Somatostatin Neurons from Periaqueductal Gray to Medulla Facilitate Neuropathic Pain in Male Mice

Yuehong Zhang et al.

Summary: This study reveals the contribution of somatostatin neurons within the PAG-RVM projections to descending pain facilitation in neuropathic pain and suggests their potential as a therapeutic target. The somatostatin-expressing glutamatergic neurons in the PAG form direct excitatory connections with RVM neurons, and inhibition of this projection alleviates hypersensitivity while activation enhances it.

A New Perspective on the Renin-Angiotensin System

Adrian Martyniak et al.

Summary: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and hypertension is a serious medical issue in both adults and children. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure and electrolyte balance. Recent studies reveal that the RAAS system acts not only through endocrine pathways but also through paracrine, autocrine, and intracrine pathways. The alternative pathways of RAAS, which include components like Ang 1-7 and Mas receptors, have been found to have antihypertensive and cardioprotective effects. Proteolytic enzymes such as angiotensin convertase enzyme type 1 and 2 are also important in the functioning of the RAAS system and serve as therapeutic targets for hypertension. Furthermore, tissue-specific enzymes contribute to the local renin-angiotensin system. The ACE2/ang 1-7/MasR axis shows promising potential for new treatments in hypertension.

Counter-regulatory renin-angiotensin system in hypertension: Review and update in the era of COVID-19 pandemic

Hongyin Chen et al.

Summary: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and disability, with hypertension as the most common risk factor. Excessive activation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is closely related to cardiovascular dysfunction, leading to vascular remodeling and inflammation. The counter-regulatory axis of the RAS, including ACE2 and other components, has been shown to counteract the effects of the overactivated RAS. This review summarizes the complexity and interplay of the counter-regulatory RAS axis in hypertension, with a focus on the role of ACE2 in linking hypertension and COVID-19, and discusses the potential of targeting this axis to prevent and treat hypertension during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Enza Palazzo et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of homo-AMPA on pain control in diabetic neuropathic mice and found that homo-AMPA decreased mechanical allodynia and affected pain-responding neurons. The study also suggested that mGluR8 could be the target of homo-AMPA.

Localization and expression of the Mas-related G-protein coupled receptor member D (MrgD) in the mouse brain

Javad Hami et al.

Summary: Numerous studies have shown evidence of a local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the central nervous system (CNS), with the identification of a novel receptor known as Mas-related G-protein coupled receptor D (MrgD). The distribution pattern of MrgD receptors in the adult mouse brain reveals its presence in specific areas related to reward and limbic functions, suggesting a potential role in processes such as pain perception/modulation, synaptic plasticity, learning, memory, and cognition.

A systematic review on descending serotonergic projections and modulation of spinal nociception in chronic neuropathic pain and after spinal cord stimulation

Lonne Heijmans et al.

Summary: This systematic review explores the involvement of the serotonergic system in modulating pain signaling, with a focus on both healthy adult rodents and those with chronic neuropathic pain. It highlights the role of specific serotonin receptors in inhibiting or facilitating pain modulation, and suggests that targeting these receptors could lead to improved pharmacological or neuromodulatory treatments for neuropathic pain. Additionally, the study identifies the descending serotonergic system as a key target for mechanism-based pain relief, particularly in the context of spinal cord stimulation.
