Identification and characterization of a novel type of membrane-associated prostaglandin E synthase.
Membrane-associated prostaglandin E synthase (mPGE synthase) was previously purified to apparent homogeneity from the microsomal fraction of bovine heart (Watanabe, K., et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta… Expand

Transcriptional mechanisms link epithelial plasticity to adhesion and differentiation of epidermal progenitor cells.
During epithelial tissue morphogenesis, developmental progenitor cells undergo dynamic adhesive and cytoskeletal remodeling to trigger proliferation and migration. Transcriptional mechanisms that… Expand

N‐ethylmaleimide‐sensitive fusion protein (NSF) is involved in central sensitization in the spinal cord through GluR2 subunit composition switch after inflammation
Central sensitization, similar to long‐term potentiation in the hippocampus, refers to the increased synaptic efficacy established in somatosensory neurons in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord… Expand

Extracellular Signals That Regulate the Tangential Migration of Olfactory Bulb Neuronal Precursors: Inducers, Inhibitors, and Repellents
Neuronal migration is an essential developmental step in the construction of the vertebrate nervous system, but the extracellular signals involved in initiating and regulating neuronal movement… Expand

Fyn kinase‐mediated phosphorylation of NMDA receptor NR2B subunit at Tyr1472 is essential for maintenance of neuropathic pain
Despite abundant evidence implicating the importance of N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the spinal cord for pain transmission, the signal transduction coupled to NMDA receptor activation is… Expand

Characterization of EP receptor subtypes responsible for prostaglandin E2‐induced pain responses by use of EP1 and EP3 receptor knockout mice
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is known to be the principal pro‐inflammatory prostanoid and play an important role in nociception. To identify PGE receptor (EP) subtypes that mediate pain responses to… Expand

Characterization of nociceptin hyperalgesia and allodynia in conscious mice
Intrathecal (i.t.) administration of nociceptin and high doses of morphine induced allodynia in response to innocuous tactile stimuli, and i.t. nociceptin evoked hyperalgesia in response to noxious… Expand

Characterization of EP‐receptor subtypes involved in allodynia and hyperalgesia induced by intrathecal administration of prostaglandin E2 to mice
1 Intrathecal (i.t.) administration of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) to conscious mice induced allodynia, a state of discomfort and pain evoked by innocuous tactile stimuli, and hyperalgesia as assessed by… Expand

Characterization of the glutamatergic system for induction and maintenance of allodynia
Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and has been shown to be involved in spinal nociceptive processing. We previously demonstrated that intrathecal (i.t.)… Expand
