Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We hypothesed that glossodynia was caused by memory formation abnormality, and performed following experiments and obtained results. 1)CFA was injected into mouse and checked the IDO-1 expression in hippocampal area by immunostaining but there seemed to be no relation between pain memory and IDO-1 expression. 2) β actin expression in the 2/3 layer of the somatic sensory area by genome editing of CRISPR/Cas9 and the in utero electroporation was confirmed. 3) Difference of the neuronal activity with the patch clamp was observed in hipocampal slice of knock in mouse (R704C) and in the dispersion neuroligin2 knockdown nerve culture. These results show the possibility that the pain threshold was changed in the model mouse.
