| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed an assay to measure the proteolytic activity of botulinum toxin (BoNT), and attempted to synthesize fluorescently labeled full-length BoNT, in order to study molecular mechanisms for the analgesic effect of BoNT. We also generated four kinds of anti-peptide antibodies against SNAP-25, and showed that BoNT/A or BoNT/E cleaves SNAP-25 in cultured trigeminal ganglion neurons. This suggests that peripherally administered BoNT decreases the release of neurotransmitters via the proteolysis of SNARE proteins in sensory ganglion neurons and relieves neuropathic pain.
