| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We studied mechanisms for TRPV1-mediated control of neuropathic pain in mice. We found recruitment of immune cells and differentiation and hypertrophy of adipocyte in the injured sciatic nerve tissue. Stimulation of TRPV1 on immune cells inhibited the development of neuropathic pain. Interaction of immune cells and adipocytes in the injured nerve tissue facilitates the development of neuropathic pain, revealed by gene expression profiling in co-culture of immune cells and adipocytes. These studies suggest that TRPV1 on immune cells is a target molecule for the control of neuropathic pain.
