The Temporal Changes in Ankle Joint Pathology, Pain and Secondary Osteoporosis in Collagen-Induced Arthritis Rats by Liu Q, Nan N, Li W, Dong M, Pu W, Liu Y, Zhao J, Hao H

“…Additionally, the result showed that repeated open-field tests might reduce the total distance of spontaneous movement.Conclusion: The results suggested that the pain and joint inflammation might not be synchronized, possibly related to post-inflammatory hyperalgesia. CIA model could be used for the study of pain, also relatively stable and suitable for the study of RA with secondary osteoporosis.Keywords: collagen-induced arthritis rats, temporal changes, inflammation, pain, secondary osteoporosis…”

MicroRNA-132 regulates quinolinic acid production in the brain during LPS-induced neuroinflammation by Amir Mohamed Kezai, Amir Mohamed Kezai, Papa Yaya Badiane, Benjamin Hennart, Delphine Allorge, Sabrina Marion, Sébastien S. Hébert, Sébastien S. Hébert

“…Interestingly, KMO expression and activity remained elevated in miR-132/212 knockout mice after post-inflammation resolution. In vitro experiments using BV-2 microglial cells showed that miR-132 overexpression led to downregulation of KMO expression and enzyme activity and reduced QUIN levels without altering the microglial activation status.ConclusionCollectively, these findings suggest that the miR-132/212 cluster functions as a novel modulator of KP metabolism during LPS-induced inflammation, and acts as a potential therapeutic target for controlling neurotoxic QUIN accumulation in neuroinflammatory conditions.…”
