Pretreatment of the ROS Inhibitor Phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone Alleviates Sleep Deprivation-Induced Hyperalgesia by Suppressing Microglia Activation and NLRP3 Inflammasome Activity in the Spinal Dorsal Cord.

ABSTRACT: Sleep deprivation, a common perioperative period health problem, causes ocular discomfort and affects postsurgical pain. However, the mechanism of sleep deprivation-induced increased pain sensitivity is elusive. This study aims to explore the role of ROS in sleep deprivation (SD)-induced hyperalgesia and the underlying mechanism. A 48-h continuous SD was performed prior to the hind paw incision pain modeling in mice. We measured ROS levels, microglial activation, DNA damage and protein levels of iNOS, NLRP3, p-P65 and P65 in mouse spinal dorsal cord. The involvement of ROS in SD-induced prolongation of postsurgical pain was further confirmed by intrathecal injection of ROS inhibitor, phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone (PBN). Pretreatment of 48-h SD in mice significantly prolonged postsurgical pain recovery, manifesting as lowered paw withdrawal mechanical threshold and paw withdrawal thermal latency. It caused ROS increase and upregulation of iNOS on both Day 1 and 7 in mouse spinal dorsal cord. In addition, upregulation of NLRP3 and p-P65, microglial activation and DNA damage were observed in mice pretreated with 48-h SD prior to the incision. Notably, intrathecal injection of PBN significantly reversed the harmful effects of SD on postsurgical pain recovery, hyperalgesia, microglial activation and DNA damage via the NF-κB signaling pathway. Collectively, ROS increase is responsible for SD-induced hyperalgesia through activating microglial, triggering DNA damage and enhancing NLRP3 inflammasome activity in the spinal dorsal cord.

Project description:BackgroundOsteoarthritis (OA), in which macrophage-driven synovitis is considered closely related to cartilage destruction and could occur at any stage, is an inflammatory arthritis. However, there are no effective targets to cure the progression of OA. The NOD-, LRR-,and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in synovial macrophages participates in the pathological inflammatory process and treatment strategies targeting it are considered to be an effective approach for OA. PIM-1 kinase, as a downstream effector of many cytokine signaling pathways, plays a pro-inflammatory role in inflammatory disease.MethodsIn this study, we evaluated the expression of the PIM-1 and the infiltration of synovial macrophages in the human OA synovium. The effects and mechanism of PIM-1 were investigated in mice and human macrophages stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and different agonists such as nigericin, ATP, Monosodium urate (MSU), and Aluminum salt (Alum). The protective effects on chondrocytes were assessed by a modified co-culture system induced by macrophage condition medium (CM). The therapeutic effect in vivo was confirmed by the medial meniscus (DMM)-induced OA in mice.ResultsThe expression of PIM-1 was increased in the human OA synovium which was accompanied by the infiltration of synovial macrophages. In vitro experiments, suppression of PIM-1 by SMI-4a, a specific inhibitor, rapidly inhibited the NLRP3 inflammasome activation in mice and human macrophages and gasdermin-D (GSDME)-mediated pyroptosis. Furthermore, PIM-1 inhibition specifically blocked the apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) oligomerization in the assembly stage. Mechanistically, PIM-1 inhibition alleviated the mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS)/chloride intracellular channel proteins (CLICs)-dependent Cl- efflux signaling pathway, which eventually resulted in the blockade of the ASC oligomerization and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Furthermore, PIM-1 suppression showed chondroprotective effects in the modified co-culture system. Finally, SMI-4a significantly suppressed the expression of PIM-1 in the synovium and reduced the synovitis scores and the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) score in the DMM-induced OA model.ConclusionsTherefore, PIM-1 represented a new class of promising targets as a treatment of OA to target these mechanisms in macrophages and widened the road to therapeutic strategies for OA.
