TNF activates SCN9A. 6 / 6

reach
"In addition, TNF-α up-regulated the protein expression of the TTX-S NaV1.7 channel in adrenal chromaffin cells."

"TNF-α increases Na(+) currents by accelerating the channel activation as well as increasing the expression of VGSCs in a mechanism dependent upon NF-κB and p38 MAPK signal pathways in CNS neurons. TNF-α increased Na(+) currents by accelerating the activation of VGSCs. The threshold for action potential (AP) was decreased and firing rate were increased. VGSCs were up-regulated at both the mRNA and protein levels."

reach
"TNF-α up-regulated NaV1.7 mRNA in both adrenal chromaffin cells and DRG neurons."

reach
"TNF-α up-regulated NaV1.7 mRNA by 132% ± 9% (N = 5, P = 0.004) in adrenal chromaffin cells, as well as 117% ± 2% (N = 5, P < 0.0001) in DRG neurons."

reach
"Western blot analysis showed that TNF-α increased NaV1.7 protein up to 166% ± 24% (N = 5, corrected P < 0.0001) in adrenal chromaffin cells, concentration- and time-dependently."

reach
"These data suggest that increased TNF-α may be responsible for up-regulation of Nav1.7 in DRG neurons of rats with DN, and NF-κB signal pathway is involved in this process."
