However, the specific therapeutic effects of KHES on neuropathic pain and its underlying mechanisms remain ambiguous, warranting further investigation. In our previous study, we utilized the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify datasets related to neuropathic pain mice. The majority of the identified pathways were found to be associated with inflammatory responses. From these pathways, we selected the transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-2B (NMDAR2B) pathway for further exploration. Mice were randomly divided into four groups: a Sham group, a Sham/KHES group, a chronic constriction injury of the sciatic nerve (CCI) group, and a CCI/KHES stimulation group. KHES administered 30 min every day for 1 week. We evaluated the paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL). The expression of TRPV1 and NMDAR2B in the spinal cord were analyzed using quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, and immunofluorescence assay.

KHES effectively suppressed the expression of TRPV1 and NMDAR2B, consequently inhibiting the activation of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and ionized calcium binding adapter molecule 1 (IBA1) in the spinal cord. The administration of the TRPV1 pathway activator partially reversed the antinociceptive effects of KHES, while the TRPV1 pathway inhibitor achieved analgesic effects similar to KHES.

In vitro imaging of acutely dissociated sensory neurons using membrane-permeant fluorescent Ca<sup>2+</sup> indicators remains the most common approach to study Ca<sup>2+</sup> signalling in sensory neurons. Fluo4 is a popular choice of single-wavelength indicator due to its brightness, high affinity for Ca<sup>2+</sup> and ease of use. However, unlike ratiometric indicators, the emission intensity from single-wavelength indicators can be affected by indicator concentration, optical path length, excitation intensity and detector efficiency. As such, without careful calibration, it can be difficult to draw inferences from differences in the magnitude of Ca<sup>2+</sup> transients recorded using Fluo4. Here, we show that a method scarcely used in sensory neurophysiology - first proposed by Maravall and colleagues (2000) - can provide reliable estimates of absolute cytosolic Ca<sup>2+</sup> concentration ([Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>cyt</sub>) in acutely dissociated sensory neurons using Fluo4. This method is straightforward to implement; is applicable to any high-affinity single-wavelength Ca<sup>2+</sup> indicator with a large dynamic range; and provides estimates of [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>cyt</sub> in line with other methods, including ratiometric imaging. Use of this method will improve the granularity of sensory neuron Ca<sup>2+</sup> imaging data obtained with Fluo4.</p>","PeriodicalId":19010,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Pain","volume":"20 ","pages":"17448069241230420"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10880540/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139913102","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}
