"However, the involvement of other transcription factors or molecules in ET-1/ET receptor-mediated Nav1.8 upregulation in HbSS DRG could not be excluded.In conclusion, this study provides evidence for one possible mechanism by which ET-1/ET receptors contribute to SCD-associated pain likely through the NF-κB-triggered upregulation of Nav1.8 in primary sensory neurons."

"In addition, single-cell PCR further showed that 4 out of 5 neurons expressed CXCR5, and all of them expressed Nav1.8 (Fig. 4D), further supporting the colocalization of CXCR5 with Nav1.8 in DRG neurons.We then checked the role of Nav1.8 on CFA- or CXCL13-induced hyperexcitablity of DRG neurons using A-803467, a potent and selective Nav1.8 sodium channel blocker28."

"Thus, it is of interest to further examine whether the expression of other ion channels including delayed rectifier potassium channels differs between HbAA and HbSS DRG neurons and whether these differences are ET receptor-dependent.NF-κB may be a key modulator of ET receptor-dependent Nav1.8 upregulation in HbSS DRG."
