2013, Journal of Oral BiosciencesCitation Excerpt :CGRP-positive TG neurons in small-cell groups innervating whisker pad skin significantly increased after lower lip inflammation [56]. NGF injection into skin results in increases in the expression of CGRP in the DRG [57], and it increases mRNA and CGRP levels in DRG cultures [58,59]. These findings suggest that NGF produced in the lower lip locally after CFA injection is involved in the up-regulation of CGRP in TG neurons.

2009, PainCitation Excerpt :Receptors for PGE2 are expressed in human dental pulp [19], thus we also examined the effects of PGE2 on iCGRP release. Although we observed a small direct stimulation with PGE2 treatment, we did not detect sensitization of capsaicin-stimulated release by PGE2 as observed from sensory neurons in culture and from spinal cord [39,69,80]. The mu-opioid receptor (MOR) is also present on nerve fibers in the dental pulp [41], therefore we examined the ability of our assay to detect inhibition of capsaicin-stimulated iCGRP release with the MOR agonist, DAMGO.

2009, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :PGE2 is a well-established sensory neuronal sensitizing agent (Martin et al., 1987; Mense, 1981). It is known to sensitize sensory neurons to many stimuli, including high extracellular potassium (Southall and Vasko, 2000). Accordingly, PGE2 enhanced the potassium-stimulated release of iCGRP by nearly twofold (Fig. 4; 14.3%±0.79%).
