IL-10 alleviates radicular pain by inhibiting TNF-α/p65 dependent Nav1.7 up-regulation in DRG neurons of rats.

Authors

Abstract

Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) may induce radicular pain, the upregulation of voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) contributes to radicular pain by generating ectopic discharge of neurons, but the mechanism is unclear. Previously, we reported pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) up-regulated VGSCs in diabetic neuropathy. In this study, we explored the effect of anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) on radicular pain and the possible mechanisms.
