项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project investigates peripheral neural mechanisms that underlie the development of mechanical hyperalgesia; a prominent clinical feature associated with persistent muscle pain conditions. We have previously shown that peripherally localized NMDA receptor (NMDAR) and metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) are important components in evoking acute muscle nociception as well as mechanical hyperalgesia. Several members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family, particularly TRPV1 and TRPA1, also play an essential role in the development of mechanical hypersensitivity under various pain conditions. Since activation of peripheral glutamate receptors invokes various intracellular signaling cascades leading to nociceptor sensitization, and both TRPV1 and TRPA1 are suggested to function as 'inflammatory signal integrators', we propose that NMDAR/mGluR5 and TRPV1/TRPA1 functionally interact and that activation of NMDAR/mGluR5 leads to TRPV1/TRPA1-dependent mechanical hyperalgesia via multiple intracellular signaling pathways. Aim1 evaluates functional interactions between NMDAR/mGluR5 and TRPV1/TRPA1 with behavioral pharmacology and in vivo RNAi studies, and provides the morphological and biochemical bases for the interactions between the two receptor systems in trigeminal ganglia (TG). Experiments proposed under Aim2 investigate specific intracellular signaling pathways underlying NMDAR/mGluR5 and TRPV1 interactions, and Aim3 examines intracellular signaling mechanisms unique for NMDAR/mGluR5 and TRPA1 interactions. The integrated studies proposed here will provide comprehensive information on novel mechanisms of peripherally mediated mechanical hyperalgesia, and have immediate translational implications in a relatively understudied area of clinical muscle pain conditions, such as temporomandibular disorders.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目研究机械痛觉过敏发生的周围神经机制；与持续性肌肉疼痛相关的一个突出的临床特征。我们之前已经表明，外周定位的 NMDA 受体 (NMDAR) 和代谢型谷氨酸受体 5 (mGluR5) 是诱发急性肌肉伤害感受和机械痛觉过敏的重要组成部分。瞬时受体电位 (TRP) 家族的几个成员，特别是 TRPV1 和 TRPA1，在各种疼痛条件下机械超敏反应的发展中也发挥着重要作用。由于外周谷氨酸受体的激活会引发各种细胞内信号级联反应，导致伤害感受器敏化，并且 TRPV1 和 TRPA1 都被认为充当“炎症信号整合器”，因此我们提出 NMDAR/mGluR5 和 TRPV1/TRPA1 功能上相互作用，并且 NMDAR/TRPA1 的激活mGluR5 通过多种细胞内信号通路导致 TRPV1/TRPA1 依赖性机械痛觉过敏。 Aim1通过行为药理学和体内RNAi研究评估NMDAR/mGluR5和TRPV1/TRPA1之间的功能相互作用，并为三叉神经节（TG）中两个受体系统之间的相互作用提供形态学和生化基础。 Aim2 提出的实验研究了 NMDAR/mGluR5 和 TRPV1 相互作用背后的特定细胞内信号传导途径，而 Aim3 则研究了 NMDAR/mGluR5 和 TRPA1 相互作用独特的细胞内信号传导机制。这里提出的综合研究将提供关于外周介导的机械痛觉过敏的新机制的全面信息，并且对临床肌肉疼痛病症（例如颞下颌疾病）的研究相对较少的领域具有直接的转化意义。
