RNA Expression Profiling of spinal cord tissues in a Rat Model of Neuropathic Pain

ABSTRACT: Neuropathic pain (NP), defined as a complex chronic pain state caused by somatosensory nervous system lesions or diseases, is currently the most challenging clinical neurological disorder in the world. The main signs and symptoms of NP include spontaneous pain, abnormal pain and hyperalgesia. It is generally believed that the specific pathological causes of NP include spinal cord or peripheral spinal cord injury, postherpetic neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, and tumor invasion. While the critical role of mRNA in NP is well recognized, the involvement of mRNA in the development of NP remains to be elucidated. Therefore, in this study, we explored changes in mRNA expression profiles through transcriptome sequencing to provide a landscape of mRNA dysregulation in the NP spinal cord.

Highly synchronized cortical circuit dynamics revealed by a new mouse model of neuropathic pain

Project description:The cerebral cortex plays a key role in the multi-dimensional human pain experience. However, the neural mechanisms mediating pain-related cortical activity remain largely unknown, particularly in primary somatosensory cortex (S1). We therefore developed a new animal model of trigeminal neuralgia, a prototypical neuropathic pain, which allowed us to evaluate pain-related cortical dynamics with unprecedented translational relevance. Our novel model (FLIT: Foramen Lacerum Impingement of Trigeminal-nerve) displayed robust clinically relevant trigeminal neuralgia-like behaviors, including asymmetric facial grimacing, dental pain-like behaviors, anxiety-like behavior, and sexual dysfunction, capturing many features of the human pain experience. Awake FLIT mice exhibited highly synchronized spontaneous population activity in S1, due to GABAergic interneuron hypoactivity. Remarkably, clinically effective treatments including carbamazepine and trigeminal nerve root decompression abrogated S1 synchronization and alleviated trigeminal neuralgia-like behaviors. These results reveal synchronized S1 activity as a new and important cortical substrate of neuropathic pain, which can be clinically targeted to provide effective therapy.

RNA sequencing of whole blood cells in patients with trigeminal neuralgia

Project description:Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a type of neuropathic pain caused by injury to sensory nerves, manifesting as severe paroxysmal pain of the head and face. Trigeminal neuralgia brings a huge burden to patients, without long-term effective treatment. Changes in the expression of pain-related genes in the whole blood samples of patients play an important role in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and evaluation of treatment effects of trigeminal neuralgia. To better understand the mechanism of trigeminal neuralgia, we collect the whole blood samples from the trigeminal neuralgia patients and the pain-free healthy comparisons. RNA-seq was conducted between the two groups to find the transcriptome changes in patients with trigeminal neuralgia.

Spinal astrocytic MeCP2 regulates Kir4.1 for the maintenance of chronic hyperalgesia in neuropathic pain

Project description:Previous studies have suggested that astrocyte activation in the spinal dorsal horn may play an important role in the development of chronic neuropathic pain; but the mechanisms involved in astrocyte activation and their modulatory effects remain unknown. The inward rectifying potassium channel protein 4.1 (Kir4.1) is the most important background K+ channel in astrocytes. However, how Kir4.1 is regulated and contributes to behavioral hyperalgesia in chronic pain is unknown. In this study, single-cell RNA sequencing analysis indicated that the expression of Kir4.1 and Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) were both decreased in spinal astrocytes after chronic constriction injury (CCI) in a mouse model. Conditional knockout of the Kir4.1 channel in spinal astrocytes led to hyperalgesia; and overexpression of the Kir4.1 channel in spinal cord relieved CCI-induced hyperalgesia. Expression of spinal Kir4.1 after CCI was regulated by MeCP2. Electrophysiological recording in spinal slices showed that knockdown of Kir4.1 significantly regulated the excitability of astrocytes and then functionally changed the firing patterns of neurons in dorsal spinal cord. Therefore, targeting spinal Kir4.1 maybe an underlying treatment for hyperalgesia in chronic neuropathic pain.

Enhancer profiling uncovers JMJD1C as essential suppressor in neuropathic pain by targeting SOCS

Project description:Neuropathic pain (NP) is induced by injury or diseases of the somatosensory nervous system, which markedly impairs patients’ quality of life. Super-enhancers (SEs) are important cis-regulatory elements, but how they affect NP remains elusive. Therefore, we aim to explore the molecular mechanism by which SEs are involved in NP progression and identify potential drug candidate targets. We first established a rat model characterized with typical NP, and subsequently performed RNA-Seq and H3K27ac ChIP-Seq on spinal cord tissues of NP rats to analyze the active enhancers at the genome-wide level. By analyzing the SE-associated genes involved in NP, combined with qPCR and double immunofluorescence staining results, we found that Jmjd1c is a core SE-associated regulator in NP progression, and Sox6 could activate Jmjd1c transcription by binding to its SE.

DREAM in pain mechanisms in the trigeminal ganglia

Project description:Expression of DREAM in dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord is related to endogenous control mechanisms of acute and chronic pain. In primary sensory trigeminal neurons high levels of endogenous DREAM protein are preferentially localized in the nucleus, suggesting a major transcriptional role. Here, we show that DREAM participates in the control of trigeminal pain perception through the regulation of prodynorphin and BDNF. Furthermore, genome-wide analysis of trigeminal neurons in daDREAM transgenic mice revealed that cathepsin L (CTSL) and the monoglyceride lipase (MGLL) are new DREAM downstream targets and have a role in the regulation of trigeminal nociception.

Therapeutic Interrupting C/EBPβ-Clec7a Cross-talk-mediated NLRP3 Inflammasome-dependent Pyroptosis for Relieving Neuropathic Pain

Project description:Neuropathic pain (NP) is a complex chronic pain due to the nervous system damage or diseases.During NP development and progression, the neuroinflammation has been observed along the pain pathways from the spinal cord to the thalamus and the parietal cortex. It may be caused by the activation of glial cells, especially microglia, with production of cytokines and other inflammatory mediators within the central nervous system (CNS), especially in spinal cord. In this study, we used high-throughput RNA-seq technology to detect the global gene expression in spinal cord of rats in sham group and CCI model group(an animal model of neuropathic pain), and the differentially expressed genes between diseases and control group were obtained.Significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of the Sham vs. CCI groups were identified using the criteria of a fold change>1.5 and P value <0.05. Finally, we focused on C/EBPβ-Clec7a Cross-talk-mediated NLRP3 Inflammasome-dependent Pyroptosis pathway and further studied its role in neuropathic pain.

Levo-tetrahydropalmatine Ameliorates Neuropathic Pain via Suppressing the Activation of the Clec7a-MAPK/NF-κB-NLRP3 Inflammasome Axis

Project description:Due to the complex pathogenesis of neuropathic pain (NP), the therapeutic effect of existing drugs on NP is not satisfactory, which seriously affects the life quality of patients. Accumulating studies have indicated that neuroinflammation in the spinal cord may play a vital role in NP development and progression. Levo-tetrahydropalmatine (l-THP) has been extensively used for the treatment of a variety of chronic pain for decades. However, the analgesic effects and the underlying mechanisms of I-THP against NP have not been fully elucidated. To address this problem, we herein carried out RNA-seq and bioinformatics analyses to identify the effective target profiling of I-THP including 1113 upregulated and 132 downregulated genes in spinal cord obtained from Chronic constrictive injury (CCI) rats with or without I-THP administration.
