Sigma-1 Receptor Modulates CFA-Induced Inflammatory Pain via Sodium Channels in Small DRG Neurons by Yuanlong Song, Zifen Xu, Liangpin Zhang, Linlin Gao

“…Our results revealed several key findings: (1) The expression of Sig-1R was found to be upregulated during the progression of inflammatory pain, with a notable translocation from the cytoplasm to the membrane; (2) Inhibition of peripheral Sig-1R using S1RA resulted in a reduction of CFA-induced allodynia; (3) Activation of Sig-1R through PRE-084 led to a decrease in the fast sodium current in isolated DRG neurons from CFA-treated rats, which was associated with a diminished action potential (AP) peak and maximum depolarizing rate (MDR), as well as an increased rheobase; (4) Furthermore, PRE-084 was observed to enhance the slow component of the sodium current, resulting in hyperpolarization of the threshold potential and an increase in AP firing frequency, alongside an elevation in the mRNA expression of the slow sodium channel Nav1.9 in CFA-treated rats. …”
