ORL 1 Activation Mediates a Novel ORL 1 Receptor Agonist SCH221510 Analgesia in Neuropathic Pain in Rats
AbstractOpioid receptor like 1 (ORL1) receptor activation displayed an anti-nociceptive effect at spinal level for acute and neuropathic pain. SCH221510, an orally active non-peptide ORL1 agonist, was reported to be effective in treating neuropathic pain. The present study used ORL1 antagonist and siRNA to investigate that ORL1 activation mediates intrathecal SCH221510 analgesia in neuropathic pain induced by chronic constrictive injury (CCI) to rat sciatic nerve. Paw withdrawal latency and 50% mechanical threshold were measured for thermal and mechanical hypersensitivity in rats. CCI significantly decreased paw withdrawal...

PKM2 is involved in neuropathic pain by regulating ERK and STAT3 activation in rat spinal cord
ConclusionOur findings demonstrate that inhibiting PKM2 expression effectively attenuates CCI-induced neuropathic pain and inflammatory responses in rats, possibly through regulating ERK and STAT3 signaling pathway.

HDAC2, but Not HDAC1, Regulates Kv1.2 Expression to Mediate Neuropathic Pain in CCI Rats
In this study we established a chronic constrictive injury (CCI) model and used western blot, quantitative real-time PCR, immunostaining, intrathecal injection, and siRNA methods to explore which HDAC subunit is involved in regulating Kv1.2 expression to mediate NPP. Our results demonstrated that nerve injury led to upregulation of HDAC1 expression in the DRG, and of HDAC2 in the DRG and spinal cord. Double-labeling immunofluorescence histochemistry showed that Kv1.2 principally co-localized with HDAC2, but not HDAC1, in NF200-positive large neurons of the DRG. Intrathecal injection with the HDAC inhibitor, suberoylanilide...

Role of ZHX2 in regulating dorsal root ganglion μ-opioid receptor expression in mice with peripheral nerve injuryinduced pain hypersensitivity.
CONCLUSIONS: ZHX2 knockdown in the DRG reverses CCI-induced down-regulation of μ opioid receptor to alleviate periphery nerve injury-induced pain hypersensitivity in mice. PMID: 31511211 [PubMed - in process]

Evaluation of the Effect of (S)-3,4-Dicarboxyphenylglycine as a Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors Subtype 8 Agonist on Thermal Nociception Following Central Neuropathic Pain.
Conclusions: The results revealed that activation of mGluR8 in PAG is not capable of improving the thermal hyperalgesia threshold. Based on the decreased expression of mGluR8 after SCI induced by clip compression injury and its significant increase after treatment of siRNA against mGluR8, this method might still hold promise as an effective treatment of neuropathic pain. It can be concluded that increased expression of mGluR8 is due to the fact that DCPG prevents the death of neurons that express these receptors. PMID: 32460469 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

miR ‑142‑3p targets AC9 to regulate sciatic nerve injury‑induced neuropathic pain by regulating the cAMP/AMPK signalling pathway.
miR‑142‑3p targets AC9 to regulate sciatic nerve injury‑induced neuropathic pain by regulating the cAMP/AMPK signalling pathway. Int J Mol Med. 2020 Dec 16;: Authors: Li X, Wang S, Yang X, Chu H Abstract The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of microRNA (miR)‑142‑3p on neuropathic pain caused by sciatic nerve injury in chronic compression injury (CCI) rats, and further investigate its mechanism. Rat experiments were divided into four parts in the study. In the first part, the rats were divided into the Sham and CCI groups. The expression of miR‑142‑3p, AC9 and cAMP...

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and BDNF
Conclusion: Chronic prenatal stress followed by a second exposure to HeICS in adult offspring exacerbated visceral hypersensitivity (VHS) greater in female offspring that persisted longer than in male offspring. Chronic prenatal stress up-regulated BDNF expression in the lumbar-sacral dorsal horn that correlated with the exacerbation of VHS in female, but not in male offspring by increasing RNA Pol II binding and histone H3 acetylation, and decreasing histone deacetylase 1 association with the core promoter of BDNF in female offspring.

