| Research Abstract |
We had already reported that activated microglia have a main role for evoking neuropathic pain which is resistant to morphine through the stimulation of P2X4 receptors after nerve damages (Nature, 2003 & 2005). In the present study, we tried to find how microglia receive information of nerve damage and cause the pain. It was clarified that microglia are activated through cytokines such as CCL21 released from the damage nerve, interferon-γ, PDGF. Moreover, transcription factor STAT3 was activated only in astrocytes after nerve damage that is very important for the evoking neuropathic pain.
