| Research Abstract |
The activated immune cells-induced peripheral neuroinflammation contributes to the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain. We investigated the involvement of crosstalk between macrophages and T cells in neuropathic pain. Macrophages and T -lymphocytes infiltrated in the injured sciatic nerve, and they expressed GITRL and GITR which are co-stimulatory molecules. The inhibition of crosstalk alleviated nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain. Threfore, the regulation of neuroinflammtion through a crosstalk between macrophages and T -lymphocytes cells plays a crucial role in neuropathic pain.
