Ziconotide for treatment of severe chronic pain
Pharmacological management of severe chronic pain is difficult to achieve with currently available analgesic drugs, and remains a large unmet therapeutic need. The synthetic peptide ziconotide has… Expand

No NO, no pain? The role of nitric oxide and cGMP in spinal pain processing
A large body of evidence indicates that nitric oxide (NO) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) essentially contribute to the processing of nociceptive signals in the spinal cord. Many animal… Expand

G protein-independent G1 cell cycle block and apoptosis with morphine in adenocarcinoma cells: involvement of p53 phosphorylation.
Opioid effects on tumor growth have been a controversial topic of discussion. In the present study, morphine inhibited tumor cell proliferation at concentrations of >or=10 micro M. This was primarily… Expand

NADPH Oxidase-4 Maintains Neuropathic Pain after Peripheral Nerve Injury
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to sensitization of pain pathways during neuropathic pain, but little is known about the primary sources of ROS production and how ROS mediate pain… Expand

Celecoxib loses its anti‐inflammatory efficacy at high doses through activation of NF‐κB
Celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2) inhibitor, has recently been approved for the symptomatic treatment of arthritis. In some clinical studies, doses of 400 and 800 mg/day provided… Expand

Tissue distribution of imipenem in critically ill patients
Imipenem is a broad‐spectrum antibiotic used mainly for serious infections in critically ill patients. Because the infection originates mostly from a certain tissue, we assessed tissue concentrations… Expand

Cysteine-Rich Protein 2, a Novel Downstream Effector of cGMP/cGMP-Dependent Protein Kinase I-Mediated Persistent Inflammatory Pain
The cGMP/cGMP-dependent protein kinase I (cGKI) signaling pathway plays an important role in spinal nociceptive processing. However, downstream targets of cGKI in this context have not been… Expand

Dual effects of spinally delivered 8-bromo-cyclic guanosine mono-phosphate (8-bromo-cGMP) in formalin-induced nociception in rats
The rat formalin assay was used to assess effects of the cyclic guanosine mono-phosphate (cGMP) analog, 8-bromo-cGMP on nociception and cGMP dependent protein kinase I (protein kinase G; PKG-I)… Expand

cGMP produced by NO-sensitive guanylyl cyclase essentially contributes to inflammatory and neuropathic pain by using targets different from cGMP-dependent protein kinase I.
A large body of evidence indicates that the release of nitric oxide (NO) is crucial for the central sensitization of pain pathways during both inflammatory and neuropathic pain. Here, we investigated… Expand

NOXious signaling in pain processing.
Chronic pain affects millions of people and often causes major health problems. Accumulating evidence indicates that the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as superoxide anion or… Expand
