Snake venom phospholipase A2s (Asp49 and Lys49) induce mechanical allodynia upon peri-sciatic administration: involvement of spinal cord glia, proinflammatory cytokines and nitric oxideMarucia Chacur
Instituto Butantan, Sao Paolo, Brazil
Pain 108:180-91. 2004..As a variety of immune cells also produce and release sPLA2s during inflammatory states, the data may have general implications for the understanding of inflammatory pain...

Controlling neuropathic pain by adeno-associated virus driven production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-10Erin D Milligan
Department of Psychology and the Center for Neuroscience, University of CO at Boulder, Boulder, CO 80309 USA
Mol Pain 1:9. 2005..Taken together, these data provide initial support that intrathecal gene therapy to drive the production of IL-10 may prove to be an efficacious treatment for neuropathic pain...
Glial activation and pathological painJulie Wieseler-Frank
Department of Psychology, Center for Neuroscience, University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, CO 80309 0345, USA
Neurochem Int 45:389-95. 2004..Moreover, the glial-neuronal interactions discussed here are likely not exclusive to pain, but rather are likely to play significant roles in other behavioral phenomena...
A role for proinflammatory cytokines and fractalkine in analgesia, tolerance, and subsequent pain facilitation induced by chronic intrathecal morphineIan N Johnston
Department of Psychology, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado 80309, USA
J Neurosci 24:7353-65. 2004..Taken together, these results suggest that IL-1 and fractalkine are endogenous regulators of morphine analgesia and are involved in the increases in pain sensitivity that occur after chronic opiates...
