Article Title: TIMP-1 Attenuates the Development of Inflammatory Pain Through MMP-Dependent and Receptor-Mediated Cell Signaling Mechanisms
doi: 10.3389/fnmol.2019.00220
Figure Lengend Snippet: Mice lacking TIMP-1 show increased sensitivity in non-inflamed tissues. (A) Injection of CFA into the hairy skin causes mechanical hypersensitivity on the plantar surface of the paw to develop 1 day following inflammation in T1KO, but not WT, mice. (B) Graph depicting mechanical responsiveness following inflammation collapsed across time. Inflamed T1KO mice greater mechanical sensitivity overall following cutaneous inflammation. (C) Administration of TIMP-1(FL), TIMP-1(N), or TIMP-1(C) into the hairy skin at the time of inflammation prevents the development of mechanical hypersensitivity in T1KO mice. (D) Hindpaw administration of CFA produces mechanical hypersensitivity on the paw contralateral to inflammation in T1KO relative txo WT mice. Treatment with rmTIMP-1 attenuated contralateral hypersensitivity in T1KO mice. PWT are presented as change from baseline. n = 8/condition, ∗ represent significant differences relative to naïve controls, p < 0.05, and error bars depict SEM. # significantly different from WT mice.
Article Snippet: WT and T1KO mice received injections (s.c.) of recombinant murine (rm)TIMP-1 (10 ng/μL, 10 μL; R&D Systems; Minneapolis, MN) immediately following CFA injection (10 μL) into the right hindpaw.
