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 />
