Lentiviral ‑mediated inducible silencing of TLR4 attenuates neuropathic pain in a rat model of chronic constriction injury.
In conclusion, TLR4 may serve a significant role in neuropathy and the results of the present study provide an inducible lentivirus‑mediated siRNA against TLR4 that may serve as a potential novel strategy to be applied in gene therapy for NP in the future.

Identification of critical genes in nucleus pulposus cells isolated from degenerated intervertebral discs using bioinformatics analysis.
In conclusion, IL‑6, VEGFA, THBS1, ITGA4 and collagen genes may contribute to the progression of IVD degeneration. These results suggested that the manipulation of these genes and their products may have potential as a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of patients with IVD.

SDF‑1/CXCR4 axis induces apoptosis of human degenerative nucleus pulposus cells via the NF‑κB pathway.
In conclusion, the SDF‑1/CXCR4 axis promoted cell apoptosis in human degenerative NPCs via the NF‑κB pathway, thus suggesting that SDF‑1/CXCR signaling may be a therapeutic target for the treatment of degenerative IVD diseases. PMID: 27220474 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Intrathecal injection of phosphodiesterase 4B-specific siRNA attenuates neuropathic pain in rats with L5 spinal nerve ligation.
Authors: Ji Q, Di Y, He X, Liu Q, Liu J, Li W, Zhang L Abstract Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) is an adenosine cyclic 3,5-monophosphate-specific degradative enzyme, which is closely associated with the inflammatory response. Among its four subtypes (A‑D), it remains unclear which one exerts suppressive effects on inflammation and reduces neuropathic pain. The present study aimed to examine the modulation of neuroinflammation by PDE4 subtypes in the spinal cord of a rat model of L5 spinal nerve ligation (SNL)‑induced neuropathic pain. The expression levels of PDE4A‑D were measured in the lumbar spinal cords of naÃ...
