| Research Abstract |
QX-314 with capsaicin has been reported to produce long-lasting block of acute pain. However, little is reported of their effectiveness on neuropathic pain (NP) after nerve injury which involves various biophysical and molecular changes in sensory neurons. In this study the effect of this combination was evaluated under NP and non-NP conditions after inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) transection.
The magnitude of QX-314 with capsaicin induced local anesthetic block varied under various conditions; however, no block was observed under NP conditions at 2 weeks after transection. Immunohistochemical study revealed that the number of regenerated neurons with transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) expression gradually increased over time after transection. Unmyelinated neurons expressing TRPV1 regenerated slowly, especially in the presence of NP. In addition, TRPV1 expression shifted to myelinated fibers and this shift was more intense under NP than under non-NP conditions.
