Intradermal miR-16-5p targets Akt3 and reduces RTX-induced postherpetic neuralgia-mimic pain in mice.

The molecular mechanisms of refractory pain in postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) patients are not fully understood. PHN may be related to skin abnormality after herpes zoster induced skin lesions. We previously […]

GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms associated with pain in a chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy cohort.

Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a debilitating condition that is a direct consequence of receiving cancer treatment. The molecular aetiology of CIPN is not well understood, and it is […]

A Meta-Analysis of the Genome-Wide Association Studies on Two Genetically Correlated Phenotypes Suggests Four New Risk Loci for Headaches.

Headache is one of the commonest complaints that doctors need to address in clinical settings. The genetic mechanisms of different types of headache are not well understood while it has […]

Methylation factors as biomarkers of fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a common and intractable chronic musculoskeletal pain syndrome, but its exact underlying mechanisms are unknown. This study sought to identify biomarkers of FM and the underlying molecular […]

Persistent peripheral inflammation and pain induces immediate early gene activation in supraspinal nuclei in rats.

Pain is a public health concern worldwide and can present simultaneously with anxiety and depression. c-Fos is a marker used to identify activated cells in response to various stimuli. Specifically, […]

The genetic basis of endometriosis and comorbidity with other pain and inflammatory conditions.

Endometriosis is a common condition associated with debilitating pelvic pain and infertility. A genome-wide association study meta-analysis, including 60,674 cases and 701,926 controls of European and East Asian descent, identified […]

Long non-coding RNA rhabdomyosarcoma 2-associated transcript contributes to neuropathic pain by recruiting HuR to stabilize DNA methyltransferase 3 alpha mRNA expression in dorsal root ganglion neuron.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as key regulators in multiple human diseases. In particular, the dysfunction of lncRNAs in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) contributes to the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain […]

Identification of sodium- and chloride-sensitive sites in the Slack channel.

The Slack channel (KCNT1, Slo2.2) is a sodium and chloride-activated potassium channel that regulates heart rate and maintains the normal excitability of the nervous system. Despite intense interest in the […]

The Cytidine N-Acetyltransferase NAT10 Participates in Peripheral Nerve Injury-Induced Neuropathic Pain by Stabilizing SYT9 Expression in Primary Sensory Neurons.

RNA N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) modification is increasingly recognized as an important layer of gene regulation; however, the involvement of ac4C in pain regulation has not been studied. Here, we report that […]

Inhibition of NHE1 transport activity and gene transcription in DRG neurons in oxaliplatin-induced painful peripheral neurotoxicity.

Oxaliplatin (OHP)-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (OIPN), one of the major dose-limiting side effects of colorectal cancer treatment, is characterized by both acute and chronic syndromes. Acute exposure to low dose OHP […]
