Abstract

Following peripheral nerve injury (PNI) microglia proliferates and adopts inflammation that contributes to development and maintenance of neuropathic pain. miRNAs and autophagy are two important factors in the regulation of inflammation. However, little is known about whether miRNAs regulate neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain by controlling autophagy. In the study, we demonstrated that miR‐195 levels were markedly increased in rats subjected to L5 spinal nerve ligation (SNL). Upregulated miR‐195 was also found in spinal microglia of rats with SNL. The overexpression of miR‐195 contributed to lipopolysaccharide‐induced expression of proinflammatory cytokines IL‐1β, TNF‐α, and iNOS in cultured microglia. Upregulated miR‐195 also resulted in increased mechanical and cold hypersensitivity after PNI, whereas miR‐195 inhibition reduced mechanical and cold sensitivity. We further demonstrated that PNI significantly inhibited microglial autophagy activation, whereas miR‐195 inhibitor treatment increased autophagy activation and suppressed neuroinflammation in vivo and in vitro. More important, autophagy inhibition impaired miR‐195 inhibitor‐induced downregulation of neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. Additionally, ATG14 was identified as the functional target of miR‐195. Conclusions: These data demonstrated that miR‐195/autophagy signaling represents a novel pathway regulating neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain, thus offering a new target for therapy of neuropathic pain.

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Autophagy is regulated by distinct mechanisms in different cell types, and these cell type-specific mechanisms underlie the differential vulnerability of separate tissues to autophagy mutations, resulting in heterogeneous manifestations of disease.

    “Furthermore, mounting evidence shows that autophagy is regulated by distinct mechanisms in different cell types [11–26], and these cell type-specific mechanisms underlie the differential vulnerability of separate tissues to autophagy mutations, resulting in heterogenous manifestations of disease.”
  • Remyelination after peripheral nerve injury is hindered by injury-induced upregulation of microRNA Mir195a, which inhibits Atg14 and suppresses Schwann cell autophagy.

    “Remyelination after peripheral nerve injury is hindered by injury-induced upregulation of the microRNA Mir195a, which inhibits Atg14 and, in turn, suppresses Schwann cell autophagy [14,15].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
