Our results showed that 20 ng/mL IL-1β inhibited IA currents （18.3±10.7）% （n=6, P〈0.05）. IL-1β at 20 ng/mL had no effect on G-V curve of IA but moved the H-infinity curve V0.5 from -36.6±6. 1 mV to-42.4±5.2 mV （n=5, P〈0.01）. However, 20 ng/mL IL-1β had effect on neither the amplitude nor the G-V curve of IK. IL-1β was found to selectively inhibit IA current in TG neurons and the effect may contribute to hyperalgesia under various inflammatory conditions.展开更多
