The interaction between P2X3 and TRPV1 in the dorsal root ganglia of adult rats with different pathological pains.

ABSTRACT: Peripheral inflammatory and neuropathic pain are closely related to the activation of purinergic receptor P2X ligand-gated ion channel 3 (P2X3) and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), but the interaction between P2X3 and TRPV1 in different types of pathological pain has rarely been reported. In this study, complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced inflammatory pain and spared nerve injury (SNI)-induced neuropathic pain models were established in adult rats. The interactions between P2X3 and TRPV1 in the dorsal root ganglion were observed by pharmacological, co-immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence and whole-cell patch-clamp recording assays. TRPV1 was shown to promote the induction of spontaneous pain caused by P2X3 in the SNI model, but the induction of spontaneous pain beh
