BackgroundBlocking increased expression of nerve injury-specific long non-coding RNA (NIS-lncRNA) in injured dorsal root ganglia (DRG) through DRG microinjection ofNIS-lncRNAsmall hairpin interfering RNA or generation ofNIS-lncRNAknockdown mice mitigates neuropathic pain. However, these strategies are impractical in the clinic. This study employed a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved antisense oligonucleotides strategy to examine the effect ofNIS-lncRNAASOs on neuropathic pain.MethodsEffects of intrathecal injection ofNIS-lncRNAantisense oligonucleotides on day 7 or 14 after chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve, fourth lumbar (L4) spinal nerve ligation, or intraperitoneal injection of paclitaxel or streptozotocin on the expression of DRGNIS-lncRNAand C–C chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2, anNIS-lncRNAdownstream target) and nociceptive hypersensitivity were examined. We also assessed whetherNIS-lncRNAantisense oligonucleotides produced cellular toxicity.ResultsIntrathecalNIS-lncRNAantisense oligonucleotides attenuated CCI-induced mechanical allodynia, heat hyperalgesia, cold hyperalgesia, and ongoing nociceptive responses, without changing basal or acute nociceptive responses and locomotor function. IntrathecalNIS-lncRNAantisense oligonucleotides also blocked CCI-induced increases inNIS-lncRNAand CCL2 in the ipsilateral L3 and L4 DRG and hyperactivities of neurones and astrocytes in the ipsilateral L3 and L4 spinal cord dorsal horn. Similar results were found in antisense oligonucleotides-treated mice after spinal nerve ligation or intraperitoneal injection of paclitaxel or streptozotocin. Normal morphologic structure and no cell loss were observed in the DRG and spinal cord of antisense oligonucleotides-treated mice.ConclusionThese findings further validate the role ofNIS-lncRNAin trauma-, chemotherapy-, or diabetes-induced neuropathic pain and demonstrate potential clinical application ofNIS-lncRNAantisense oligonucleotides for neuropathic pain management.
