Upon stimulation substance P is released from C-fibre afferents, leading to activation of neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptors, mainly in laminae I/II neurons of the spinal dorsal horn [13]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Stimulation of NK1 receptors on the endothelium causes vasodilation mediated by nitric oxide. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
These results indicate that in rats i.c.v. but not intraparenchymal infusion of NGF induce mechanical and cold allodynia as well as heat hyperalgesia, which is mediated, at least in part, by activation of NK-1 receptors. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
These data are interpreted as evidence that the second phase of nociceptive scores in the formalin test is attributable at least partially to tonic activation of NK-1 receptors at the spinal level, whether because of a temporally limited release of substance P, for example only during the first phase, but a slow removal or breakdown of substance P, or, more likely, because of tonic release from primary afferents throughout the second phase. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Irrespective of the mechanism, it can be concluded that at least some of the persistent nociceptive effects associated with peripheral inflammation, or at least those provoked by subcutaneous injection of formalin, are mediated via continuous activation of NK-1 receptors at the level of the spinal dorsal horn; this may relate directly to mechanisms underlying prolonged nociceptive pains in humans. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Evidence for tonic activation of NK-1 receptors during the second phase of the formalin test in the Rat. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
These observations support the body of literature that indicate that sustained small fiber input yields a hyperalgesia through activation of spinal NMDA and NK1 receptors and that in turn a portion of this action is mediated by the spinal release of cyclooxygenase products. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Tachykinins mediate a variety of physiological processes in the gastrointestinal, pulmonary and genito-urinary tract mainly through the stimulation of NK1 and NK2 receptors. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
A series of 4-phenylisoquinolone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for NK1 (substance P) antagonist activity. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
At the spinal cord level, NK1 receptors are activated during the synaptic transmission, especially in response to noxious stimuli applied at the receptive field of primary afferent neurons. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Antagonist studies show that the great proportion of the NANC neural mucus secretory response is mediated via NK1 receptors, with little or no contribution from NK2 receptors. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
NK1 receptors mediate tachykinin-induced increase in microvascular clearance in hamster cheek pouch. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
BACKGROUND: Animal studies suggest that substance P, a peptide that preferentially activates the neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor, is involved in pain transmission, with particular importance in pain after inflammation. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Evidence for this is that co-activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate and NK1 receptors can produce long-lasting increases in the responses of STT cells, and antagonists of these receptors prevent central sensitization. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
These results indicate that transactivation of the EGF receptor as well as stimulation of the mitogen activated/extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) are essential for substance P/NK-1 receptor-induced activation of Egr-1 biosynthesis. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
CGRP requires access to its receptors on the cerebrovascular smooth muscle, while selective NK1 and NK2 receptor agonists increase CBF, probably indirectly via their bronchoconstrictor activity. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Significantly extended survival characteristics were observed among patients who displayed an expansion of a population of CD57, CD8 co-positive lymphocytes during therapy in comparison with those patients not displaying this peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) population expansion (34 mo vs. 12 mo, respectively, p = 0.04) and among those patients displaying disease stabilization or better as a clinical response (p = 0.001). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
On the other hand, the three groups (elderly subjects, subjects faced with unresolved stress, and BZ consumers) show increase of the CD57 lymphocyte subset as well as natural killer cytotoxicity. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Indeed, the CD4+CD28- T cells from AS patients that we tested expressed high levels of CD57 and NK receptors, but they lacked expression of CD7, thus sharing typical NK cell features [39]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
LCNEC was strongly positive for CD56, CD57, chromogranin A, synaptophysin, and P504S/alpha methylacyl CoA racemase. | |||||||||||||||
