DNA methyltransferase DNMT3a contributes to neuropathic pain by repressing Kcna2 in primary afferent neurons

Nature Communications
Here, we report that peripheral nerve injury increases expression of the DNA methyltransferase DNMT3a in the injured DRG neurons via the activation of the transcription factor octamer transcription factor ...
Conversely, in the absence of nerve injury, mimicking this increase reduces the Kcna2 promoter activity, diminishes Kcna2 expression, decreases Kv current, increases excitability in DRG neurons and leads ...

Experimental and computational evidence for an essential role of NaV1.6 in spike initiation at stretch-sensitive colorectal afferent endings
2015
Journal of Neurophysiology
Computational simulation of a colorectal 37 afferent ending that incorporated independent Markov models for Na V 1.6 and Na V 1.7, 38 respectively, recapitulated the experimental findings, suggesting a ...
In addition, 40 computational simulation of a DRG soma showed that by adding a Na V 1.6 41 conductance, a single-spiking neuron was converted into a tonic spiking one. ...
Because 475 experimental studies suggested the absence of Na V 1.6 currents in small-diameter 476 DRG neurons(Cummins et al. 2005), the Na V 1.6 conductance in the c-DRG soma 477 model was set to zero ...

Although TRPV1 channels represent a key player of noxious heat sensation, the precise mechanisms for thermal hyperalgesia remain unknown. ...
More importantly, the reduced ability of TRPV1 knockout mice to develop inflammatory thermal hyperalgesia was rescued by viral infection of lumbar 3/4 DRG neurons of wild-type TRPV1, but not its SUMOylation-deficient ...
