Females report temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain more than men and studies suggest estrogen modulates this pain response. Our goal in this study was to determine genes that are modulated by physiological levels of 17β-estradiol that could have a role in TMJ pain. To complete this goal, saline or complete Freund’s adjuvant was injected in the TMJ when plasma 17β-estradiol was low or when it was at a high proestrus level. TMJ, trigeminal ganglion and trigeminal subnucleus caudalis/upper cervical cord junction (Vc/C1–2) tissues were isolated from the treated rats and expression of 184 genes was quantitated in each tissue using real time PCR. Significant changes in the amount of specific transcripts were observed in the TMJ tissues, trigeminal ganglia and Vc/C1–2 region when comparing rats with high and low estrogen. GABA A receptor subunit α6 (Gabra6) and the glycine receptor α2 (Glra2) were two genes of interest because of their direct function in neuronal activity and a greater than 29 fold increase in the trigeminal ganglia was observed in proestrus rats with TMJ inflammation. Immunohistochemical studies showed that Gabrα6 and Glrα2 neuronal and not glial expression increased when comparing rats with high and low estrogen. Estrogen receptors α and β are present in neurons of the trigeminal ganglia, whereby 17β-estradiol can alter expression of Gabrα6 and Glrα2. Also, estrogen receptor α (ERα) but not ERβ was observed in satellite glial cells of the trigeminal ganglia. These results demonstrate that genes associated with neurogenic inflammation or neuronal excitability were altered by changes in the concentration of 17β-estradiol.
