P2X7R in Mast Cells is a Potential Target for Salicylic Acid and Aspirin in Treatment of Inflammatory Pain.
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.
