چکیده

Neuropathic pain from nerve injury by trauma, disease or surgery often causes prolonged suffering. To explore the molecular mechanisms that underlie neuropathic pain, we used mRNA from the L4--5 segments of the lumbar spinal cord of rats with chronic constriction injury (CCI)-induced neuropathic pain, and differentially screened a cDNA library from the rat brain. A novel gene, termed RSEP1 (Rat Spinal cord Expression Protein 1), was identified. Northern blots revealed that RSEP1 was expressed mainly in the central nervous system including the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, brainstem and spinal cord, as well as in the kidney and ovary. In situ hybridization showed a high level of RSEP1 expression in the CA1, CA3 and dentate gyrus regions of the hippocampus and the small sensory neurons in the dorsal horn, as well as the large neurons in the ventral horn of the spinal cord. Intrathecal injection of RSEP1 antisense oligonucleotide into the spinal cord lumbar enlargement attenuated neuropathic pain behaviours in CCI rats, suggesting a functional involvement of RSEP1 in neuropathic pain.

تأثیر شش هفته بستن عصب سیاتیک بر بیان ژن داینکتین عصب سیاتیک در موش‌های صحرایی نر نژاد ویستار

    Background & Aims : Axonal transport is a vital process in nervous system that protects axons and nerve terminals through supplying proteins, lipids and mitochondria and clearing folded proteins to avoid toxicity. Recently it is reported that impairment of motor proteins involved in axonal transport-like dynactin is a common factor in several neurodegenerative disorders such as Amyotrophic ...

Antinociceptive effects of maprotiline in a rat model of peripheral neuropathic pain: possible involvement of opioid system

Objective(s): Neuropathic pain remains a clinical problem and is poorly relieved by conventional analgesics. This study was designed to determine whether maprotiline administration was effective in alleviating symptoms of neuropathic pain and whether the antinociceptive effect of maprotiline mediated through the opioid system. Materials and Methods: Neuropathic pain was induced by chronic cons...
