A contributing role of neurogenic inflammation has provided a new dimension in understanding the pathogenesis of various cutaneous and systemic inflammatory diseases such as atopic dermatitis, urticaria, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis and bronchial asthma. Several critical observations,
OBJECTIVE
Protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) is expressed on nociceptive neurons, and can sensitize transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels to amplify neurogenic inflammation and pain. The mechanisms by which this occurs are not fully understood. PAR2 causes receptor-operated activation of
Cutaneous changes like rash and hair loss, as well as other neurogenic inflammation side effects, occur frequently during anticancer treatment with the epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), erlotinib. These adverse events may be so severe that they impair the
The putative anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive activity of the heptapeptide somatostatin analogue TT-232 ( D-Phe-Cys-Tyr- D-Thr-Lys-Cys-Thr-NH(2)) was investigated in the rat and mouse, as well as its effect on neuropathic hyperalgesia, gastric ulceration and the release of sensory
BACKGROUND
Functional aspects of mast cell-neuronal interactions remain poorly understood. Mast cell activation and degranulation can result in the release of powerful pro-inflammatory mediators such as histamine and cytokines. Cerebral dural mast cells have been proposed to modulate meningeal
The jugular ganglion (JG) contains sensory neurons of the vagus nerve which innervate somatic and visceral structures in cranial and cervical regions. In this study, the number of sensory neurons in the human JG was investigated. And, the morphology of sensory neurons in the human JG and nodose
Extensive literature regarding the health side effects of ambient pollutants (AP) are available, such as diesel exhaust particles (DEPs), but limited studies are available on their electrophilic contaminant 1,2-Naphthoquinone (1,2-NQ), enzymatically derived from naphthalene. This review summarizes
Neurogenic inflammation encompasses the release of neuropeptides from airway nerves leading to inflammatory effects. This neurogenic inflammatory response of the airways can be initiated by exogenous irritants such as cigarette smoke or gases and is characterized by a bi-directional linkage between
Women have a higher incidence of inflammatory disorders than men and also appear to perceive painful stimuli differently. It has been suggested that neuroinflammation plays a role in painful bladder disorders of uncertain etiology, such as interstitial cystitis. Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a
Substance P is a member of the tachykinin family of neuropeptides that plays an important role in pain transmission, neurogenic inflammatory diseases and the adaptive response to stress. Substance P exerts its biological activities via binding to a G-protein coupled receptor of the neurokinin (NK)
The distribution and origin of peptide-containing and sympathetic nerve fibers were studied in the tympanic membrane of rats with intact innervation, and in rats following sympathectomy, vagotomy, or capsaicin treatment. Nerve fibers showing substance-P-like immunoreactivity (SP-LI), calcitonin
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) release to nerve terminals in the central nervous system is crucial in synaptic transmission and neuronal plasticity. However, BDNF release peripherally from primary afferent neurons has not been investigated. In the present study, we show that BDNF is
1. The aim of the present study was first to determine when airway smooth muscle first appears in the airways of the developing foetal lung and when its contractility is mature and, second, when the airway smooth muscle becomes innervated, both structurally and functionally. 2. Narrowing and
In the present study, the co-localisation of substance P (SP) with the vanilloid receptor TRPV1 and the neurotrophin receptor tyrosine kinase trkA was analysed in airway-specific murine dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. DRG neurons labelled with Fast Blue were predominantly found at the segmental
NGF is a well-known neurotrophic factor essential for the survival and maintenance of primary afferent neurons and sympathetic neurons. NGF is also an inflammatory mediator associated with pain and itch. Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis is a genetic disorder due to loss-of-function
