Interaction between P2X3 and TRPV1 in the mechanism of pain / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

Pain, as one of the most common clinical symptoms, seriously affects the quality of life of patients.Transient Re-ceptor Potential Vanilloid Type 1 (TRPV1) and Purinergic receptor(P2X3)are both involved in the transmission of a variety of patho-logical pain signals.Their interaction is less reported.This article reviews the interaction between TRPV1 and P2X3 in the pain signal transduction, and provides a new way for the treatment of pain.
