Toll-like receptors change morphine-induced antinociception, tolerance and dependence: Studies using male and female TLR and signalling gene KO mice

Jacob H. L. Thomas et al.

Summary: The study found that reducing TLR signaling pathway can enhance acute analgesic effects, but only male TIR8 deficient mice showed less morphine analgesia. TLR2 and TLR4 deficient mice can prevent analgesic tolerance, but MyD88 animals cannot. Withdrawal behaviors are only protected in TLR2(-/-) mice.

A spinal microglia population involved in remitting and relapsing neuropathic pain

Keita Kohno et al.

Summary: This study reveals the role of CD11c-expressing spinal microglia in the remission and recurrence of neuropathic pain. These microglia express IGF1, and interference with IGF1 signaling impairs pain recovery. Depletion of CD11c(+) microglia or interruption of IGF1 signaling leads to relapse in pain hypersensitivity.

Microglia-mediated degradation of perineuronal nets promotes pain

Shannon Tansley et al.

Summary: After peripheral nerve injury, microglia degrade extracellular matrix structures (PNNs) in the spinal cord dorsal horn, enhancing the output of spinal nociceptive circuits and causing pain hypersensitivity.

Acute inflammatory response via neutrophil activation protects against the development of chronic pain

Marc Parisien et al.

Summary: This study investigated the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the transition from acute to chronic low back pain and found that inflammatory responses may play a protective role against the development of chronic pain. Early treatment with steroids or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may provide short-term analgesic effects but could have detrimental effects on long-term outcomes of back pain sufferers.

CD8+ T cell-derived IL-13 increases macrophage IL-10 to resolve neuropathic pain

Susmita K. Singh et al.

Summary: Understanding the internal mechanisms that regulate pain resolution may lead to new treatment targets for chronic pain. The resolution of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) after treatment completion depends on CD8+ T cells and IL-10 produced by other cells.

The Neuroimmunology of Chronic Pain: From Rodents to Humans

Peter M. Grace et al.

Summary: This review emphasizes the recent advances in understanding fundamental neuroimmune signaling mechanisms and therapeutic targets in chronic pain, as well as the new technological developments for studying chronic pain in patient populations. Research has shown that signaling between immune cells, glia, and neurons is crucial for the initiation and maintenance of chronic pain.

Brainstem local microglia induce whisker map plasticity in the thalamus after peripheral nerve injury

Yoshifumi Ueta et al.

Summary: The study identifies the crucial role of region-specific microglia in the brainstem in controlling plasticity of the whisker map in the VPM, with local microglia inducing peripheral nerve injury-induced plasticity in thalamic map organization.

The Relationship Between Androgens and Days per Month of Period Pain, Pelvic Pain, Headache, and TLR4 Responsiveness of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells in Young Women with Dysmenorrhoea

Susan F. Evans et al.

Summary: The study investigated the relationship between the hormonal environment and activation of the immune system in young women with dysmenorrhoea-related pain conditions. The findings consistently showed that low androgen levels were associated with increased pain. Translational implications for the findings were discussed.

Regulatory T-cells inhibit microglia-induced pain hypersensitivity in female mice

Julia A. Kuhn et al.

Summary: The study reveals that intrathecal administration of CSF1 can induce pain behavior in male mice even without injury. Robust immune activation is observed in male microglia but not in females, with preferential expansion of regulatory T-cells in the spinal cord meninges. Treg-mediated suppression of microglial activation contributes to sexual dimorphism in pain contribution from microglia.

Chronic Pain in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Kristen Mathias et al.

Summary: Chronic pain is highly prevalent in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and can be challenging to diagnosis due to potential primary RA-specific inflammation or secondary osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. Treatment for chronic pain in RA includes standard-of-care management for associated conditions, behavioral and psychological treatments, and early, multimodal therapeutic approaches. Early diagnosis and targeted pain control may improve outcomes in this population.

BDNF produced by cerebral microglia promotes cortical plasticity and pain hypersensitivity after peripheral nerve injury

Lianyan Huang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that structural and functional changes in the primary somatosensory cortex caused by peripheral nerve injury in male mice require neuron-microglial signaling, with an up-regulation of BDNF mRNA expression in microglia. Conditional knockout of microglial BDNF prevents nerve injury-induced synaptic remodeling and hyperactivity in the S1, as well as pain hypersensitivity in mice, highlighting the crucial role of cerebral microglial BDNF in somatosensory cortical plasticity and pain hypersensitivity.

Passive transfer of fibromyalgia symptoms from patients to mice

Summary: The antibodies (IgG) from patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) can induce painful hypersensitivities by sensitizing peripheral nociceptive afferents, suggesting that reducing patient IgG levels might be an effective treatment for fibromyalgia.

Peripheral and Central Pathological Mechanisms of Chronic Low Back Pain: A Narrative Review

Wei Li et al.

Summary: Chronic low back pain involves pathophysiological mechanisms of lumbar structures, including sensitization of both peripheral and central systems. Dysfunction in the processing of sensory information in the brain and the pain modulatory system contributes to pain amplification in the central nervous system. Abnormalities in brain biochemical metabolism, activation of glial cells, and inflammation also play significant roles in the development of chronic low back pain.

TRPV1-Targeted Drugs in Development for Human Pain Conditions

Mircea Iftinca et al.

Summary: TRPV1 is a significant channel in pain perception and its agonists are being studied for chronic pain management. While TRPV1 antagonists have limited clinical use due to side effects, capsaicin offers a potential avenue for long-lasting pain relief by defunctionalising nociceptors. The development of TRPV1-targeted drugs could provide a new generation of analgesics for various pain conditions.
