PACAP6-38 improves nitroglycerin-induced central sensitization by modulating synaptic plasticity at the trigeminal nucleus caudalis in a male rat model of chronic migraine
ConclusionsOur results demonstrated that abnormal synaptic structure in the TNC of CM, which could be reversed by inhibition of PAC1R via down-regulating the ERK/CREB/BDNF signaling pathway. PACAP6-38 improves NTG-induced central sensitization by regulating synaptic plasticity in the TNC of CM rat, which may provide new insights into the treatments targeting PACAP/PAC1R in migraine.
