Evidence is provided that grafting of adult neural stem cells into a rat thoracic spinal cord weight-drop injury improves motor recovery but also causes aberrant axonal sprouting associated with allodynia-like hypersensitivity of forepaws.

The results show that NGF can regulate peptide expression differentially and may also be part of the signal that allows reversion to normal of responses to injury as axons regenerate.

A1Rs do not play an essential role during development, and although they significantly influence synaptic activity, they play a nonessential role in normal physiology under pathophysiological conditions, including noxious stimulation and oxygen deficiency, they are important.
Nitric oxide synthase‐like immunoreactivity in lumbar dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord of rat and monkey and effect of peripheral axotomy

It is demonstrated that axotomy in rat induces a marked upregulation of NOS synthesis in primary sensory neurons, thus suggesting a role for NO in lesioned sensory neurons.

It is shown that a 21-mer PNA, complementary to the human galanin receptor type 1 mRNA, coupled to the cellular transporter peptides, transportan or pAntennapedia, is efficiently taken up into Bowes cells where they block the expression of Galanin receptors.

It is concluded that the Y1 receptor is required for central physiological and pharmacological NPY-induced analgesia and that its activation is both sufficient and required for the release of substance P and initiation of neurogenic inflammation.

Expression of neuropeptide Y and neuropeptide Y (Y1) receptor mRNA in rat spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia following peripheral tissue inflammation
- R. Ji, X. Zhang, Z. Wiesenfeld‐Hallin, T. Hokfelt
- BiologyJournal of Neuroscience
- 1 November 1994
The distinct upregulation of NPY and NPY (Y1) receptor in response to peripheral inflammation suggests an involvement ofNPY in the response to inflammation and in nociception.
