Abstract

AIMS: Notch1 signaling regulates microglia activation, which promotes neuroinflammation. Neuroinflammation plays an essential role in various kinds of pain sensation, including bladder-related pain in bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC). However, the impact of Notch1 signaling on mechanical allodynia in cyclophosphamide- (CYP-) induced cystitis is unclear. This study is aimed at determining whether and how Notch1 signaling modulates mechanical allodynia of CYP-induced cystitis. METHODS: in the L6-S1 spinal dorsal horn (SDH) was measured with Western blotting analysis and immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS: . CONCLUSION: Notch1 signaling contributes to mechanical allodynia associated with CYP-induced cystitis by promoting microglia activation and neuroinflammation. Our study showed that inhibition of Notch1 signaling might have therapeutic value for treating pain symptoms in BPS/IC.
