Abstract

The oxidant sensor transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel expressed by Schwann cells (SCs) has recently been implicated in several models of neuropathic pain in rodents. Here we investigate whether the pro-algesic function of Schwann cell TRPA1 is not limited to mammals by exploring the role of TRPA1 in a model of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in zebrafish larvae.
