We use chemical stimulation of the rat’s dura as a model of intracranial pain.
Dural inflammation promoted assembly of the multiprotein NALP3 complex in TG neurons.
Dural inflammation induces processing of proIL-1尾 into the actived form in TG neurons.
Caspase-1 inhibition reduces IS-induced activation and processing of IL-1尾.
The NALP3 inflammasome and IL-1尾 are present mainly in C-type neurons of TGs.
