Cytokine regulation of MMP-9 in peripheral glia: Implications for pathological processes and pain in injured nerve

Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is an extracellular protease that is induced in Schwann cells hours after peripheral nerve injury and controls axonal degeneration and macrophage recruitment to the lesion. Here, we report a robust (90-fold) increase in MMP-9 mRNA within 24 h after rat sciatic nerve crush (1 to 60 days time-course). Using direct injection into a normal sciatic nerve, we identify the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β as potent regulators of MMP-9 expression (Taqman qPCR, zymography). M… Show more

“…Once released, these neuropeptides bind to their receptors on neurons and glia and trigger downstream signaling events leading to central sensitization [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Neuronal activity increases endovanilloid levels during chronic pain conditions, which are synthesized and released on demand [42][43][44][45][46].…”

“…It is likely that peripheral injury-induced neuronal activity releases Calcitonin GeneRelated Peptide (CGRP) and Substance P (SP) from presynaptic nerve terminals and activation of glia influencing the synthesis and release of anandamide and proand anti-inflammatory mediators. Anandamide and inflammatory mediators act retrogradely to modulate synaptic transmission and TRPV1 expression and function, respectively [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Resiniferatoxin (RTX) is an ultrapotent TRPV1 agonist, which activates TRPV1 in an irreversible manner.…”

“…During each 2-minute observation period, scoring was done at 5-s intervals by an investigator who was blinded to the experimental groupings. The spontaneous pain index for each observation period was calculated by multiplying the interval number by the interval score and dividing by the total number of intervals (25 in all/session) (80). The overall pain index for each mouse on each day was obtained by averaging the scores obtained during the 3 observation periods.…”

“…Recently, leptin has emerged as a modulator of inflammation and immune responses in the nervous system. The underlying mechanism is likely to be leptin-stimulated production of inflammatory mediators (8)(9)(10), which are also accepted molecular substrates for neuropathic pain (11)(12)(13). The present study focused on the role of leptin secreted from adipocytes in the PNS in neuropathic pain.…”

“…Here, we show that tactile allodynia induced by partial sciatic nerve ligation is affected in its developmental phase by leptin possibly secreted from adipocytes in the epineurium of the sciatic nerve (SCN). Furthermore, the leptin signaling molecules involved in this regulation include some conventional molecular substrates for allodynia (11)(12)(13) produced by macrophages through activation of the JAK-STAT pathway.…”
