Project description:Gout is a prevalent and painful inflammatory arthritis, and its global burden continues to rise. Intense pain induced by gout attacks is a major complication of gout. Treatment and long-term management for gout patients remain challenging. Despite the discovery of many key immune response and inflammatory genes and pathways in gout, the molecular mechanisms of gout inflammation are still not entirely elucidated. Particularly, systematic studies of gout inflammation and pain are lacking. Using a monosodium urate (MSU) crystals-induced gout model, we performed genome-wide transcriptome analysis for the ankle joint, dorsal root ganglion (DRG), and spinal cord of gout mice. Our results revealed transcriptional changes in both the joint and the nervous system. Furthermore, through integrated analysis with public datasets of mouse inflammatory pain and neuropathic pain models, human GWAS, osteoarthritis (OA), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), we identified common and unique features associated with acute gout inflammation and severe pain.

Project description:Objectives : Joint pain causes a significant morbidity in osteoarthritis (OA). The synovium as an innervated joint structure might contribute to the peripheral pain in OA. Methods : We used a hypothesis-free next generation RNA sequencing to study protein coding and small non-coding transcriptomes in knee synovial tissues of OA patients (n=10) with high and low knee pain (evaluated by visual analogue scale) followed by Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway analyses and integration of mRNAs and small RNAs data sets. Results : We showed that 33 protein-coding genes and 35 small RNAs were differentially expressed in the knee synovium of patients with high compared to low intensity knee pain, with 30 mRNAs and 14 small RNAs being upregulated and 2 mRNAs and 21 small RNAs being downregulated. Top enriched genes, such as SDIM1 and CPE encode neuronal proteins that share molecular properties with neurotrophic factor BDNF and promote neuronal survival under cellular stress, and OTOF participates in calcium-dependent synaptic exocytosis and modulation of GABAergic activity. TrkB was enriched in several gene networks, suggesting its key role in pain-related transcriptional changes in OA joint. Downregulation of PTX3 in high pain group supports an argument that inflammation and pain are independent processes in symptomatic knee OA. MiR-146a-3p and miR150 appeared as the microRNA candidates in the pathogenesis of OA-related knee pain. Conclusions : Here we uncovered the molecular complexity of pain-related transcriptome changes in the synovium of knee joints in osteoarthritis. We identified new molecular candidates in OA pain setting a firm ground for future mechanistic studies and drug discovery in OA.

Project description:Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) is a very common type of joint injury.Unfortunately, a certain proportion of individuals who once developed LAS may suffer persistent ankle pain and recurrent sprains. However, the molecular pain mechanisms underlying LAS are still not well understood. To investigate the potential mechanisms of pain in LAS model mice, we performed RNA- Seq of ipsilateral DRG of sham and LAS model group mice. GO analysis found that the mostly enriched biological process include immune response and positive regulation of gene expression. Immune response can trigger neuroinflammation, a critical process for peripheral sensitization and contributes to chronic pain mechanisms. Furthermore, our RNA-Seq analysis indicated that LAS modulated the expression of multiple genes and gene networks in the DRGs. Our work may help to further advance the understandings of the molecular pain mechanisms underlying LAS and help to identify novel targets for LAS.

Project description:Cartilage mineralization is a tightly controlled process, imperative for skeletal growth and fracture repair. However, in osteoarthritis (OA), cartilage mineralization may impact the joint range of motion, inflict pain and may increase chances for joint effusion. Here we attempt to understand the link between inflammation and cartilage mineralization by targeting SIRT1 and LEF1, both reported to have contrasting effects on cartilage.

Project description:This program addresses the gene signature associated with DRG in the Chung rat model for neuropathic pain. The Chung neuropathic pain profiling data was analyzed by identifying genes that were up- and down-regulated at selected p value and fold change in DRG of the Sprague Dawley rats following spinal nerve ligation compared to the sham-operated controls.

