Tumour necrosis factor α mediates transient receptor potential vanilloid 1-dependent bilateral thermal hyperalgesia with distinct peripheral roles of interleukin-1β, protein kinase C and cyclooxygenase-2 signalling

Abstract: TNFalpha plays a pivotal role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but little is known of the mechanisms that link the inflammatory and nociceptive effects of TNFalpha. We have established a murine model of TNFalpha-induced TRPV1-dependent bilateral thermal hyperalgesia that then allowed us to identify distinct peripheral mechanisms involved in mediating TNFalpha-induced ipsilateral and contralateral hyperalgesia. Thermal hyperalgesia and inflammation were assessed in both hindpaws following unilateral intraplantar (i… Show more

“…Bilateral thermal hyperalgesia was TRPV1-dependent and relies on IL-1β in the periphery. And the contralateral IL-1β acted back on the contralateral sensory nerves and sensitises TRPV1, resulting in the contralateral thermal hyperalgesia [34]. This phenomenon prompted that the activation of IL-1β may be involved either directly or indirectly in TRPV1 activation.…”

“…on June 7, 2019. by guest www.bloodjournal.org From elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-␣, IL-1␤, 12-HPETE, Endothelin-1, LTB-4, and PGE 2 . 31 TNF-␣ appears to initiate the inflammatory cytokine cascade that sensitizes TRPV1, 32 and 12-HPETE and LTB-4 are documented endogenous direct activators of TRPV1. 33 ET-1 is also known to sensitize TRPV1.…”

“…Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cells, accounting for around 55-70% of all white blood cells, and are the dominant cell type in sites of inflammation in the first hours following infection or injury. Blockade of neutrophil migration using a polysaccharide selectin inhibitor (fucoidin) abolishes cytokine induced hyperalgesia [88,89]. Neutrophils have been shown to release NGF and prostaglandins, which act to sensitise the nociceptive system, as discussed above [88].…”
