Abstract
<p>Peripheral sensitization, decrease in pain threshold in sensory neurons, can cause chronic pain. Little is known about how peripheral sensitization led to chronic pain. Here, we aimed to develop a method for evaluating peripheral sensitization in cultured sensory neurons with electrical recording. Sensory neurons from rat dorsal root ganglion were cultured on high-density microelectrode arrays, and their activity was evoked by capsaicin stimulation with or without substance P. Fluorescent imaging-based electrode selection effectively selected five times as many capsaicin-sensitive sensory neurons as the existing method. Peripheral sensitization by substance P was detected from 31.9% of selected sensory neurons, and majority of these neurons co-expressed capsaicin and substance P receptors. These results indicate that our method is suitable for evaluating peripheral sensitization by substance P in cultured sensory neurons.</p>
