Abstract

Neuronal hyperexcitability in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is considered as one of the most important pathological changes responsible for the chronification of neuropathic pain. However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In the present study, we investigated the possible mechanisms using a rat model of chronic constriction injury (CCI) to the sciatic nerve. We found a substantial decrease in hyperpolarization-activated/cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) currents in layer 5 pyramidal neurons (L5 PNs) in ACC slices, which dramatically increased the excitability of these neurons. This effect could be mimicked in sham slices by activating group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors, and be blocked in CCI slices by inhibiting metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 1 (mGluR1). Next, the inhibition of HCN currents was reversed by a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, followed by a reduced neuronal hyperexcitability. Furthermore, HCN channel subtype 1 (HCN1) level was significantly reduced after CCI, whereas mGluR1 level increased. These changes were mainly observed in L5 of the ACC, where HCN1 and mGluR1 were highly colocalized. For behavioral tests, intra-ACC microinjection of mGluR1-shRNA suppressed the CCI-induced behavioral...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
