We hypothesize that innate immune signals from infectious organisms and/or injured tissues may activate peripheral neuronal pain signals. In this study, we demonstrated that TLRs 3, 7, and 9 are expressed by human dorsal root ganglion neurons (DRGNs) and in cultures of primary mouse DRGNs. Stimulation of murine DRGNs with TLR ligands induced expression and production of proinflammatory chemokines and cytokines CCL5 (RANTES), CXCL10 (IP-10), IL-1α, IL-1β, and PGE(2), which have previously been sh ...[more]
