Connecting Metainflammation and Neuroinflammation Through the PTN-MK-RPTP β/ζ Axis: Relevance in Therapeutic Development
Conclusion The expression of the components of the PTN-MK-RPTPβ/ζ axis in immune cells and in inflammatory diseases suggests important roles for this axis in inflammation. Pleiotrophin has been recently identified as a limiting factor of metainflammation, a chronic pathological state that contributes to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Pleiotrophin also seems to potentiate acute neuroinflammation independently of the inflammatory stimulus while MK seems to play different -even opposite- roles in acute neuroinflammation depending on the stimulus. Which are the functions of MK and PTN in chronic neuroi...

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.

Functional inhibition of chemokine receptor CCR2 by dicer-substrate-siRNA prevents pain development
Conclusion Altogether, these results validate CCR2 as a an appropriate molecular target for pain control and demonstrate that RNAi-based gene therapy represent an highly specific alternative to classical pharmacological approaches to treat central pathologies such as chronic pain.
