Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep disorder that is associated with increased incidence of chronic musculoskeletal pain. We investigated the mechanism of this association in a mouse model of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) that mimics the repetitive hypoxemias of OSA. After 14 days of CIH, both male and female mice exhibited behaviors indicative of persistent pain, with biochemical markers in the spinal cord dorsal horn and sensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglia consistent with hyperalgesic priming. CIH, but not sleep fragmentation alone, induced an increase in macrophage recruitment to peripheral sensory tissues (sciatic nerve and dorsal root ganglia), an increase in inflammatory cytokines in the circulation, and nociceptor sensitization. Peripheral macrophage ablation blocked CIH-induced hyperalgesic priming. The findings suggest that correcting the hypoxia or targeting macrophage signaling might suppress persistent pain in patients with OSA.
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)是一种普遍存在的睡眠障碍,与慢性肌肉骨骼疼痛的发病率增加有关。我们通过模拟 OSA 重复性低氧血症的慢性间歇性缺氧(CIH)小鼠模型研究了这种关联的机制。CIH 14 天后,雄性和雌性小鼠都表现出持续性疼痛的行为,脊髓背角和背根神经节感觉神经元的生化标记与痛觉亢进引物一致。CIH(而不是单独的睡眠破碎)会诱导巨噬细胞向外周感觉组织(坐骨神经和背根神经节)的招募增加、循环中的炎性细胞因子增加以及痛觉感受器敏感化。外周巨噬细胞消融阻断了CIH诱导的痛觉唤起。研究结果表明,纠正缺氧或针对巨噬细胞信号传导可能会抑制 OSA 患者的持续性疼痛。
