Role of Spinal Cholecystokinin Octapeptide, Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ, and Hemokinin-1 in Diabetic Allodynia

open access: yesBiomedicines
A complication of diabetes is neuropathic pain, which is difficult to control with medication. We have confirmed that neuropathic pain due to mechanical allodynia in diabetic mice is mediated by a characteristic neuropeptide in the spinal cord.

Efficacy of adding a distal level block to a c2 level greater occipital nerve block under ultrasound guidance in chronic migraine

open access: yesAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2023
Objective: To investigate the benefit of adding a distal level greater occipital nerve (GON) block to the proximal level GON block under ultrasound guidance in patients with chronic migraine (CM) with cutaneous allodynia (CA).

Electroacupuncture Ameliorates Mechanical Allodynia of a Rat Model of CRPS-I via Suppressing NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation in Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn Neurons

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022
Complex regional pain syndrome type-I (CRPS-I) is a chronic neurological disorder that results in severe pain and affects patients' life quality. Conventional therapies usually lack effectiveness.

Elevated Apolipoprotein E Expression in Hippocampal Microglia Drives Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Progression

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In temporal lobe epilepsy, hippocampal APOE is markedly upregulated predominantly in microglia. APOE overexpression in microglia drives TLR4 and cGAS/STING‐dependent neuroinflammation, engages bidirectional crosstalk with neurons and astrocytes, increases neuronal excitability, and perturbs hippocampal lipid metabolism. These findings suggest that APOE‐

Antihyperalgesic Properties of Honokiol in Inflammatory Pain Models by Targeting of NF-κB and Nrf2 Signaling

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
The present study investigates the possible anti-nociceptive effect of intraperitoneal (i.p.) honokiol: a phenolic compound originally isolated from Magnolia officinalis, in acute and chronic inflammatory pain models.

Mechanical Environment Afforded by Engineered Hydrogel Critically Regulates Survival of Neural Stem Cells Transplanted in the Injured Spinal Cord via Piezo1‐Mediated Mechanotransduction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Neural stem cell transplantation shows promise for spinal cord repair, but poor graft survival limits therapeutic efficacy. This study demonstrates that increasing hydrogel stiffness from 10% to 16% concentration significantly enhances transplanted neural stem cell survival through Piezo1‐mediated mechanotransduction, revealing mechanical properties as

Targeted Inhibition of CD74+ Macrophages by Luteolin via CEBPB/P65 Signaling Ameliorates Osteoarthritis Progression

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies CD74⁺ macrophages as key drivers of synovial inflammation in osteoarthritis (OA). The flavonoid luteolin is predicted to inhibit this pathway by blocking Nuclear Factor Kappa‐light‐chain‐enhancer of Activated B cells (NF‐κB) signaling. To enhance delivery, a targeted nanoplatform (MDSPL) is developed.

The Edible Brown Seaweed Ecklonia cava Reduces Hypersensitivity in Postoperative and Neuropathic Pain Models in Rats

open access: yesMolecules, 2014
The current study was designed to investigate whether edible brown seaweed Ecklonia cava extracts exhibits analgesic effects in plantar incision and spared nerve injury (SNI) rats. To evaluate pain-related behavior, we performed the mechanical withdrawal

Mitochondrial CISD1 Modulates Microglial Metabolic Reprogramming to Drive Stress Susceptibility in Mice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
CDGSH iron sulfur domain 1 (CISD1) mitigates oxidative stress by promoting NADH oxidation and Coenzyme Q (CoQ) reduction. Under chronic stress, elevated CISD1 expression in microglia enhances NAD⁺ production, thereby increasing GAPDH activity and glycolytic flux, while reducing ATP synthesis by inhibiting proton transfer from mitochondrial complexes I ...
