18 kDa Translocator protein (TSPO) is upregulated in rat brain after peripheral nerve injury and downregulated by diroximel fumarate
Neuroimmune signaling is a key process underlying neuropathic pain. Clinical studies have demonstrated that 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO), a putative marker of neuroinflammation, is upregulated in discrete brain regions of patients with chronic pain. However, no preclinical studies have investigated TSPO dynamics in the brain in the context of neuropathic pain and in response to analgesic treatments. We used positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) and [18F]-PBR06 radioligand to measure TSPO levels in the brain across time after chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve in both male and female rats. Up to 10 weeks post-CCI, TSPO expression was increased in discrete brain regions, including medial prefrontal cortex, somatosensory cortex, insular cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, motor cortex, ventral tegmental area, amygdala, midbrain, pons, medulla, and nucleus accumbens. TSPO was broadly upregulated across these regions at 4 weeks post CCI in males, and 10 weeks in females, though there were regional differences between the sexes. Using immunohistochemistry, we confirmed TSPO expression in these regions. We further demonstrated that TSPO was upregulated principally in microglia in the nucleus accumbens core, and astrocytes and endothelial cells in the nucleus accumbens shell. Finally, we tested whether TSPO upregulation was sensitive to diroximel fumarate, a drug that induces endogenous antioxidants via nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). Diroximel fumarate alleviated neuropathic pain and reduced TSPO upregulation. Our findings indicate that TSPO is upregulated over the course of neuropathic pain development and is resolved by an antinociceptive intervention in animals with peripheral nerve injury.
期刊介绍:
Established in 1987, Brain, Behavior, and Immunity proudly serves as the official journal of the Psychoneuroimmunology Research Society (PNIRS). This pioneering journal is dedicated to publishing peer-reviewed basic, experimental, and clinical studies that explore the intricate interactions among behavioral, neural, endocrine, and immune systems in both humans and animals.
As an international and interdisciplinary platform, Brain, Behavior, and Immunity focuses on original research spanning neuroscience, immunology, integrative physiology, behavioral biology, psychiatry, psychology, and clinical medicine. The journal is inclusive of research conducted at various levels, including molecular, cellular, social, and whole organism perspectives. With a commitment to efficiency, the journal facilitates online submission and review, ensuring timely publication of experimental results. Manuscripts typically undergo peer review and are returned to authors within 30 days of submission. It's worth noting that Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, published eight times a year, does not impose submission fees or page charges, fostering an open and accessible platform for scientific discourse.
