Intrathecal interleukin-1β decreases sigma-1 receptor expression in spinal astrocytes in a murine model of neuropathic pain

The sigma-1 receptor (Sig-1R) plays an important role in spinal pain transmission by increasing phosphorylation of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor GluN1 subunit (pGluN1). As a result Sig-1R has been suggested as a novel therapeutic target for prevention of chronic pain. Here we investigated...
