Abstract

Mast cells are well known for their role in inflammatory pain. P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) has attracted much attention due to its prominent role in inflammatory diseases. Salicylates are commonly used anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. Until now, little has been known about whether P2X7R in mast cells is involved in inflammatory pain and whether it is a potential target for salicylates.
