Characterization of pain-related behaviors and gene expression profiling of peripheral sensory ganglia of a mouse model of acute ankle sprain

ABSTRACT: Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) is a very common type of joint injury.Unfortunately, a certain proportion of individuals who once developed LAS may suffer persistent ankle pain and recurrent sprains. However, the molecular pain mechanisms underlying LAS are still not well understood. To investigate the potential mechanisms of pain in LAS model mice, we performed RNA- Seq of ipsilateral DRG of sham and LAS model group mice. GO analysis found that the mostly enriched biological process include immune response and positive regulation of gene expression. Immune response can trigger neuroinflammation, a critical process for peripheral sensitization and contributes to chronic pain mechanisms. Furthermore, our RNA-Seq analysis indicated that LAS modulated the expression of multiple genes and gene networks in the DRGs. Our work may help to further advance the understandings of the molecular pain mechanisms underlying LAS and help to identify novel targets for LAS.

Electroacupuncture alleviates mechanical allodynia of a rat model of CRPS-I and modulates gene expression profiles in dorsal root ganglia

Project description:Complex regional pain syndrome type-I (CRPS-I) is chronic neurological disorder accompanied with devastating pain. Most conventional medical treatments lack effectiveness, making CRPS-I a challenging clinical condition. Electroacupuncture (EA) showed effectiveness in alleviating the pain symptoms of CRPS-I patients. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying EA’s therapeutic effect are still not well understood. Here, we established the rat chronic post-ischemic pain (CPIP) model to mimic CRPS-I and performed repetitive EA on bilateral hind limbs of the CPIP model rats. We then performed RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) to study the differences in gene expression, gene networks and molecular pathways in ipsilateral DRGs innervating the hind limb of the CPIP model rats with and without repetitive EA treatment. Our results found that repetitive EA treatment significantly alleviated mechanical allodynia in bilateral hind limbs of CPIP model rats. RNA-Seq analysis indicated that EA modulated the expression of multiple genes and gene networks in the DRGs of CPIP model rats. Further bioinformatics analysis identified the up-regulation of an array of genes involved in biological process such as neutrophil chemotaxis and immune response in the DRGs of CPIP model rats after EA treatment. Thus, these results suggest that EA may alleviate pain response in CPIP model rats via regulating multiple genes. Our work may help to further advance the understandings of the molecular mechanisms underlying EA’s therapeutic effects on CRPS-I and help to identify novel targets for CRPS-I treatment

Gene expression profiling of ipsilateral dorsal root ganglia of bone cancer pain in a rat model

Project description:Objectives: This study aimed to identify a set of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in dorsal root ganglions (DRGs) between bone cancer pain (BCP) and sham BCP rats using RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq). Methods: We established a rat BCP model by implanting MRMT-1 cells into the bone marrow cavity of left tibia. RNA-Seq was used to screen related genes. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis were conducted to investigate the bioinformatics functions of DEGs and possible potential pathological mechanisms of BCP. Results: RNA-Seq of ipsilateral DRGs from model rats identified a total of 152 DEGs compared to sBCP rats. The expression changes of four randomly selected DEGs were verified by qPCR. Four significant signaling pathways have been found for BCP including MAPK signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, apelin signaling pathway and oxytocin signaling pathway. Cxcl13 in DRGs was identified as a key player in the BCP model by comparing with published datasets in classic pain models. A core set of genes contributed to BCP mechanism were sorted out by PPI network analysis. Conclusions: These altered mRNAs and signaling pathways might be potential therapeutic targets for BCP treatment, which can guide future research on the molecular mechanism of BCP.

Major differences in transcriptional alterations in dorsal root ganglia between spinal cord injury and peripheral neuropathic pain models

Project description:Chronic, often intractable pain is caused by neuropathic conditions such as peripheral nerve injury (PNI) and spinal cord injury (SCI). These conditions are associated with alterations in gene and protein expression correlated with functional changes in somatosensory neurons having cell bodies in dorsal root ganglia (DRGs). Most studies of DRG transcriptional alterations have utilized PNI models where axotomy-induced changes important for regeneration may overshadow changes that drive neuropathic pain. Both PNI and SCI produce DRG neuron hyperexcitability linked to pain, but contusive SCI produces little peripheral axotomy or peripheral nerve inflammation. Thus, comparison of transcriptional signatures of DRGs across PNI and SCI models may highlight pain-associated transcriptional alterations that don’t depend on peripheral axotomy and associated effects such as peripheral Wallerian degeneration. Data from our rat thoracic SCI experiments were combined with meta-analysis of whole-DRG RNA-seq datasets from prominent rat PNI models. Striking differences were found between transcriptional responses to PNI and SCI, especially in regeneration-associated genes and long noncoding RNAs. Many transcriptomic changes after SCI were also found after corresponding sham surgery, indicating they were caused by injury to surrounding tissue rather than to the spinal cord itself. Another unexpected finding was of few transcriptomic similarities between any rat neuropathic pain model and the only reported transcriptional analysis of human DRGs linked to neuropathic pain. These findings show that DRGs exhibit complex transcriptional responses to central and peripheral neural and tissue injury. Although few genes in DRG cells show similar changes in gene expression across all these painful conditions, the few widely shared transcriptional alterations promise novel insights into fundamental mechanisms within DRGs that can drive neuropathic pain.

