To study these effects, we use a murine model generated by injecting mouse oral cancer squamous cell carcinoma (MOC2) into the sciatic nerve (MOC2-PNI) in both male and female mice. We found that MOC2-PNI induces a profound change in the somatosensory landscape by deactivating/blocking the peripheral inputs while modulating the afferent's sensibility (tactile desensitization with concurrent nociceptive sensitization) and demyelination without inducing spontaneous activity. All these changes caused by MOC2-PNI are unmitigated by the absence of TNFR1. We conclude that MOC2-PNI induces an aberrant neuronal excitability state and triggers extreme gender-specific neuronal plasticity.

This study highlights the important role of the TRIM14-NF-κB pathway in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in regulating comorbid depressive symptoms associated with chronic pain. Our results show that the CFA model induces both chronic pain and depression-like behaviors in mice, with significant activation of the ACC brain regions. Specifically, the protein expression of TRIM14 was notably elevated in the ACC of CFA mice. Furthermore, reducing TRIM14 expression alleviated both chronic pain and depression-like behaviors in these mice. In addition, we also discovered that NF-κB may act as a downstream target of TRIM14, as silencing TRIM14 expression led to a reduction in the levels of phosphorylated NF-κB. Notably, inhibiting NF-κB produced similar improvements in chronic pain and depression-like behaviors, mirroring the effects observed with TRIM14 knockdown. In summary, our findings emphasize the critical role of the TRIM14-NF-κB pathway in regulating chronic pain and depression-like behaviors in the CFA mouse model.

We also found that the N-type calcium channel blocker ω-conotoxin GVIA (ω-Ctx GVIA) had an inhibitory effect on basal synaptic transmission. The inhibitory effect was not consistent across channels, suggesting the actions effect of N-type VGCCs in RSC was inhomogeneous in spatial distribution. Our findings provide strong evidence that excitatory synaptic transmission in the RSC is mainly mediated by AMPA receptors and that N-type VGCCs mediate fast synaptic transmission in the RSC of adult mice.</p>","PeriodicalId":19010,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Pain","volume":" ","pages":"17448069251335500"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12171265/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144034271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
