Exploring the Role of RhoA/ROCK Signaling in Pain: A Narrative Review.
Despite significant progress in understanding the mechanisms of pain and developing therapeutic agents, pain remains a challenging and unresolved clinical issue. The Ras homolog gene family member A (RhoA), a member of the small guanosine triphosphate hydrolases (GTPases) of the Ras homolog family, is involved in transmitting signals that regulate various cellular processes. RhoA exerts its effects through a range of downstream effectors, with Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) being the most extensively studied. Emerging evidence suggests that the RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway plays a crucial role in pain transmission and sensitization. Our work indicates that targeting the RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway may offer a promising therapeutic avenue for alleviating pain.
