Methylcobalamin ameliorates neuropathic pain induced by vincristine in rats: Effect on loss of peripheral nerve fibers and imbalance of cytokines in the spinal dorsal horn
Conclusions
Methylcobalamin attenuated vincrinstine-induced neuropathic pain, which was accompanied by inhibition of intraepidermal nerve fibers loss and mitochondria impairment. Inhibiting the activation of NADPH oxidase and the downstream NF-B pathway, resulting in the rebalancing of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the spinal dorsal horn might also be involved. These findings might provide potential target for preventing vincristine-induced neuropathic pain.
