Repurposed anti-TNF Antibodies for Pain?<br />

• When tissue injury and skin<br />

inflammation ensue, chronic<br />

inflammatory signals are released<br />

from surrounding cells at <strong>the</strong><br />

peripheral nerve terminal and lead to<br />

<strong>the</strong> sensitization of <strong>the</strong> nociceptors.<br />

• Such factors include, but are not<br />

limited to, adenosine and its related<br />

mono- or polyphosphorylated<br />

compounds (AMP, ADP and ATP),<br />

bradykinin, glutamate, histamine,<br />

interleukin 1, interleukin 6, nerve<br />

growth factor, platelet-activating<br />

factor, prostaglandin E2, substance<br />

P and tumor-necrosis factor-α.<br />
