Sex differences define the molecular and cellular phenotypes of pain resolution in dorsal root ganglia

ABSTRACT: Neuropathic pain, affecting 10% of the general population, poses a significant socioeconomic burden that current treatment options cannot sufficiently cover. While pain naturally resolves in some patients, the mechanisms driving this process remain elusive. we hypothesized that pain resolution modulates multicellular interactions of neurons, satellite glial cells (SGCs), and local macrophages within the dorsal root ganglia (DRGs). Therefore, we aimed to identify molecular and cellular processes that characterize ongoing pain resolution. With behavioral tests, we determined a 50% improvement of the pain phenotype to capture ongoing mechanisms of pain resolution. We expect to see dysregulated signaling mediators in the DRG, as well as channels and components influencing hypersensitivity, as well as regulation of an immune and inflammatory phenotype. Comparing the ipsilateral sides during hypersensitvity and pain resolution, we aim to elucidate pathways that characterize the resolution phase. Based on prior knowledge and imaging data, we expected to initially see a strong immune phenotype, with differences between male and female rats during pain resolution, potentially reflecting a difference in pain prevalence between sexes in the clinic. Pathway analysis of the bulk RNA data confirmed an ongoing immune phenotype in female rats as opposed to males. Top regulated factors after CCI, include many mediators such as NPY, VIP, Gal, IL24 and IL6. Biological processes associated with pain resolution included G-protein coupled receptor signaling, synaptic transmission and regulation of the membrane potential.

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.

Exploring salivary peptidomic profiling of feline chronic gingivostomatitis using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and nanoLC-tandem mass spectrometry: Insights into viral infections and histopathology confirmed

Project description:Cats with feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS) have moderate to severe pain. The cause might be related to insufficient immune response to oral antigenic stimulation. Salivary peptidome is an alternative method for investigating inflammatory protein mediators and the pathways involved in oral mucosal immune activation appear to be a promising avenue of research for FCGS therapy.

Nociceptor-immune interactomes reveal insult-specific immune signatures of pain

Project description:Inflammatory pain associated with tissue injury and infection largely results from the heightened sensitivity of the peripheral terminals of nociceptor sensory neurons as a consequence of exposure to inflammatory mediators. Targeting immune-derived inflammatory ligands, such as prostaglandin E2, reduces inflammatory pain, but more effective and safer therapies are needed. However, the diversity of immune cell and sensory neuron types, their ligands, and receptors make it challenging to map the immune mechanisms that contribute to inflammatory pain. We, therefore, used single-cell transcriptomics to explore which specific immune cell types affect the development of pain in diverse inflammatory pain models. We found that both the magnitude of macrophage and neutrophil recruitment and the injury-triggered transcriptional program in Cx3cr1 high and MHCII+ dermal macrophages closely mirror the kinetics of inflammatory pain hypersensitivity. We constructed a comprehensive list of potential cell-cell interactions covering receptors, ligands, and metabolites, and generated injury-specific neuroimmune interactomes based on immune cell and sensory neuron single-cell transcriptomic data. This analysis revealed both interactions common to multiple inflammatory pain models and those specific to a particular condition and uncovered immune mediators not previously identified as pain modulators.

A phenotypic screening platform for chronic pain therapeutics using all-optical electrophysiology

Project description:Chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA) remains an intractable problem with few effective treatment options. New approaches are needed to model the disease biology and to drive discovery of therapeutics. Here, we present an in vitro model of OA pain, where dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons were sensitized by a defined mixture of disease-relevant inflammatory mediators, here called Sensitizing PAin Reagent Composition or SPARC. OA-SPARC components showed synergistic or additive effects when applied in combination and induced pain phenotypes in vivo. To measure the effect of OA-SPARC on neural firing in a scalable format for drug discovery, we used a custom system for high throughput all-optical electrophysiology. This system enabled light-based membrane voltage recordings from hundreds of neurons in parallel with single cell resolution and a throughput of up to 500,000 neurons per day, with patch clamp-like single action potential resolution. A computational framework was developed to construct a multiparameter OA-SPARC neuronal phenotype and to quantitatively assess phenotype reversal by candidate pharmacology with different mechanisms of action. We screened ~3000 approved drugs and mechanistically focused compounds, yielding data from over 1.2 million individual neurons with detailed assessment of both functional OA-SPARC phenotype rescue and orthogonal “off-target” effects. Analysis of confirmed hits revealed diverse potential analgesic mechanisms including well-known ion channel modulators as well as less characterized mechanisms including MEK inhibitors and tyrosine kinase modulators, providing validation of the platform for pain drug discovery.

Gene modulation in acetic acid-induced oral ulcerative mucositis

Project description:To reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying oral ulcerative mucositis-induced pain, we investigated putative pain-associated mediators, pain-related behaviors and gene modulation in a rat oral mucositis model. On day 1 after acetic acid treatment, the mucosal area showed slight redness and swelling but no evidence of ulceration or pain induction. On day 2, oral ulcers were obvious, as was the induction of spontaneous and mechanical pain. In the treated mucosal area, bacterial loading and prostaglandin E2 increased beginning on day 2; no significant changes were observed on day 1. DNA microarray analysis of trigeminal ganglion tissue collected on day 2 identified 32 significantly regulated genes (>1.5-fold change in expression). The up-regulation of the top 3 genes, Hamp (hepcidin antimicrobial peptide), Reg3b (regenerating islet-derived 3Î²) and Serpina3n (serine peptidase inhibitor A3N), was validated through quantitative RT-PCR. Systemic antibiotic pre-treatment did not increase the mRNA levels. Therefore, we conclude that the oral ulcerative mucositis-induced pain is caused by infectious inflammation of the ulcerative area and stimulates anti-bacterial and anti-peptidase gene expressions in sensory neurons. Oral ulcerative mucositis-induced gene expression in trigeminal ganglion tissue was measured. Ten Wistar rats were divided into the following two groups, control, oral ulcerative mucositis (stomatitis). Five rats were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital. A piece of filter paper was soaked in 50% acetic acid diluted with water and placed in the labial fornix region of the inferior incisors of rats for 30 sec. Other five rats received only anesthesia without any treatment were used as a control. On day 2 after acetic acid treatment, oral ulcerative mucositis was obvious and trigeminal ganglion tissues in two groups were collected for DNA microarray analysis.

Expression data from pain model: rat L5 sensory ganglia after local inflammation

Project description:Inflammation plays a role in neuropathic pain conditions as well as in pain induced solely by an inflammatory stimulus. Robust mechanical hyperalgesia and allodynia can be induced by locally inflaming the L5 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) in rat. This model allows investigation of the contribution of inflammation per se to chronic pain conditions. Most previous microarray studies of DRG gene expression have investigated neuropathic pain models involving axon transection. To examine the role of inflammation, we used microarray methods to examine gene expression 3 days after local inflammation of the L5 DRG in rat. We observed significant regulation in a large number of genes (23% of observed transcripts), and examined 221 (3%) with a fold-change of 1.5-fold or more in more detail. Immune-related genes were the largest category in this group and included members of the complement system as well as several pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, these upregulated cytokines had no prior links to peripheral pain in the literature other than through microarray studies, though most had previously described roles in CNS (especially neuroinflammatory conditions) as well as in immune responses. The L5 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) was locally inflamed with zymosan/Incomplete Freund's Adjuvant. DRG were isolated 3 days later. Each sample was RNA extracted from a single DRG. 6 samples from rats with local DRG inflammation were compared with 6 samples from sham-operated rats.

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.
