| Research Abstract |
I have reported that cancer-related chemical mediators including endothelin-1 sensitize transient receptor vanilloid subfamily 1 (TRPV1), and the expression of TRPV1 in the peripheral neurons is increased, leading to bone cancer pain. However, the mechanisms underlying up-regulation of TRPV1 has been elucidated. Here, I focused on a transcriptional factor runt-related transcription factor 1(Runx1), which was expressed in the peripheral neurons, to clarify the mechanisms of up-regulation of TRPV1 in the bone cancer condition.
