ABSTRACT:
Pain requires input from nociceptors which are specialised peripheral sensory neurons in dorsal root ganglia (DRG). To explore the nociceptor-specific mRNA profiles, we used microarray analysis to examine the altered repertoire of genes expressed in DRG from mice depleted of Nav1.8-expressing neurons which are mainly nociceptors. To generate the animal, a Nav1.8 knock-in Cre-expressing mouse (Nav1.8-Cre) was used to excise a floxed stop upstream of globally expressed diphtheria toxin A-subunit gene (ROSA26-eGFP-DTA). By crossing heterozygous Cre mice with homozygous toxin-expressing floxed mice, experimental toxin-expressing (DTA) mice, in which DTA expressing nociceptors had been deleted, were generated. 6 DTA mice and 6 litter mate controls were used for microarray analysis. 3 Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array chips were employed for analysis of the gene transcripts of each conditions.
