156 Chronic Pain: New Molecular Insights into Pain and Treatment

recording studies, the induction of LTD was found to require activation of
the NMDA receptors, mGluR5, and L-VGCCs. Protein phosphatase 1/2A
and endocannabinoid signaling are also critical for the insular LTD
[21,22]. Interestingly, it has been reported that nicotine facilitated LTD in
the insular cortex [23]. More studies are clearly needed for future investigation of insular LTD.
Functional implication for cortical LTD
Considering LTP is important for cortical excitation after peripheral
injury, it is conceivable that ACC and IC LTD may contribute to cortical
inhibition in behavioral animals. LTD may also help to reset enhanced
synaptic transmission. For pain regulation, such resetting effects may
be analgesic in behavioral status, and the loss of LTD may lead to further potentiation of cortical responses. Studies with different types of
animal injury models found that ACC LTD was diminished after injury
(Figure 8). Tail amputation, a potential animal model for the study of
phantom pain, led to loss of LFS-induced LTD in the ACC and IC
[16,21,24]. Similar results were found in animal models of bone cancer
pain and nerve injury [25,26]. In supporting this hypothesis, it has been
reported that restoration of ACC LTD alleviated peripheral pain hypersensitivity [25].
Conclusion
ACC and IC play important roles in pain perception and emotion. Both
LTP and LTD give excitatory synapses in cortical neurons the ability to
store and erase the information. The existence of different forms of LTD
may indicate that they may contribute to various physiological and pathological functions (see Table 1). In case of injuries, the loss of LTD plays
a crucial role in cortical excitation caused by the injury. Postsynaptic
changes are likely the key mechanisms for LTD, although presynaptic
LTD is still possible in these synapses. Restoration of LTD in the cortex
may serve as a new way to reduce chronic pain and related emotional
responses.

Reorganization
Scientists have traced chronic pain to a defect in one enzyme in a
single region of the brain. Could this be a decisive turn in the
battleagainst chronic pain?
Min Zhuo is a neuroscientist at the University of Toronto, who has
been testing potential painkillers on mice with the aim of discovering better treatments for chronic pain. In order to test this, he crimped a nerve in
161

162 Chronic Pain: New Molecular Insights into Pain and Treatment
https://t.me/medicina_free
the legs of mice to induce a chronic pain condition. In a matter of days,
the mice developed many of the symptoms — and even some of the brain
alterations — often seen in people suffering from chronic pain.
Zhuo and his colleagues then sought out different compounds that
could affect the learning that goes on during chronic pain. They focused
on the behavior of neurons in a region of the brain called theanterior cingulate cortex, which shows intense activity in scans of people with chronic
pain. The cingulate cortex contains an abundant amount of an enzyme
called AC1. Zhuo wondered if the neural learning that leads to chronic
pain was accelerated when levels of the enzyme were high.
As a test, Zhuo’s team genetically engineered mice so that they could
not make enzyme AC1. The animals turned out almost entirely normal.
They could even sense regular types of pain, however when the mice were
subject to the leg crimp procedure, they did not develop chronic pain.
Once Zhuo recognized that AC1 is essential for chronic pain, he
started the hunt for a drug that could interfere with it. He grew cells that
produced enzyme AC1 in culture and then added hundreds of different
compounds, hoping that one would latch on to the enzyme and thus block
its action.Eventually, he and his team found one that did and named it
NB001. When scientists gave an oral dose of NB001 to rats suffering from
chronic pain, the animals were rid of their symptoms in just 45 minutes.
By latching onto AC1, it seems the drug prevented the neuronal activity
that makes chronic pain possible.
NB001 shows a lot of promise as a treatment for chronic pain as it
focuses on the specific pain engine in the cingulate cortex instead of the
entire brain and nervous system. There are also no obvious side effects in
laboratory animals; the rats suffered no harm to their memory or their ability
to learn. Zhuo hopes to launch clinical trials in humans in the near future.
Summary
Investigation of the cortical synapses in in vitro brain slices found that
these sensory synapses in the brain are highly plastic, and such plastic
changes may be long-lasting. In this chapter, we will review the evidence
that supports the long-term plastic changes within the ACC synapses after
periphery injury, from inflammation and nerve injury to amputation. It is
consistently demonstrated that excitatory synaptic transmission in the layer

https://t.me/medicina_free
II-II synapses is significantly enhanced after peripheral injury, and such
enhancement is long-lasting. Long-term potentiation of excitatory synaptic
transmission within the ACC likely contributes to cortical sensitization and
subsequent behavioral responses. The use of in vitro brain slice models and
transgenic mice provides useful tools for identifying leading protein targets
involved in the induction and expression of chronic pain.

