The role of potassium buffering and apoptosis of trigeminal satellite glial cells in the induction and maintenance of orofacial neuropathic pain in rats
Satellite glial cells (SGC) are laminar cells that wrap completely around the sensory neuron and are responsible for buffering extracellular K+ after neuronal excitation. A decrease in the potassium buffering capacity of SGC has been associated with neuropathic pain (NP) behavior and apoptosis. …

Identification of Connexins in Facilitating Neuron-Satellite Glial Cell Signaling in Trigeminal Ganglia
… communication between neurons and surrounding satellite glial cells via gap junctions in the trigeminal ganglion (TG). The goal of this study was to identify the gap junction proteins, or connexins (Cxs), in the ganglion in response to three different models of inflammation: acute, …

Effect of Intranasal Delivery of Carbon Dioxide on Trigeminal Ganglion Neurons: Inhibition of Neuron-Glia Gap Junction Communication and Neuropeptide Secretion
… via gap junctions between trigeminal neurons and satellite glial cells was seen 2 hrs after capsaicin injection into the whisker pad. This gap junction communication was greatly reduced in animals treated with CO2 prior to capsaicin stimulation. CO2 treatment also blocked the stimulatory effect of …

Characterization of an in Vivo Model of Temporomandibular Joint Inflammation
… detected in V3 neuronal cell bodies and adjacent satellite glial cells 15 minutes and 2 hours following bilateral TMJ injection. Unlike ERK, p38 levels remained elevated 24 hours after injection. Somewhat unexpectedly, increased ERK and p38 levels were also detected in neurons and satellite glia …

The impact of reduced neuronal p75NTR expression on sensory neuron phenotype and associated glia
… similar role in intact sensory neurons and their satellite glial cells (SGCs). To examine the impact of suppressing neuronal p75NTR expression on known molecular modulators/regulators of the nociceptive state namely, the sodium channels NaV1.8 and NaV1.9, the nerve growth factor receptor TrkA, the …

From Entry to Dysfunction: SARS-CoV-2 Neuropathogenesis in Peripheral Sensory and Autonomic Neurons and Its Implications
… and found that SARS-CoV-2 infects sustentacular cells and olfactory sensory neurons in the nasal neuroepithelium, enters the olfactory bulb, and spreads throughout the brain. Autopsy studies later suggested that viral entry is also mediated by failure of the blood brain barrier due to …
