Barbosa C, Cummins T
Curr Top Membr . 2016 Sep; 78:599-638. PMID: 27586296
Pain is a serious health problem that impacts the lives of many individuals. Hyperexcitability of peripheral sensory neurons contributes to both acute and chronic pain syndromes. Because voltage-gated sodium currents...

Gracias N, Cummins T, Kelley M, Basile D, Iqbal T, Vasko M
Neurotoxicology . 2010 Oct; 32(1):140-9. PMID: 20932997
Peripheral neuropathy is a major side effect following treatment with the cancer chemotherapeutic drug paclitaxel. Whether paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy is secondary to altered function of small diameter sensory neurons remains...

Dib-Hajj S, Rush A, Cummins T, Hisama F, Novella S, Tyrrell L, et al.
Brain . 2005 Jun; 128(Pt 8):1847-54. PMID: 15958509
Erythromelalgia is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by burning pain in response to warm stimuli or moderate exercise. We describe a novel mutation in a family with erythromelalgia in SCN9A,...

Cummins T, Renganathan M, Stys P, Herzog R, Scarfo K, Horn R, et al.
Neurology . 2003 Jan; 60(2):224-9. PMID: 12552035
Background: An endogenous pentapeptide (Gln-Tyr-Asn-Ala-Asp; QYNAD) that is present at elevated levels in human CSF from patients with demyelinating diseases has been reported to block voltage-gated sodium channels at low...

Bendahhou S, Cummins T, Kula R, Fu Y, Ptacek L
Neurology . 2002 Apr; 58(8):1266-72. PMID: 11971097
Background: Mutations in the human skeletal muscle sodium channels are associated with hyperKPP, hypoKPP, paramyotonia congenita, and potassium-aggravated myotonia. This article describes the clinical manifestations of a patient with hyperKPP...

Renganathan M, Cummins T, Waxman S
J Neurophysiol . 2002 Feb; 87(2):761-75. PMID: 11826045
C-type dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons express three types of Na+ currents: fast TTX-sensitive, slow TTX-resistant, and persistent TTX-resistant Na+ currents. The nitric oxide (NO) donors papa-NONOate and S-nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine inhibit...

Everill B, Cummins T, Waxman S, Kocsis J
Neuroscience . 2001 Sep; 106(1):161-9. PMID: 11564426
Voltage-dependent Na-currents were studied, using whole cell voltage clamp, in acutely dissociated, large (mostly Abeta-fiber type) cutaneous afferent dorsal root ganglia neurons (L(4) and L(5)) from the adult rat. Cells...

Bendahhou S, Cummins T, Griggs R, Fu Y, Ptacek L
Ann Neurol . 2001 Sep; 50(3):417-20. PMID: 11558801
A novel mutation in a family with hypokalemic periodic paralysis is described. The mutation R672S is located in the voltage sensor segment S4 of domain II in the SCN4A gene...

Herzog R, Cummins T, Waxman S
J Neurophysiol . 2001 Sep; 86(3):1351-64. PMID: 11535682
Small dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, which include nociceptors, express multiple voltage-gated sodium currents. In addition to a classical fast inactivating tetrodotoxin-sensitive (TTX-S) sodium current, many of these cells express...

Renganathan M, Cummins T, Waxman S
J Neurophysiol . 2001 Aug; 86(2):629-40. PMID: 11495938
C-type dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons can generate tetrodotoxin-resistant (TTX-R) sodium-dependent action potentials. However, multiple sodium channels are expressed in these neurons, and the molecular identity of the TTX-R sodium...
