MZF1 in the Dorsal Root Ganglia Contributes to the Development and Maintenance of Neuropathic Pain via Regulation of TRPV1.
Abstract Previous studies have demonstrated that myeloid zinc finger 1 (MZF1) in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) participates in neuropathic pain induced by chronic-constriction injury (CCI) via regulation of voltage-gated K+ channels (Kv). Emerging evidence indicates that transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is involved in the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain. Although it is known that the transcription of TRPV1 is regulated by Kruppel-like zinc-finger transcription factor 7 (Klf7)-and that the structure of TRPV1 is similar to that of Kv-few studies have systematically investigated the r...

Role of ZHX2 in regulating dorsal root ganglion μ-opioid receptor expression in mice with peripheral nerve injuryinduced pain hypersensitivity.
CONCLUSIONS: ZHX2 knockdown in the DRG reverses CCI-induced down-regulation of μ opioid receptor to alleviate periphery nerve injury-induced pain hypersensitivity in mice. PMID: 31511211 [PubMed - in process]

Down-regulation of zinc transporter-1 in astrocytes induces neuropathic pain via the brain-derived neurotrophic factor - K+-Cl? co-transporter-2 signaling pathway in the mouse spinal cord.
Publication date: Available online 3 November 2016 Source:Neurochemistry International Author(s): Tomoya Kitayama, Katsuya Morita, Naoyo Motoyama, Toshihiro Dohi We previously demonstrated, using a DNA microarray analysis, the down-regulated expression of the slc30a1 gene (zinc transporter 1, ZnT1) in a neuropathic pain model induced by partial sciatic nerve ligation (PSNL). Zinc is an essential trace mineral that plays important roles in physiological functions, and ZnT1 modulates intracellular zinc levels. In the present study, we examined the effects of the down-regulation of the ZnT1 gene in the spinal cord on tactile...
