Abstract:BACKGROUND:
Clinical data demonstrate that chronic use of opioid analgesics increases neuropathic pain in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Therefore, it is important to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of HIV-related chronic pain. In this study, we investigated the role of the transcription factor cMyc, epigenetic writer enhancer of zeste homology 2 (EZH2), and sirtuin 3 (Sirt3) pathway in HIV glycoprotein gp120 with morphine (gp120M)-induced neuropathic pain in rats.
