Abstract

Paclitaxel-induced downregulation of two-pore domain K+ channel 1.1 (K1.1) caused by increasing DNA methylation within its gene promoter in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) contributes to neuropathic pain. Given that ten-eleven translocation methylcytosine dioxygenase 1 (TET1) promotes DNA demethylation and gene transcription, the present study investigated whether DRG overexpression of TET1 produces an antinociceptive effect on the paclitaxel-induced nociceptive hypersensitivity.
