Netrin-1 contributes to peripheral nerve injury induced neuropathic pain via regulating phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIa in the spinal cord dorsal horn in mice.
Abstract
The burden of neuropathic pain is growing worldwide. Recent studies recapitulate the requirement for AMPA receptor in excitatory synaptic plasticity underlying pain-related syndromes. Netrin-1 and its receptor deleted in colorectal cancer (DCC) are fundamental for AMPA receptor dependent synaptic transmission. Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIa (Pi4KIIa) mediates post-synaptic insertion of AMPA receptor in neuropathic disorders. This study investigates whether netrin-1 and Pi4KIIa regulate peripheral nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain.