Project description:Objective – Following destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM), mice develop experimental osteoarthritis (OA) and associated pain behaviors that are dependent on the stage of disease. We aimed to describe changes in gene expression in knee-innervating dorsal root ganglia (DRG) after surgery, in order to identify molecular pathways associated with three pre-defined pain phenotypes: “post-surgical pain”, “early-stage OA pain”, and “persistent OA pain”. Design – We performed DMM or sham surgery in 10-week old male C57BL/6 mice and harvested L3-L5 DRG 4, 8, and 16 weeks after surgery or from age-matched naïve mice (n=3/group). RNA was extracted and an Affymetrix Mouse Transcriptome Array 1.0 was performed. Three pain phenotypes were defined: “post-surgical pain” (sham and DMM 4-week vs. 14-week old naïve), “early OA pain” (DMM 4-week vs. sham 4-week), and “persistent OA pain” (DMM 8- and 16-week vs. naïve and sham 8- and 16-week). ‘Top hit’ genes were defined as p<0.001. Pathway analysis (Ingenuity Pathway Analysis) was conducted using differentially expressed genes defined as p<0.05. In addition, we performed qPCR for Ngf and immunohistochemistry for F4/80+ macrophages in the DRG. Results – For each phenotype, top hit genes identified a small number of differentially expressed genes, some of which have been previously associated with pain (7/67 for “post-surgical pain”; 2/14 for “early OA pain”; 8/37 for “persistent OA pain”). Overlap between groups was limited, with 8 genes differentially regulated (p<0.05) in all three phenotypes. Pathway analysis showed that in the persistent OA pain phase many of the functions of differentially regulated genes are related to immune cell recruitment and activation. Genes previously linked to OA pain (CX3CL1, CCL2, TLR1, and NGF) were upregulated in this phenotype and contributed to activation of the neuroinflammation canonical pathway. In separate sets of mice, we confirmed that Ngf was elevated in the DRG 8 weeks after DMM (p=0.03), and numbers of F4/80+ macrophages were increased 16 weeks after DMM (p=0.002 vs. Sham). Conclusion- These transcriptomics findings support the idea that distinct molecular pathways discriminate early from persistent OA pain. Pathway analysis suggests neuroimmune interactions in the DRG contribute to initiation and maintenance of pain in OA. We grouped samples based on pain phenotype in the DMM mouse model of osteoarthritis. Group 1: post-surgical pain (DMM and sham +4 week samples); Group 2: post-surgical control (Naïve +4 week samples); Group 3: Early osteoarthritis pain (DMM +4 week samples); Group 4: Early controls (sham+4 and naive+4 week samples); Group 5: Persistent pain (DMM+8 and DMM+16 week samples); Group 6: Persistent controls (sham+8, naive+8, sham+16, and naive +16 samples). We compared Group 1 vs Group 2; Group 3 vs Group 4; and Group 5 vs Group 6 to draw the conclusions presented in our manuscript.

Project description:Inflammation plays a role in neuropathic pain conditions as well as in pain induced solely by an inflammatory stimulus. Robust mechanical hyperalgesia and allodynia can be induced by locally inflaming the L5 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) in rat. This model allows investigation of the contribution of inflammation per se to chronic pain conditions. Most previous microarray studies of DRG gene expression have investigated neuropathic pain models involving axon transection. To examine the role of inflammation, we used microarray methods to examine gene expression 3 days after local inflammation of the L5 DRG in rat. We observed significant regulation in a large number of genes (23% of observed transcripts), and examined 221 (3%) with a fold-change of 1.5-fold or more in more detail. Immune-related genes were the largest category in this group and included members of the complement system as well as several pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, these upregulated cytokines had no prior links to peripheral pain in the literature other than through microarray studies, though most had previously described roles in CNS (especially neuroinflammatory conditions) as well as in immune responses. The L5 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) was locally inflamed with zymosan/Incomplete Freund's Adjuvant. DRG were isolated 3 days later. Each sample was RNA extracted from a single DRG. 6 samples from rats with local DRG inflammation were compared with 6 samples from sham-operated rats.

Project description:Two out-bred rat selection lines were separated to produce different hypersensitivity phenotypes following nerve injury. These lines were termed High Pain and Low Pain (HP or LP). Each sub-strain was either subject to a Sham surgery or a Spinal Nerve Ligation (SNL) surgery to the L4 and L5 spinal nerves. Three days following surgery L4/L5 Dorsal Root Ganglia (DRG) were dissected from these animals. For the rat line separation protocol see: Devor M, Raber P (1990) Heritability of symptoms in an experimental model of neuropathic pain. Pain 42:51-67. 12 Hybridizations, 3 per condition; Sham HP DRG; 3 day SNL HP DRG; Sham LP DRG; 3 day SNL LP DRG.
