The analgesic effects of pioglitazone in the bone cancer pain rats via regulating the PPARγ/PTEN/mTOR signaling pathway in the spinal dorsal horn.
Abstract
Bone cancer pain (BCP) remains a difficult clinical problem. This study examined whether pioglitazone, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonist, is effective for attenuating BCP, and investigated the interaction between activation of PPARγ and phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted from chromosome 10 (PTEN) / mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signal in the spinal dorsal horn (SDH) of BCP rats.
