Neuropathic pain (NP) represents a debilitating and refractory condition. However, the understanding of NP and the current treatment approaches available for its management are limited. Therefore, there is a significant need to address the dearth of effective therapeutic interventions. This study aims to investigate the regulation of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) expression levels by miR-142-5p as a common upstream molecule, and to delve into the mature process of miR-142-5p from the perspective of N-methyladenosine (mA) modification.
