Abstract
Background Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy represents a major impairment to the quality of life of cancer patients and is one of the most common dose-limiting adverse effects of cancer treatment. Despite its prevalence, no effective treatment or prevention strategy exists. We have previously provided genetic evidence that the NAD+-dependent deacetylase, SIRT2, protects against cisplatin-induced peripheral neuronal cell death and neuropathy by enhancing nucleotide excision repair. In this study, we aimed to examine whether pharmacologic activation of SIRT2 would provide effective prevention and treatment of cisplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) without compromising tumor cell cytotoxic response to cisplatin. Methods Using von Frey and dynamic hot plate tests, we studied the use of nicotinamide riboside (NR) to prevent and treat CIPN in a mouse model. We also performed cell survival assays to investigate the effect of NAD+ supplementation on cisplatin toxicity in neuronal and cancer cells. Lewis lung carcinoma model was utilized to examine the effect of NR treatment on in vivo cisplatin tumor control. Results We show that NR, an NAD+ precursor and pharmacologic activator of SIRT2, effectively prevents and alleviates CIPN in mice. We present in vitro and in vivo genetic evidence to illustrate the specific dependence on SIRT2 of NR-mediated CIPN mitigation. Importantly, we demonstrate that NAD+ mediates SIRT2-dependent neuroprotection without inhibiting cisplatin cytotoxic activity against cancer cells. NAD+ may, in fact, further sensitize certain cancer cell types to cisplatin. Conclusions Together, our results identify SIRT2-targeted activity of NR as a potential therapy to alleviate CIPN, the debilitating and potentially permanent toxicity.

Caffeine Consumption Influences Lidocaine Action via Pain-Related Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels: An In Vivo Animal Study. Pain Res Manag 2022; 2022:6107292. [PMID: 35027984 PMCID: PMC8752303 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6107292] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Accepted: 12/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Several factors might influence the duration and efficiency of local anesthesia. This study investigates the effect of habitual caffeine intake on lidocaine action and explores the potential involvement of voltage-gated sodium channels in the interaction effect. Wistar rats were divided into four groups: (i) control (Ctrl), (ii) lidocaine intraplantar injection (LIDO), (iii) habitual caffeine intake (CAF), and (iv) lidocaine intraplantar injection and habitual caffeine intake (LIDO + CAF). Behavioral assessments, consisting of a paw pressure test for mechanical pressure sensation and a paw withdrawal latency test for thermal pain sensation, were performed at 0, 30, 60, and 90 minutes following lidocaine injection and after 10, 11, and 12 weeks of CAF intake. Pressure sensation was significantly reduced in the LIDO + CAF group compared with the control group. Moreover, the LIDO + CAF group exhibited reduced sensation compared to LIDO alone group. The LIDO + CAF combination exerted a synergistic effect at 30 and 60 minutes compared with the control. This synergistic effect was noted at 60 minutes (11 weeks of CAF intake) and at 30 minutes (12 weeks of CAF intake) compared with LIDO alone. Augmented thermal pain-relieving effects were observed in the LIDO + CAF group at all weeks compared to the control group and at 10 weeks compared to LIDO alone group. The molecular analysis of dorsal root ganglia suggested that CAF upregulated the mRNA expression of the Nav1.3, Nav1.7, and Nav1.8 sodium channel subtypes. Chronic caffeine consumption potentiates the local anesthetic action of lidocaine in an experimental animal model through mechanisms that involve the upregulation of voltage-gated sodium channels in the dorsal root ganglia.

Abstract
Opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH) occurs when opioids paradoxically enhance the pain they are prescribed to ameliorate. To address a lack of perioperative awareness, we present an educational review of clinically relevant aspects of the disorder. Although the mechanisms of OIH are thought to primarily involve medullary descending pathways, it is likely multifactorial with several relevant therapeutic targets. We provide a suggested clinical definition and directions for clinical differentiation of OIH from other diagnoses, as this may be confusing but is germane to appropriate management. Finally, we discuss prevention including patient education and analgesic management choices. As prevention may serve as the best treatment, patient risk factors, opioid mitigation, and both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic strategies are discussed.

Abstract
Platinum-based chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common causes of dose reduction and discontinuation of life-saving chemotherapy in cancer treatment; it often causes permanent impairment of quality of life in cancer patients. The mechanisms that underlie this neuropathy are not defined, and effective treatment and prevention measures are not available. Here, we demonstrate that SIRT2 protected mice against cisplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). SIRT2 accumulated in the nuclei of dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons and prevented neuronal cell death following cisplatin treatment. Mechanistically, SIRT2, an NAD+-dependent deacetylase, protected neurons from cisplatin cytotoxicity by promoting transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) of cisplatin-induced DNA cross-links. Consistent with this mechanism, pharmacological inhibition of NER using spironolactone abolished SIRT2-mediated TC-NER activity in differentiated neuronal cells and protection of neurons from cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity and CIPN in mice. Importantly, SIRT2's protective effects were not evident in lung cancer cells in vitro or in tumors in vivo. Taken together, our results identified SIRT2's function in the NER pathway as a key underlying mechanism of preventing CIPN, warranting future investigation of SIRT2 activation-mediated neuroprotection during platinum-based cancer treatment.

