Gene expression profiling of the spinal cord at the chronic pain phase identified CDKL5 as a candidate gene for neural remodeling.
Abstract
Chronic pain is a highly refractory and complicated condition that persists even without nociception. Several genome-wide gene expression analyses have shown that the immune response and inflammatory cytokines affect chronic pain establishment in the acute pain phase. However, compared with the acute phase, the chronic phase has a poorly elucidated gene expression profile. This study aimed to determine the gene expression profile in the spinal cord of a neuropathic pain mouse model in the chronic phase to elucidate the chronic pain characteristics.
