Likewise, the pannexin 1 (Panx1) channel has been described as necessary for initiating and maintaining neuropathic pain, driving nociceptive signals dependent on spinal NMDAR through several possible mechanisms. Through behavioral, pharmacological, and molecular approaches, our study in male rats has revealed several key findings: (1) neurons located in spinal cord laminae I and II express functional Panx1 channels in both neuropathic and sham rats. These channels can open (indicated by YOPRO-1 uptake) through the stimulation of NMDARs with intrathecal NMDA; (2) intrathecal NMDA leads to increased expression of pSrc and pPanx1 in dorsal horn neurons. This elevation exacerbates existing mechanical hyperalgesia in nerve-injured rats; (3) inhibition of Src with intrathecal PP2 or blockade of Panx1 with intrathecal 10Panx effectively mitigates NMDA-induced effects and reduces the spontaneous mechanical hyperalgesia of nerve-injured rats. Notably, while 10Panx successfully alleviates hyperalgesia, it does not alter pSrc expression; and (4) NMDA-stimulated YOPRO-1 uptake in neurons of laminae I-II of spinal cord slices were prevented by the NMDAR antagonist D-AP5, the Src inhibitor PP2 (but not PP3), as well as with the 10Panx and carbenoxolone. Therefore, NMDAR activation in dorsal horn neurons triggers an NMDAR-Src-Panx1 signaling pathway, where Panx1 acts as an enhancing effector in neuropathic pain. This implies that disrupting the NMDAR-Panx1 communication (eg, through Src inhibitors and/or Panx1 blockers) may offer a valuable strategy for managing some forms of chronic pain.</p>","PeriodicalId":19921,"journal":{"name":"PAIN®","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142771234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The review concludes that although there is room for improving and expanding the predictive value of the STarT Back tool, its performance in allocating individuals to their appropriate risk categories cannot alone explain the variation in results of the trials to date. Rather, the learning thus far suggests that challenges in implementing stratified care in clinical practice and in changing professional practice largely explain the contrasting trial results.
