Project description:As rats do not develop neuropathic pain like hypersensitivity as neonates post nerve injury but do as adults we have used these arrays to help define the processes involved in this process. Rat spinal cord (ipsilateral dorsal horn) was assayed 7 days post SNI injury to the sciatic nerve relative to sham injury. Two age groups of animals were tested Neonates (P10) and Adult (8-12wks). Experiment Overall Design: Six biologically indepenedent arrays were hybridized per assay point. Dorsal horn total RNA was prepared using standard Affymetrix protocols. Affymetrix Rat Expression 230A array used.

Project description:Nerve injury outcomes might be predicted by examining small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in circulation, as their biomolecular cargo facilitates cellular communication and can alter transcriptional state and behavior of recipient cells. We found that sEVs from the serum of spared nerve injury (SNI) model male mice had seven differentially expressed miRNAs compared to sEVs from sham-operated control mice four weeks post-surgery. We investigated how these sEVs alter transcription in primary cortical microglia, a crucial mediator of neuropathic pain, using RNA sequencing. While the uptake of sEVs from both SNI model and sham groups changed gene expression in microglia compared to PBS treatment, sEVs from the sham group induced a more drastic change, particularly in genes involved in immune response. This was recapitulated by increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in microglia incubated with sEVs from sham control compared to sEVs from SNI model, naïve mice, or PBS. However, treating microglia with sEVs from female mice showed that serum sEVs derived from female SNI mice but not from female sham mice induced a more pronounced microglial secretion of pro-inflammatory mediators. Our data demonstrate that the molecular changes induced by sham surgery injuring skin and muscles are reflected in circulating sEVs in male mice four weeks later. Thus, when using sEVs from sham mice as control in comparative mechanistic studies after nerve injury, sex of mice should be taken into consideration.

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).
