Role of spinal RIP3 in inflammatory pain and electroacupuncture-mediated analgesic effect in mice.
Abstract
Electroacupuncture (EA) is a potentially useful treatment for inflammatory pain. Receptor-interacting protein 3 (RIP3) triggers the NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome; activation independent of necroptosis has been reported. However, the role of RIP3 in inflammatory pain and its EA-induced analgesic effects remains unclear.
