Fentanyl induces rapid onset hyperalgesic priming: type I at peripheral and type II at central nociceptor terminals

D Araldi, EV Khomula, LF Ferrari… - Journal of …, 2018 - Soc Neuroscience
Systemic fentanyl induces hyperalgesic priming, long-lasting neuroplasticity in nociceptor
function characterized by prolongation of inflammatory mediator hyperalgesia. To evaluate …

Opioid-induced hyperalgesic priming in single nociceptors

EV Khomula, D Araldi, IJM Bonet… - Journal of …, 2021 - Soc Neuroscience
Clinical µ-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists produce hyperalgesic priming, a form of
maladaptive nociceptor neuroplasticity, resulting in pain chronification. We have established …

Distinct terminal and cell body mechanisms in the nociceptor mediate hyperalgesic priming

LF Ferrari, D Araldi, JD Levine - Journal of Neuroscience, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
Hyperalgesic priming, a form of neuroplasticity in nociceptors, is a model of the transition
from acute to chronic pain in the rat, which involves signaling from the site of an acute tissue …

Systemic morphine produces dose-dependent nociceptor-mediated biphasic changes in nociceptive threshold and neuroplasticity

LF Ferrari, D Araldi, O Bogen, PG Green, JD Levine - Neuroscience, 2019 - Elsevier
We investigated the dose dependence of the role of nociceptors in opioid-induced side-
effects, hyperalgesia and pain chronification, in the rat. Systemic morphine produced a dose …

In vitro nociceptor neuroplasticity associated with in vivo opioid-induced hyperalgesia

EV Khomula, D Araldi, JD Levine - Journal of Neuroscience, 2019 - Soc Neuroscience
Opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH) is a serious adverse event produced by opioid
analgesics. Lack of an in vitro model has hindered study of its underlying mechanisms …

Nociceptor subpopulations involved in hyperalgesic priming

LF Ferrari, O Bogen, JD Levine - Neuroscience, 2010 - Elsevier
We have previously developed a model in the rat for the transition from acute to chronic
pain, hyperalgesic priming, in which a long-lasting neuroplastic change in signaling …

Repeated mu-opioid exposure induces a novel form of the hyperalgesic priming model for transition to chronic pain

D Araldi, LF Ferrari, JD Levine - Journal of Neuroscience, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
The primary afferent nociceptor was used as a model system to study mechanisms of pain
induced by chronic opioid administration. Repeated intradermal injection of the selective mu …

Hyperalgesic priming (type II) induced by repeated opioid exposure: maintenance mechanisms

D Araldi, LF Ferrari, JD Levine - Pain, 2017 - journals.lww.com
We previously developed a model of opioid-induced neuroplasticity in the peripheral
terminal of the nociceptor that could contribute to opioid-induced hyperalgesia, type II …

Accounting for the delay in the transition from acute to chronic pain: axonal and nuclear mechanisms

LF Ferrari, O Bogen, DB Reichling… - Journal of …, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
Acute insults produce hyperalgesic priming, a neuroplastic change in nociceptors that
markedly prolongs inflammatory mediator-induced hyperalgesia. After an acute initiating …

Mu-opioid receptor (MOR) biased agonists induce biphasic dose-dependent hyperalgesia and analgesia, and hyperalgesic priming in the rat

D Araldi, LF Ferrari, JD Levine - Neuroscience, 2018 - Elsevier
Stimulation of the mu-opioid receptor (MOR) on nociceptors with fentanyl can produce
hyperalgesia (opioid-induced hyperalgesia, OIH) and hyperalgesic priming, a model of …