Abstract
Nociception is an important protective mechanism. The Hargreaves method, which involves measuring withdrawal latency following thermal stimulation to Thermal nociception using a modified Hargreaves method in primates and humans the paw, is commonly used to measure pain thresholds in rodents. We modified this technique to measure pain thresholds in monkeys and humans. The modified Hargreaves method was used to quantitate pain sensitivity in eight normal rhesus monkeys, 55 human volunteers, and 12 patients with spinal cord or cauda equina lesions. Thermal stimulation was delivered at 80% of maximum output, and the duration of the stimulation was set at a maximum of 10 seconds to avoid skin injury. The following withdrawal latencies were recorded: 2.7 ± 0.12 seconds in volunteers and 3.4 ± 0.35 seconds in neurologically intact monkeys (p>0.05). Patients with spinal cord or cauda equina lesions showed significantly increased latencies (p<0.001). The modified Hargreaves technique is a safe and reliable method that can provide a validated measure of physiological pain sensation.

Abstract
Painful neuropathy, like the other complications of diabetes, is a growing healthcare concern. Unfortunately, current treatments are of variable efficacy and do not target underlying pathogenic mechanisms, in part because these mechanisms are not well defined. Rat and mouse models of type 1 diabetes are frequently used to study diabetic neuropathy, with rats in particular being consistently reported to show allodynia and hyperalgesia. Models of type 2 diabetes are being used with increasing frequency, but the current literature on the progression of indices of neuropathic pain is variable and relatively few therapeutics have yet been developed in these models. While evidence for spontaneous pain in rodent models is sparse, measures of evoked mechanical, thermal and chemical pain can provide insight into the pathogenesis of the condition. The stocking and glove distribution of pain tantalizingly suggests that the generator site of neuropathic pain is found within the peripheral nervous system. However, emerging evidence demonstrates that amplification in the spinal cord, via spinal disinhibition and neuroinflammation, and also in the brain, via enhanced thalamic activity or decreased cortical inhibition, likely contribute to the pathogenesis of painful diabetic neuropathy. Several potential therapeutic strategies have emerged from preclinical studies, including prophylactic treatments that intervene against underlying mechanisms of disease, treatments that prevent gains of nociceptive function, treatments that suppress enhancements of nociceptive function, and treatments that impede normal nociceptive mechanisms. Ongoing challenges include unraveling the complexity of underlying pathogenic mechanisms, addressing the potential disconnect between the perceived location of pain and the actual pain generator and amplifier sites, and finding ways to identify which mechanisms operate in specific patients to allow rational and individualized choice of targeted therapies.

Abstract
Neuropathic pain results in considerable trouble to people's physical and mental health. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying its occurrence and development remain unclear. A large number of experiments show that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a major role in the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain and neuroinflammation resulting from nerve injury. Among various miRNAs, microRNA-221 (miR-221) overexpression has been reported in a chronic constrictive injury (CCI)-induced rat model of neuropathic pain. However, the role of miR-221 in the regulation of neuropathic pain is unknown. In this study, we investigated the potential role and underlying mechanism of miR-221 in regulating neuropathic pain. Our findings show that miR-221 is overexpressed in the spinal cord and the isolated microglia of CCI rats. Intrathecal injection of a miR-221 inhibitor attenuated CCI-induced mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia, and reduced proinflammatory cytokine expression, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 in CCI rats. Using a dual-luciferase reporter assay, we show that suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1), an important regulator of inflammation, is a direct target of miR-221. Treatment with the miR-221 inhibitor significantly inhibited the expression of SOCS1. Furthermore, the miR-221 inhibitor markedly suppressed the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) signaling pathway. Knockdown of SOCS1 in CCI rats abrogated the inhibitory effect of the miR-221 inhibitor on CCI-induced neuropathic pain and the NF-κB and p38 MAPK signaling pathways. Together, these results suggest that inhibition of miR-221 alleviates neuropathic pain and neuroinflammation through increasing SOCS1 and by inhibiting the NF-κB and p38 MAPK signaling pathways, indicating that miR-221 may be a promising molecular target for the treatment of neuropathic pain.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of intra-articular levobupivacaine on rabbit knee articular cartilage and certain biochemical parameters in the blood. A total of 24 New Zealand rabbits were included to study. Blood sampling was carried out in all animals on the first day, then the subjects were randomly allocated either to the control group (Group C, n = 9) or to the levobupivacaine group (Group L, n = 15). Group C underwent each two intra-articular injections of saline, 0.25 mL into the right knee and 0.50 mL into the left one. Group L was injected 0.25 mL (1.25 mg) of levobupivacaine into the right knee and 0.50 mL (2.5 mg) into the left one. The groups were divided randomly into three. Tissue and blood samples for histologic and biochemical examination were collected from Groups C1 and L1 on the first, C2 and L2 on the second, and C3 and L3 on the tenth day of the study. Interleukin-1β (IL-1 β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were analyzed. No statistically significant differences could be detected when comparing either left or right joints within the same groups and with Group C and L (P > 0.05). Significant elevations of biochemical parameters were found in Group C. It is concluded that levobupivacaine does not lead to significant histologic changes in rabbit articular cartilage. Significant elevations of biochemical parameters being generally found in the C Group, it is thought that such elevations are not linked to levobupivacaine. Intra-articular levobupivacaine may be a safe alternative for use in post-operative analgesia.
