Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disabling and prevalent condition affecting 27 million US citizens and 4.2 million Canadians. Pain is the primary symptom of OA and it is manifested as mechanical hypersensitivity to joint palpation/movement, although the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. This project aims to examine changes that occur in mechanosensitive ion channels (MSCs) of joint innervating pain-sensing neurons (nociceptors) during OA. These channels transduce mechanical stimuli into electrical signals. Using a mouse model that produces OA-like joint pathophysiology and pain, we assess if alteration in the gating properties of MSCs in joint-innervating nociceptors is a contributor to OA pain. We hypothesize that MSCs are sensitized t...
