Project description:FK1706 potentiated nerve growth factor-induced neurite outgrowth, putatively mediated via FKBP-52 and the Ras/Raf/MAPK signaling pathway. It also improved mechanical allodynia accompanied by the recovery of intraepidermal nerve fiber density in a painful diabetic neuropathy in rats. We analyzed gene expression of the dorsal root ganglia together with measurement of mechanical allodynia in diabetic rats to try to capture the global fingerprint of changes in gene expression associated with FK1706 administration and also to elucidate the putative mechanisms of its neurotrophic activity in vivo. Normal, STZ-treated controls, and STZ + FK1706 groups were used to evaluate gene expression analysis. Dorsal root ganglia from L4 to L6 were collected at the day after 1, 2, and 3 weeks of FK1706 administration, were immediately immersed in RNAlater reagent, and stored as instructed before RNA extraction. Equal amounts of total RNA from five rats were collected for each group.

Project description:Painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). As one of the most disturbing symptoms, mechanical allodynia (MA) in PDPN remains largely unexplored. This dataset contains single-cell RNA sequencing results from rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG). The goal of this experiment was to investigate the transcriptional changes of distinct cell types in the DRG along MA development.

Project description:An insulating myelin sheath ensures saltatory conduction of mechanosensory A afferents. Myelin damage results in the electrical instability of A fibers and the ability to generate pain in response to light touch/pressure (mechanical allodynia). We have hypothesized and then established that the release of T cell epitopes of myelin basic protein (MBP) enables nociceptive circuitry in myelinated fibers. Thus, mass spectrometry analysis of the rat sciatic nerve proteome followed by bioinformatics examination of the datasets revealed a loss of MBP and activation of T-helper cell signaling in the nerves undergoing chronic constriction injury (CCI). Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) proteolysis resulted in the MBP digest peptides, including the MBP84-104 and MBP68-86 regions, which exhibit prominent immunogenic epitopes. Myelin-forming Schwann cells and paranodal areas accumulated MHCII, MMP-9 and the degraded MBP at the sciatic nerve injury site. Administration of the immunodominant MBP84-104 and MBP68-86 peptides but not of the control peptides in a naïve rat sciatic nerve produced robust mechanical allodynia. Allodynia was accompanied by the T cell infiltration and an increase in MHCII, IL-17A and TNF- levels at the nerve injection site and the segmental ganglia. The pro-nociceptive activity of the synthetic MBP84-104 diminished in athymic nude rats lacking T cells. SB-3CT, an antagonist of MMP-9, inhibited mechanical allodynia, neuroinflammation and spinal sensitization after CCI. Collectively, our novel data implicate, for the first time, MMP-mediated cleavage of MBP and the resulting MBP digest fragments as a major cause of neuropathic pain.

Project description:Schwannomas are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors that are associated with substantial morbidity including severe, persistent pain. Treatment, essentially limited to surgical resection, is associated with significant morbidity and for many patient’s efficacious treatment of tumor-related pain is not achievable. There is an urgent need to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying schwannoma-induced pain as a first step in development of new therapeutics. In this study, we performed next-generation RNASequencing on a small cohort of formalin fixed paraffin-embedded, painful, and non-painful schwannoma samples obtained from Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) patients. Differential gene and isoform level expression analysis revealed significant transcriptomic differences between painful and non-painful tumors; differentially regulated genes included members of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family of genes. Using a xenograft model of human-NF2 we demonstrated that over-expression of FGF7 in schwannoma cells was associated with the development of pain-like behaviors. These results demonstrate both the value of RNASeq utilizing formalin fixed tissues and reveal a novel pathway responsible for neoplasm-associated pain.

Project description:Peripheral nerve injury alters the expression of hundreds of proteins in dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Targeting some of these proteins has led to successful treatments for acute pain, but not for sustained postoperative neuropathic pain. The latter may require targeting multiple proteins. Since a single microRNA (miR) can affect the expression of multiple proteins, here, we describe an approach to identify chronic neuropathic pain-relevant miRs. We used two variants of the spared nerve injury (SNI): Sural-SNI and Tibial-SNI and found distinct pain phenotypes between the two. Both models induced strong mechanical allodynia, but only Sural-SNI rats maintained strong mechanical and cold allodynia, as previously reported. In contrast, we found that Tibial-SNI rats recovered from mechanical allodynia and never developed cold allodynia. Since both models involve nerve injury, we increased the probability of identifying differentially regulated miRs that correlated with the quality and magnitude of neuropathic pain and decreased the probability of detecting miRs that are solely involved in neuronal regeneration. We found seven such miRs in L3-L5 DRG. The expression of these miRs increased in Tibial-SNI. These miRs displayed a lower level of expression in Sural-SNI, with four having levels lower than those in sham animals. Bioinformatics analysis of how these miRs could affect the expression of some ion channels supports the view that, following a peripheral nerve injury, the increase of the 7 miRs may contribute to the recovery from neuropathic pain while the decrease of four of them may contribute to the development of chronic neuropathic pain. The approach used resulted in the identification of a small number of potentially neuropathic pain relevant miRs. Additional studies are required to investigate whether manipulating the expression of the identified miRs in primary sensory neurons can prevent or ameliorate chronic neuropathic pain following peripheral nerve injuries. To identify the miRs that were differentially dysregulated between Tibial-SNI and Sural-SNI, we first performed 12 microarrays in a limited number of samples (in four individual DRGs per group: Sham, Tibial-SNI and Sural-SNI; two L3-DRG and two L4-DRG). Then, miRs identified as having differential expression were corroborated with real time qRT-PCR in RNA isolated from individual DRGs (L3, L4 and L5) derived from 4 rats per group (not presented here, but in the manuscript).

Project description:To identify the key genes and pathways which might play critical roles in the pathogenesis of experimental DPN via microarray analysis. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (initial weight 250-300g, from the department of laboratory animal science of Fudan University) were randomly assigned into two groups: control rats and diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced with a single intraperitoneal injection of STZ (55mg/kg). Control rats were performed with a single intraperitoneal injection of 0.9% saline solution. Glucose level was evaluated using Sannuo strips on tail vein blood at day 3 after STZ injection and verified again at day 7 after STZ injection. Only rats with blood glucose level 16.7 mmol/L were considered diabetic.Six weeks after diabetes induction, nerve tissue samples (about 1cm long) were harvested from the right sciatic nerve of rats in control (n=3) and diabetic (n=3) groups for total RAN isolation. Microarray hybridization was then performed according to the Agilent One-Color Microarray-Based Gene Expression Analysis protocol (Agilent Technologies). Quantile normalization and subsequent data processing were performed using the GeneSpring GX v12.1 software package (Agilent Technologies). The univariate t-test with a fold-change >2 and P value < 0.001 was applied to identify the DEGs between control rats and diabetic rats. Credibility of the microarray data was validated through qRT-PCR on 4 genes. Total RNA was independently extracted from the right sciatic nerve of rats in both groups (n=3) 6 weeks after diabetes induction.
