Abstract

Background and purpose: Annexin‐A1 (ANXA1), a glucocorticoid‐regulated protein, mediates several of the anti‐inflammatory actions of the glucocorticoids. Previous studies demonstrated that ANXA1 is involved in pain modulation. The current study, using ANXA1 knockout mice (ANXA1−/−), is aimed at addressing the site and mechanism of the modulatory action of ANXA1 as well as possible involvement of ANXA1 in mediating the analgesic action of glucocorticoids. Experimental approach: The acetic acid‐induced writhing response was performed in ANXA1−/−and wild‐type (ANXA1+/+) mice with spinal and brain levels of prostaglandin E 2(PGE 2) examined in both genotypes. The effect of the ANXA1 peptomimetic Ac2‐26 as well as methylprednisolone on the writhing response and on spinal cord PGE 2 of ANXA1+/+and ANXA1−/−was compared. The expression of proteins involved in PGE 2 synthesis, cytosolic phospholipase A 2(cPLA 2) and cyclooxygenases (COXs), in the spinal cord of ANXA1+/+and ANXA1−/−was also compared. Key results: ANXA1−/−mice exhibited a significantly greater writhing response and increased spinal cord levels of PGE 2 compared with ANXA1+/+mice. Ac2‐26 produced analgesia and reduced spinal PGE 2 levels in ANXA1+/+and ANXA1−/−mice, whereas methylprednisolone reduced the writhing response and spinal PGE 2 levels in ANXA1+/+, but not in ANXA1−/−mice. The expression of cPLA 2, COX‐1, COX‐2 and COX‐3 in spinal cord tissues was upregulated in ANXA1−/−compared with ANXA1+/+. Conclusions and implications: We conclude that ANXA1 protein modulates nociceptive processing at the spinal level, by reducing synthesis of PGE 2 by modulating cPLA 2 and/or COX activity. The analgesic activity of methylprednisolone is mediated by spinal ANXA1. British Journal of Pharmacology(2008)154, 1135–1142; doi:10.1038/bjp.2008.166; published online 12 May 2008

  • Using an antibody that recognizes the intron-1 sequence, the authors detected an intron-1 retaining protein in rodent CNS tissues.

    “Using an antibody that recognizes the intron-1 sequence, we have also been able to detect an intron-1 retaining protein in rodent CNS tissues [23,43,44] (Figure 3).”

    From Paracetamol (acetaminophen): A familiar drug with an unexplained mechanism of action (2021) · cites this paper as [43]

    The Western blotting section says the authors used an anti-COX-3 antibody, and the Discussion reports detecting COX-3 protein in mouse spinal cord tissue. Our copy does not say that the antibody recognizes an intron-1 sequence or establish that the detected protein retains intron 1. No page number is available for these passages. (LLM, conf=0.84)

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.
