Abstract

Nerve injury-induced maladaptive changes in gene expression in the spinal neurons are essential for neuropathic pain genesis. Circular RNAs (ciRNA) are emerging as key regulators of gene expression. Here, we identified a nervous-system-tissues-specific ciRNA-Kat6 with conservation in humans and mice. We aimed to investigate whether and how spinal dorsal horn ciRNA-Kat6b participates in neuropathic pain.
