Inhibition of spinal Rac1 attenuates chronic inflammatory pain by regulating the activation of astrocytes.

Abstract

Spinal astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation is an important mechanism for the maintenance of chronic inflammatory pain. Previous studies have investigated that Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1) is closely related to astrocyte activation after central nervous system injury. However, the role of Rac1 in astrocyte activation in chronic inflammatory pain has not been reported.
