Aging, peripheral pain and analgesia |
Status |

Period |
2/2015 - 1/2018 |
Role |
Principal Investigator |
Grant Detail |
We propose to evaluate the effect of aging on the function and regulation of peripheral, pain-sensing neurons and opioid receptor systems expressed by these neurons. Our ultimate goal is to develop analgesics with improved efficacy and safety for use in the elderly population |

Role |
Principal Investigator |
Grant Detail |
The major goal of this project is to study the regulation of kappa opioid receptor (KOR) signaling systems by the MAPKinases, ERK and JNK, as well as acute desensitization of KOR agonist signaling in peripheral sensory neurons, using primary cultures of adult rat sensory neurons and a behavioral model of nociception |

Grant Detail |
We propose to validate approaches to disrupt the formation or function of delta-kappa opioid receptor heteromers expressed by pain-sensing neurons in vivo and ex vivo. |

Title |
Efficacy of P7C3-A20 to prevent pain symptoms of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy |
Status |
Active |
Period |
5/2015 - 4/2016 |
Role |
Principal Investigator |
Grant Detail |
In this pilot project, we will focus on pain behavioral assays (measuring changes in three different pain modalities) to assess if a novel neuroprotective agent, P7C3-A20, is effective against development of signs of CIPN.
We will test the hypothesis that P7C3-A20 prevents development of signs of CIPN (pain) in rats produced by treatment with paclitaxel, vincristine, oxaliplatin, and bortezomib. These drugs are prototypical members of different classes of anticancer drugs with different mechanisms of anticancer action, but all produce painful peripheral neuropathy. Protection of peripheral pain-sensing neurons from damage will be evaluated using behavioral pain assays (thermal heat, thermal cold and mechanical allodynia) |

Role |
Principal Investigator |
Grant Detail |
This is an administrative supplement to extend the study of regulation of kappa opioid receptor (KOR) signaling in peripheral sensory neurons to female rats. The goals of this project are to assess the antinociceptive effects of peripherally-restricted KOR agonists in female rats using behavioral assays of nociception and to assess the cellular signaling of KOR agonists in peripheral sensory neurons derived from female rats. |
