Upregulation of P2X4 receptor (P2X4R), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) in activated microglia is associated with hyperalgesia. This study investigated whether nicotine increases pain hypersensitivity by altering the expression of these molecules in microglia. We also examined the role of interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) in this process. Experiments were performed in BV2 microglial cells. IRF8 was knocked down or overexpressed using lentiviruses harboring a short hairpin RNA targe
