Rationale Depression and anxiety can cause the development of chronic pain. However, the mechanism of chronic pain induced by emotional dysfunction is still unknown. Previously, we demonstrated that the G protein-coupled receptor 40/ free fatty acid receptor 1 (GPR40/FFAR1) signaling in the brain is related to regulation of both pain and emotion. In the present study, we proved that the role of GPR40/FFAR1 signaling in the development of chronic pain is induced by emotional dysfunction. Repeated social defeat (SD)-stressed mice showed the impairment of social interaction and anxiety behavior. These mice also caused pain prolongation after paw-incision comparison with non-SD mice. This pain prolongation was markedly continued by infusion of the GPR40/FFAR1 antagonist, GW1100 during SD stress but not non-SD stress. Although, infusion of the GW1100 during SD stress did not cause deterioration of the emotional behavior. Furthermore, GW1100-treated SD-mice showed strong tendency of emotional dysfunction after paw incision.Our findings indicate that the dysfunction of fatty acids-GPR40/FFAR1 signaling in the brain underlying stress condition might be related to the development of chronic pain.
