Human iPSC-derived GABAergic Interneuron Transplants Attenuate Neuropathic Pain

ABSTRACT: Neuropathic pain causes severe suffering and most patients are resilient to current therapies. A core element of neuropathic pain is the loss of inhibitory tone in the spinal cord. Previous studies have shown that foetal GABAergic neuron precursors can provide relief from pain. However, the source of these precursor cells and their multipotent status make them unsuitable for therapeutic use. Here we extend these findings by showing, for the first time, that spinally transplanted, terminally differentiated hiPSC-derived GABAergic (iGABAergic) neurons provide significant, long-term and safe relief from neuropathic pain induced by peripheral nerve injury in mice. Furthermore, iGABAergic Neuron transplants survive long term in the injured spinal cord and show evidence of synaptic integration. Together, this provides the proof in principle for the first viable GABAergic transplants to treat human neuropathic pain patients.

GPR160 de-orphanization reveals critical roles in neuropathic pain in rodents

Project description:Treating neuropathic pain is challenging and novel non-opioid based medicines are needed. Using unbiased receptomics, transcriptomic analyses, immunofluorescence and in situ hybridization, expression of the orphan GPCR (oGPCR) GPR160 increased in the rodent dorsal horn of the spinal cord (DH-SC) following traumatic nerve injury. Genetic and immunopharmacological approaches demonstrated that GPR160 inhibition in the spinal cord prevented and reversed neuropathic pain in male and female rodents without altering normal pain response. GPR160 inhibition in the spinal cord attenuated sensory processing in the thalamus, a key relay in the sensory discriminative pathways of pain. We also identified cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript peptide (CARTp) as a GPR160 ligand. Inhibiting endogenous CARTp signaling in spinal cord attenuated neuropathic pain, whereas exogenous intrathecal (i.th.) CARTp evoked painful hypersensitivity through GPR160-dependent ERK and cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB). Our findings de-orphanize GPR160, identify it as a determinant of neuropathic pain and potential therapeutic target, and provide insights to its signaling pathways. CARTp is involved in many diseases including depression, reward and addiction, de-orphanization of GPR160 is a major step forward understanding the role of CARTp signaling in health and disease.

Translational control in the spinal cord regulates gene expression and pain hypersensitivity in the chronic phase of neuropathic pain

Project description:Sensitization of spinal nociceptive circuits plays a cardinal role in neuropathic pain. This sensitization depends on new gene expression that is primarily regulated via transcriptional and translational control mechanisms. The relative roles of these mechanisms in regulating gene expression in the clinically relevant chronic phase of neuropathic pain are not well understood. Here, we show that changes in gene expression in the spinal cord during the chronic phase of neuropathic pain are substantially regulated at the translational level. Downregulating spinal translation at the chronic phase alleviated pain hypersensitivity. Cell-type-specific profiling revealed that spinal inhibitory neurons exhibited greater changes in translation after peripheral nerve injury compared to excitatory neurons. Notably, increasing translation selectively in all inhibitory neurons or parvalbumin-positive (PV + ) interneurons, but not excitatory neurons, promoted mechanical pain hypersensitivity. Furthermore, increasing translation in PV + neurons decreased their intrinsic excitability and spiking activity, whereas reducing translation in spinal PV + neurons prevented the nerve injury-induced decrease in excitability. Thus, translational control mechanisms in the spinal cord, primarily in inhibitory neurons, play a critical role in mediating neuropathic pain hypersensitivity.

HDAC inhibitors attenuate the development of hypersensitivity in models of neuropathic pain [DRG tissue]

Project description:Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) interfere with the epigenetic process of histone acetylation and are known to have analgesic properties in models of chronic inflammatory pain. The aim of this study was to determine whether these compounds could also affect neuropathic pain. Different class I HDACIs were delivered intrathecally into rat spinal cord in models of traumatic nerve injury and antiretroviral drug-induced peripheral neuropathy (stavudine, d4T). Mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity was attenuated by 40% to 50% as a result of HDACI treatment, but only if started before any insult. The drugs globally increased histone acetylation in the spinal cord, but appeared to have no measurable effects in relevant dorsal root ganglia in this treatment paradigm, suggesting that any potential mechanism should be sought in the central nervous system. Microarray analysis of dorsal cord RNA revealed the signature of the specific compound used (MS-275) and suggested that its main effect was mediated through HDAC1. Taken together, these data support a role for histone acetylation in the emergence of neuropathic pain. n = 4, HDACi treated vs. vehicle treated. Injured ipsilateral DRG after L5 spinal nerve transection. Spinal cord tissue was run in a separate Affymetrix experiment.

Single cell RNA-seq of the spinal cord in a neuropathic pain model.

Project description:We produced single-cell transcriptomes from the mouse spinal cord using Drop-seq in animals modeling neuropathic pain and superficial injury (SI) controls. We used the spared nerve injury (SNI) model of neuropathic pain. ~10,000 cells from sham surgery controls and ~9,000 cells from SNI animals were sequenced. Unbiased cell clustering yielded 66 spinal cell subtypes sequenced at relatively low depth (~1200 transcripts/cell). Comparisons between SI and SNI cells were performed to investigate cell-specific differences during a neuropathic pain state.

Therapeutic Interrupting C/EBPβ-Clec7a Cross-talk-mediated NLRP3 Inflammasome-dependent Pyroptosis for Relieving Neuropathic Pain

Project description:Neuropathic pain (NP) is a complex chronic pain due to the nervous system damage or diseases.During NP development and progression, the neuroinflammation has been observed along the pain pathways from the spinal cord to the thalamus and the parietal cortex. It may be caused by the activation of glial cells, especially microglia, with production of cytokines and other inflammatory mediators within the central nervous system (CNS), especially in spinal cord. In this study, we used high-throughput RNA-seq technology to detect the global gene expression in spinal cord of rats in sham group and CCI model group(an animal model of neuropathic pain), and the differentially expressed genes between diseases and control group were obtained.Significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of the Sham vs. CCI groups were identified using the criteria of a fold change>1.5 and P value <0.05. Finally, we focused on C/EBPβ-Clec7a Cross-talk-mediated NLRP3 Inflammasome-dependent Pyroptosis pathway and further studied its role in neuropathic pain.

Quantitative proteomic analysis of cellular nuclear protein TMT markers from rat spinal cord tissue samples in neuropathic pain model

Project description:To further reveal the mechanism of neuropathic pain, we simulated neuropathic pain by constructing a chronic constriction injury of the sciatic nerve (CCI) model, followed by quantitative proteomic analysis of rat spinal cord cell nuclei at 1 day, 7 days and sham-operated groups after CCI. A total of 3 samples from each group were used. A total of 5039 proteins were identified in this study, of which 4469 proteins contained quantitative information. Differential proteins were defined by a threshold of change >1.3-fold and t-test p-value <0.05.v

Identification of transcript dysregulation in rats with a neuropathic pain, treated or not with vitamin D

Project description:Clinical observations indicate that vitamin D is a pain alleviating molecule. In order to unveil the molecular mechanisms at play, we performed an experimental study on rats with a neuropathic pain. After three weeks of vitamin D treatment, the cerebrum, the spinal cord and the dorsal root ganglia were collected for a transcriptomic analysis, using cDNA microarrays.
