Serotonin 2C receptor alternative splicing in a spinal cord injury model

Abstract

Spinal cord injury can have debilitating consequences, commonly resulting in motor dysfunction below the lesion site and the development of chronic pain syndromes. The serotonin pathway is important for inhibiting noxious stimuli and facilitating motor function after spinal cord injury. The serotonin 2C receptor (5HTR2C) has several characteristic features, and is regulated by the amount of serotonin 2C receptor as well as RNA editing and alternative splicing. In this study, we used a rat model of spinal contusion injury to investigate the relationship between the pain threshold and 5HTR2C alternative splicing. The pain threshold was assessed using mechanical stimulation with von Frey filaments. We then used real-time PCR to examine the RNA levels of 5HTR2C in three sections of the spinal cord: the rostral, injury-core, and caudal positions. On postoperative day 12, the pain threshold in injured rats was significantly reduced compared with sham-operated and naïve rats. The total 5HTR2C levels were significantly lower in injured rats than in naïve rats at all positions, and significantly lower in injured rats compared with sham-operated rats at injury-core and caudal positions. The ratio of exon Vb-skipped nonfunctional 5HTR2C mRNA to total 5HTR2C was significantly higher in injured rats compared with naïve rats at the injury-core and caudal positions, and significantly higher in injured rats compared with sham-operated rats at the caudal position. These results indicate that…

Claims the paper makes

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.

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.