Effect of Epac1 on pERK and VEGF Activation in Postoperative Persistent Pain in Rats
This study suggests that activation of the Epac1 signal might induce local postoperative recovery process, which could be an important mechanism by which to control postoperative chronic pain. Our data suggest that therapy targeted at decreasing Epac1 levels provides promise for the prevention and treatment of chronic postoperative pain.

Spinal SHP2 Contributes to Exaggerated Incisional Pain in Adult Rats Subjected to Neonatal and Adult Incisions via PI3K
Publication date: 10 August 2018 Source:Neuroscience, Volume 385 Author(s): Xu Ding, Wei Yang, Xiao-Dan Liu, Xi Yang, Huan-Min Wang, Jun Tai Neonatal injury-induced exaggeration of pain hypersensitivity after adult trauma is a significant clinical challenge. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Growing evidence shows that spinal Src homology-2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-2 (SHP2) contributes to chronic pain in adult rodents. Here we demonstrated that the phosphorylation and expression of SHP2 in synaptosomal fraction of the spinal dorsal horn are elevated in adult rats subjected ...

Blockade of spinal α5-GABAA receptors differentially reduces reserpine-induced fibromyalgia-type pain in female rats.
Abstract The role of spinal α5 subunit-containing GABAA (α5-GABAA) receptors in chronic pain is controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the participation of spinal α5-GABAA receptors in the reserpine-induced pain model. Reserpine administration induced tactile allodynia and muscle hyperalgesia in female and male rats. Intrathecal injection of L-655,708 and TB 21007 (7 days after the last reserpine injection) decreased tactile allodynia and, at a lesser extent, muscle hyperalgesia in female rats. The effects of these drugs produced a lower antiallodynic and antihyperalgesic effect in male tha...

MZF1 in the Dorsal Root Ganglia Contributes to the Development and Maintenance of Neuropathic Pain via Regulation of TRPV1.
Abstract Previous studies have demonstrated that myeloid zinc finger 1 (MZF1) in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) participates in neuropathic pain induced by chronic-constriction injury (CCI) via regulation of voltage-gated K+ channels (Kv). Emerging evidence indicates that transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is involved in the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain. Although it is known that the transcription of TRPV1 is regulated by Kruppel-like zinc-finger transcription factor 7 (Klf7)-and that the structure of TRPV1 is similar to that of Kv-few studies have systematically investigated the r...

Chronic morphine-mediated upregulation of high mobility group box 1 in the spinal cord contributes to analgesic tolerance and hyperalgesia in rats
We examined whether spinal high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is involved in morphine tolerance and its underlying mechanisms by using a model of repeated intrathecal (i.t.) injections of morphine. The results showed that chronic i.t. morphine exposure led to increased expression of HMGB1, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and their mRNAs in the dorsal horn. Morphine challenge also promoted HMGB1 expression and release in cultured spinal neurons, but these effects were inhibited by TAK-242, naloxone (antagonists of TLR4), and TLR4 siRNA. Intrathecal coadministration of morp...

PARP-1-regulated TNF- α expression in the dorsal root ganglia and spinal dorsal horn contributes to the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain in rats.
PARP-1-regulated TNF-α expression in the dorsal root ganglia and spinal dorsal horn contributes to the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain in rats. Brain Behav Immun. 2020 Apr 10;: Authors: Gao Y, Bai L, Zhou W, Yang Y, Zhang J, Li L, Jiang M, Mi Y, Li TT, Zhang X, Zhang W, Xu JT Abstract Emerging evidence has implicated poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1), a transcriptional coregulator, in a variety of inflammatory diseases. In the current study, the role of PARP-1 in neuropathic pain and the underlying mechanisms were investigated. Neuropathic pain was determined by assessing the paw withdrawal th...
