"Cold allodynia but not mechanical allodynia induced by pT-ION or by virus-mediated overexpression of Cx36 in the trigeminal ganglion was reversed by the GluK2 antagonist NS102, and knocking down Cx36 expression in Nav1.8-expressing nociceptors by injecting virus into the orofacial skin area of Nav1.8-Cre mice attenuated cold allodynia but not mechanical allodynia."

"Although it is possible that Cre expression in dorsal root ganglia in the Nav1.8-Cre mice may not be restricted to nociceptors and may also affect low threshold mechanoreceptor sensory neurons ( xref ), it remains unclear whether deletion of DORs solely on nociceptors is responsible for the enhancement of mechanical pain."

"To examine corneal innervation, the Nav1.8-cre;tdTomato reporter mouse line was utilized, since the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.8 is preferentially expressed in C-fibers, including > 90% of IB4-binding neurons (nonpeptidergic C-fibers) and CGRP-positive neurons (peptidergic C-fibers) xref ."

"Similarly, when a large portion of nociceptive neurons were depleted using Nav1.8-Cre lineage ablation in mice, monocyte recruitment and lymphadenopathy increased in a Staphylococcus aureus subcutaneous infection model; CGRP also decreased TNFα production from macrophages ( xref ) [ xref ]."

"To explore the role of Nav1.8+ sensory nerves within the tumour microenvironment, we have induced targeted diphtheria toxin‐based cell ablation. xref We crossed Nav1.8‐Cre mice with inducible diphtheria toxin A (iDTA) transgenic mice to specifically deplete all sensory neurons. xref Nav1.8‐Cre/iDTA mice were previously shown to be devoid of all Nav1.8‐expressing nociceptors, xref and have no response to mechanical stimuli, noxious heat or capsaicin. xref Genetic depletion of sensory nerves was confirmed by immunohistochemistry to Nav1.8 in the dorsal root ganglions of these animals (Figure xref C,D)."

"The use of the Nav1.8-Cre;tdTomato reporter appeared to label the vast majority of corneal afferents, with the likely exception of autonomic neurons and up to 80% of cool sensing neurons that do not express Nav1.8, indicating that use of this mouse could be a valuable tool in longitudinal studies to track corneal sensory innervation ( xref ; xref )."

"To determine novel bacterial mechanisms which may modulate pain-related signaling, we mined our mouse transcriptional dataset of FACS-sorted DRG neuron populations xref and found that Antxr2 was enriched by 5-fold in Na v 1.8 lineage ( Nav1.8-cre Rosa26-Tdtomato +) neurons compared to Parvalbumin lineage ( Pvalb-cre Rosa26-Tdtomato +) proprioceptive neurons ( xref )."

"Viewed with TEM, the ultrastructure of pathological Nav1.8 Cre/+ ;ROSA26 lacZ /+afferents ( xref ) was similar to those of theKcna6 lacZ/lacZ mice ( xref ), while normal morphology of primary afferent terminals was observed in Nav1.8-Cre negative littermate controls ( xref ) and in Kcna6 -/- knock-out mice not expressing lacZ ( xref )."

"A previous study, also using Nav1.8-Cre;tdTomato mice, found no difference in innervation density at 14-days after excision of only the extraorbital lacrimal gland ( xref ), indicating that the severity of dry eye likely contributed to the amount of denervation observed in the present study."
