Abstract:Background: Activation of purinergic receptor P2X ligand-gated ion channel 3 (P2X3), transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1), and transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) by their specific ligands is a major mechanism contributing to magnified pain responses. The relationship between these nonselective cation channels and proteinase-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) activation mediated pain is still to be clarified.Methods: In this study, both in vitro model of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons … Show more