Arraystar lncRNA and mRNA array data for dorsal root ganglia neurons of mice

Project description:Nerve injury induces long-lasting pathological pain, namely neuropathic pain (NP), which is dysfunction of the whole pain transmission process, including dorsal root ganglia (DRG) in peripheral nerve system (PNS). Melatonin is well known over a long period of time as hormone of circadian rhythm closely related with the various aspects of pain conditions. Melatonin and melatonin related receptors (MTR1A and MTR1B) exerted amazing analgesic effect in many acute and chronic pain experimental studies, including electrically induced pain, thermally induced pain, mechanical induction of pain and chemical induction of pain. However, the anti-nociceptive action of melatonin in NP is still controversial and unclear. In the present study, our research firstly demonstrated the expression of melatonin receptors in the DRGs, and what more interesting is that MTR1A and MTR1B have a completely different cell type location (MTR1A in the satellite cells and MTR1B in the neurons). In order to get a basic glance at the effects of melatonin and MTR1B on the DRG neurons, a microarray analysis is applied to screen the pain related different expression genes in the primary DRGs cultured neurons with treatment of 1mM melatonin, 100μM MTR1B agonist 8-M-PDOT or vehicle (1% ethanol of normal saline). Subsequent examination was performed, and the finding suggested that melatonin suppressed neuropathic pain via MTR1B dependent and independent pathways in dorsal root ganglia neurons. And MTR1B in DRG may be a potential therapeutic target for NP.

Satellite glial GPR37L1 and its ligand maresin 1 regulate potassium channel signaling and pain homeostasis.

Project description:G protein-coupled receptor 37-like 1 (GPR37L1) is an orphan GPCR, and its function remains largely unknown. Here we report that Gpr37l1 and GPR37L1 are among the most highly expressed GPCR transcripts in mouse and human dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) and are selectively expressed in satellite glial cells (SGCs). Peripheral neuropathy following PTX-induced pain resulted in a downregulation of GPR37L1 plasma membrane expression in DRGs. Transgenic mice with Gpr37l1 deficiency exhibited impaired resolution of neuropathic pain symptoms following PTX-induced pain, whereas overexpression of Gpr37l1 in mouse DRGs reversed pain. GPR37L1 regulates the surface expression and function of these potassium channels. Thus, GPR37L1 in SGCs offers a new target for neuropathy protection and pain control.

NIS-lncRNA promotes neuropathic pain by increasing Ccl2 expression

Project description:Maladaptive changes of nerve injury–associated genes in dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) are critical for neuropathic pain genesis. Emerging evidence supports the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in regulating gene transcription. Here we identified a conserved lncRNA, named nerve injury–specific lncRNA (NIS-lncRNA) for its upregulation in injured DRGs exclusively in response to nerve injury. This upregulation was triggered by nerve injury–induced increase in DRG ELF1, a transcription factor that bound to the NIS-lncRNA promoter. Blocking this upregulation attenuated nerve injury–induced CCL2 increase in injured DRGs and nociceptive hypersensitivity during the development and maintenance periods of neuropathic pain. Mimicking NIS-lncRNA upregulation elevated CCL2 expression, increased CCL2-mediated excitability in DRG neurons, and produced neuropathic pain symptoms. Mechanistically, NIS-lncRNA recruited more binding of the RNA-interacting protein FUS to the Ccl2 promoter and augmented Ccl2 transcription in injured DRGs. Thus, NIS-lncRNA participates in neuropathic pain likely by promoting FUS-triggered DRG Ccl2 expression and may be a potential target in neuropathic pain management.

Ventral hippocampal CA1 modulates pain behaviors in mice with peripheral inflammation

Project description:Chronic pain is one of the most significant and costly medical problems throughout the world. Recent evidence has confirmed the hippocampus as an active modulator of pain chronicity but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly defined. By means of in vivo electrophysiology together with chemogenetic and optogenetic manipulations in freely behaving mice, we identified a neural ensemble in the ventral hippocampal CA1 (vCA1) that showed inhibitory responses to noxious external stimuli, but not to innocuous stimuli. Following peripheral inflammation, this neuronal ensemble became responsive to innocuous stimuli and causally contributed to sensory hypersensitivity in inflammatory animals. Mimicking this inhibition of vCA1 neurons using chemogenetics in naïve mice induced chronic pain-like behavioral changes, whereas activating these vCA1 neurons in mice with chronic peripheral inflammation resulted in a striking reduction of pain-related behaviors. Pathway-specific manipulation of vCA1 projections to the basolateral amygdala (BLA) and infralimbic cortex (IL) showed that these pathways were differentially involved in pain modulation at different temporal stages of chronic inflammatory pain. These results confirm a crucial role of the ventral hippocampus and its circuits in modulating the development of chronic pain in mice.
