Modulation of Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel (VGSC) Activity in Human Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Neurons by Herpesvirus Quiescent Infection
2019-07-25
Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanisms of pain associated with alphaherpesvirus latency are not clear. We hypothesize that the voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSC) on dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons controlling electrical impulses may have abnormal activity during viral latent infection and reactivation. We used HSV-1 to infect human DRG-derived neuronal cell line HD10.6 to study viral latency establishment, maintenance and...
