We show that DRG-DH co-cultures characterize salient features of the in vivo physiology of sensory neurons.

Fluorometric imaging experiments demonstrate the elicitation of calcium responses in DH neurons following the stimulation of DRG cell bodies or axons.

This study examined the correlation between RS activity and behavior during both painful and pain-free periods in individuals with primary dysmenorrhea (PDM) to elucidate their adaptive and maladaptive responses throughout the menstrual cycle. Methods Ninety-two individuals with PDM and 90 control participants underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) scans during their menstrual and peri-ovulatory phases. Regional homogeneity (ReHo) and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) analyses were used to evaluate RS responses. Psychological evaluations were conducted using the McGill Pain Questionnaire and the Pain Catastrophizing Scale. Results ReHo analysis showed higher values in the left putamen and right amygdala of the PDM group during the peri-ovulatory phase compared to the menstrual phase. ALFF analysis revealed lower values in the putamen of the PDM group compared to controls, regardless of phase. ReHo and ALFF values in the putamen, amygdala, and nucleus accumbens were positively correlated with pain scales during menstruation, while ALFF values in the ventral tegmental area inversely correlated with pain intensity. Those with severe PDM (pain intensity ≥ 7) displayed distinct amygdala ALFF patterns between pain and pain-free phases. PDM participants also had lower ReHo values in the left insula during menstruation, with no direct correlation to pain compared to controls. Discussion Our study highlights the pivotal role of the RS in dysmenorrhea management, exhibiting varied responses between menstrual discomfort and non-painful periods among individuals with PDM. During menstruation, the RS triggers mechanisms for pain avoidance and cognitive coping strategies, while it transitions to processing rewards during the peri-ovulatory phase. This demonstrates the flexibility of the RS in adapting to the recurring pain experienced by those with PDM.","PeriodicalId":19010,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Pain","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142219212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although accumulating evidence supports the involvement of central nervous system sensitization in the development of visceral pain, the precise molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. In this study, we highlight the critical regulatory role of lysine-specific demethylase 6B (KDM6B) in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in chronic visceral pain. To simulate clinical IBS conditions, we utilized the neonatal maternal deprivation (NMD) mouse model. Our results demonstrated that NMD induced chronic visceral pain and anxiety-like behaviors in mice. Notably, the protein expression level of KDM6B significantly increased in the ACC of NMD mice, leading to a reduction in the expression level of H32K7me3. Immunofluorescence staining revealed that KDM6B primarily co-localizes with neurons in the ACC, with minimal presence in microglia and astrocytes. Injecting GSK-J4 (a KDM6B-specific inhibitor) into ACC of NMD mice, resulted in a significant alleviation in chronic visceral pain and anxiety-like behaviors, as well as a remarkable reduction in NR2B expression level. ChIP assay further indicated that KDM6B regulates NR2B expression by influencing the demethylation of H3K27me3. In summary, our findings underscore the critical role of KDM6B in regulating chronic visceral pain and anxiety-like behaviors in NMD mice.

In this study, we conducted in vivo and in vitro experiments by transcriptomics, microdialysis, photogenetics, chemical genetics, and calcium imaging, combined with transgenic animals. Firstly, we detected 2Hz EA at the Zusanli (ST36) increased the level of β-endorphin and transcriptional level of POMC. Our transcriptomics profiling demonstrated that 2Hz EA at the ST36 modulates the expression of c-Fos and Jun B in ARC brain nuclear cluster, and the transcriptional regulation of 2Hz EA mainly occur in POMC neurons by immunofluorescence staining verification. Meaning while, 2Hz EA specifically activated the cAMP-PKA-CREB signaling pathway in ARC which mediating the c-Fos and Jun B transcription, and 2Hz EA analgesia is dependent on the activation of cAMP-PKA-CREB signaling pathway in ARC. In order to investigate how the β-endorphin produced in ARC transfer to integration center PAG, transneuronal tracing technology was used to observe the 2Hz EA promoted the neural projection from ARC to PAG compared to 100Hz EA and sham mice.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of MOTS-c in streptozocin (STZ)-induced PDN model and investigate the putative underlying mechanisms. We found that endogenous MOTS-c levels in plasma and spinal dorsal horn were significantly lower in STZ-treated mice than in control animals. Accordingly, MOTS-c treatment significantly improves STZ-induced weight loss, elevation of blood glucose, mechanical allodynia, and thermal hyperalgesia; however, these effects were blocked by dorsomorphin, an AMPK inhibitor. In addition, MOTS-c treatment significantly enhanced AMPKα1/2 phosphorylation and PGC-1α expression in the lumbar spinal cord of PDN mice. Mechanistic studies indicated that MOTS-c significantly restored mitochondrial biogenesis, inhibited microglia activation, and decreased the production of pro-inflammatory factors, which contributed to the alleviation of pain. Moreover, MOTS-c decreased STZ-induced pain hypersensitivity in PDN mice by activating AMPK/PGC-1α signaling pathway.

In this study, the effect of a preemptive regime on rat behavior and c-fos expression in the spinal cord of the uterine surgical pain model was evaluated.&#x0D; Method: It was a lab-based experimental study in which sixty female Sprague-Dawley rats; eight to ten weeks old, weighing 150–300 gm were used. The rats were divided into three main groups: i) Control group (CG), ii) superficial pain group (SG) (with skin incision only), iii) deep pain group (with skin and uterine incisions). Each group was further divided into three subgroups based on the type of preemptive analgesia administered i.e., “tramadol, buprenorphine, and saline subgroups.” Pain behavior was evaluated using the “Rat Grimace Scale” (RGS) at 2, 4, 6, 9 and 24 hours post-surgery. Additionally, c-fos immunohistochemistry was performed on sections from the spinal dorsal horn (T12-L2), and its expression was evaluated using optical density and mean cell count two hours postoperatively. &#x0D; Results: Significant reduction in the RGS was noted in both the superficial and deep pain groups within the tramadol and buprenorphine subgroups when compared to the saline subgroup (p≤0.05).

In total, we identified 6495 differentially alternatively spliced (DAS) genes. The molecular functions of shared DAS genes between these two models are mainly enriched in calcium signaling pathways, synapse organization, axon regeneration, and neurodegeneration disease. Additionally, we identified 509 DAS in differentially expressed genes (DEGs) shared by these two models, accounting for a small proportion of total DEGs. Our findings supported the hypothesis that the AS has an independent regulation pattern different from transcriptional regulation. Taken together, these findings indicate that AS is one of the important molecular mechanisms of chronic pain in mammals.
