Abstract
Purinergic signaling system plays a pivotal role in the trigeminal ganglion (TG) which is a primary sensory tissue in vertebrate nervous systems involving orofacial nociception and peripheral sensitization. Despite previous efforts to reveal the expression patterns of purinergic components in the mouse TG, it is still unknown the interspecies differences between human and mouse. In this study, we provide a comprehensive transcriptome profile of the purinergic signaling system across diverse cell types and neuronal subpopulations within the human TG, systematically comparing it with mouse TG. In addition, the evolutionary conservation and species-specific expression patterns of the purinergic components are also discussed. We propose that the data can improve our understanding of purinergic signaling in the peripheral nervous system and facilitate the identification of novel therapeutic targets.
