived from activated microglia temporarily suppresses astrocyte activation, which can ultimately prevent the development of contralateral MA under inflammatory conditions, and imply that microglial IL- 1&b gr; plays an important role in regulating the induction of inflammatory MIP.
