Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is joint pain caused by persistent low-grade inflammation, and is characterized by bone remodeling, synovitis, and articular cartilage degeneration. This study focused on undenatured type II collagen (UC-II®) and examined its influence on OA-associated pain. The increased Ca2+ influx to typical nociceptive receptors TRPA1 and TRPV1 in the peripheral neurons of dorsal root ganglia was significantly inhibited by UC-II® treatment and similar inhibitory patterns were confirmed in vivo pain behavior tests in a mouse model of arthritis. Our findings suggest the effectiveness of UC-II® on OA-associated pain.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences (JPS) is an international open access journal intended for the advancement of pharmacological sciences in the world. The Journal welcomes submissions in all fields of experimental and clinical pharmacology, including neuroscience, and biochemical, cellular, and molecular pharmacology for publication as Reviews, Full Papers or Short Communications. Short Communications are short research article intended to provide novel and exciting pharmacological findings. Manuscripts concerning descriptive case reports, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies without pharmacological mechanism and dose-response determinations are not acceptable and will be rejected without peer review. The ethnopharmacological studies are also out of the scope of this journal. Furthermore, JPS does not publish work on the actions of biological extracts unknown chemical composition.
