Kimura M, Nomura S, Ouchi T, Kurashima R, Nakano R, Sekiya H, et al.
Pflugers Arch . 2024 Nov; 477(2):273-290. PMID: 39528838
In odontoblasts, intracellular Ca signaling plays key roles in reactionary dentin formation and generation of dentinal pain. Odontoblasts also express several G protein-coupled receptors that promote production of cyclic AMP...

Kuroda H, Tsukimoto S, Kosai A, Komatsu N, Ouchi T, Kimura M, et al.
Cureus . 2024 Jul; 16(6):e63479. PMID: 39077267
Introduction Oxidative stress, an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defenses, plays an important role in various dental diseases. Local anesthetics are frequently used in dentistry. The...

Ouchi T, Kono K, Satou R, Kurashima R, Yamaguchi K, Kimura M, et al.
Front Physiol . 2024 Jul; 15:1417719. PMID: 38989048
Space is a unique environment characterized by isolation from community life and exposure to circadian misalignment, microgravity, and space radiation. These multiple differences from those experienced on the earth may...

Kunioku Y, Kimura M, Ouchi T, Fukuda K, Shibukawa Y
Biomedicines . 2023 Sep; 11(9). PMID: 37760789
G protein-coupled receptors in trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons are often associated with sensory mechanisms, including nociception. We have previously reported the expression of P2Y receptors, which are G protein-coupled receptors,...

Dohno C, Kimura M, Fujiwara Y, Nakatani K
Nucleic Acids Res . 2023 Aug; 51(18):9533-9541. PMID: 37615580
Single-stranded RNA folds into a variety of secondary and higher-order structures. Distributions and dynamics of multiple RNA conformations are responsible for the biological function of RNA. We here developed a...

Kitayama E, Kimura M, Ouchi T, Furusawa M, Shibukawa Y
Biomolecules . 2023 Jun; 13(6). PMID: 37371459
Odontoblasts are involved in sensory generation as sensory receptor cells and in dentin formation. We previously reported that an increase in intracellular cAMP levels by cannabinoid 1 receptor activation induces...

Nagai S, Kitamura K, Kimura M, Yamamoto H, Katakura A, Shibukawa Y
Bull Tokyo Dent Coll . 2023 Feb; 64(1):1-11. PMID: 36792153
Mechanical stress is an important regulatory factor in bone homeostasis. Mechanical stimulation of osteoblasts has been shown to elicit an increase in the concentration of intracellular free Ca ([Ca]). The...

Ohyama S, Ouchi T, Kimura M, Kurashima R, Yasumatsu K, Nishida D, et al.
Front Physiol . 2023 Jan; 13:891759. PMID: 36589456
According to the "hydrodynamic theory," dentinal pain or sensitivity is caused by dentinal fluid movement following the application of various stimuli to the dentin surface. Recent convergent evidence has shown...

Saito N, Kimura M, Ouchi T, Ichinohe T, Shibukawa Y
Biomolecules . 2022 Dec; 12(12). PMID: 36551174
An inflammatory response following dental pulp injury and/or infection often leads to neurogenic inflammation via the axon reflex. However, the detailed mechanism underlying the occurrence of the axon reflex in...

Bull Tokyo Dent Coll . 2022 Aug; 63(3):109-117. PMID: 35965080
Trigeminal neuralgia occurs in the orofacial region, characteristically causing pain that feels like a transient electric shock. Some histopathological studies have reported that trigeminal neuralgia is caused by mechanical compression...