cortical reorganization
Introduction
The adult human somatosensory cortex is often illustrated with a distorted
human figure in order to outline the somatotopic map. Historically, it was
thought that this figure remained relatively stable in adults. However, studies
over the past 20 years have dramatically changed this perception. Cortical
representations in the mammalian brain are dynamic and can be modified by
experience [1,2]. Not only do plastic changes occur in adults but they can
also happen on a rapid time scale (from a few minutes to several hours). It
has been proposed that use-dependent changes in synaptic strength, such as
LTP and LTD, may serve as key synaptic mechanisms of cortical plasticity.
Cortical reorganization
Cortical reorganization has been reported in the somatosensory cortex of
adult animals after peripheral deafferentation or amputation. Cortical
reorganization acts as an adaptive mechanism during development and
learning, and it could also play a detrimental role in traumatic events, such
as the loss of a limb. It has been demonstrated that cortical reorganization
occurs after limb or digit amputation. After digit amputation, neuronal
terminals invade adjacent cortical areas representing deafferented fingers.
Similarly, human amputees experience phantom limb sensations — otherwise known as phantom pain — and the amount of cortical reorganization
directly correlates with the severity of the phantom pain.
Molecular and cellular mechanisms for cortical reorganization are
still largely unknown. However, recent progress made in animal models of
injury may provide more insight into the molecular and cellular

https://t.me/medicina_free
mechanism for such cortical reorganization [3–5]. In an animal model of
nerve injury, it was reported that activation of the ACC induced by peripheral nerve injury increases the turnover of specific synaptic proteins in a
persistent manner [6]. Neural cell adhesion molecule 1 (NCAM1) is one
of the molecules involved and it mediates spine reorganization and contributes to behavioral sensitization. This study demonstrates a synaptic
mechanism for cortical reorganization and points to potential avenues for
neuropathic pain treatment.
LTP in the ACC after injury
Expression of activity-dependent immediate early genes, such as c-fos
and Egr1, is linked to the induction of late LTP in the hippocampus, and
their expression is commonly used as a marker for LTP in studies of learning and memory [7]. Consistent with the idea that chronic pain is linked
to persistent LTP in the ACC, rodent models of chronic inflammatory
pain, neuropathic pain, bone cancer pain, and chronic visceral pain are all
associated with the activation of different immediate early genes including
c-fos and Egr1 in ACC neurons [8–12] (see Figure 1 for an example after

numbers of c-Fos-, NGFI-A-, and pCREB-immunoreactive cells increased bilaterally after
the amputation (see a summary). AC1 and AC8 contributed to CREB activation following

amputation). In addition, there is evidence of increased neuronal excitability and synaptic potentiation within the ACC. For example, peripheral
digit amputation (an animal model for phantom pain) produces a longlasting enhancement of synaptic responses within the ACC to either local
or peripheral stimulation in vivo [13] (Figure 2). Peripheral nerve block
experiments have demonstrated that peripheral nerve activity is not
required for the maintenance of amputation-induced potentiation of
evoked synaptic responses in the ACC, indicating that synaptic plasticity
in the ACC is maintained by central mechanisms.

ing from the ACC in an anaesthetized rat; animals were maintained in a lightly anaesthetized state by halothane. The recording electrode was placed into the ACC contralateral to
the peripheral stimulation electrode. Amputation (the removal of the third digit of the hind
paw) was performed on the non-stimulated hind paw. During amputation, a higher concentration of halothane was used. (b) Representative traces of EPSPs 5 min before amputation
(Pre) and 115–120 min after (Post) sham treatment or amputation. The latency of sensory
responses was not changed after the amputation, while the EPSP slope was increased.
Amputation of a single digit of the contralateral hind paw (indicated by an arrow) caused
long-lasting enhancement of sensory responses. Sensory responses were not significantly
changed in sham-treated animals. The test stimulation frequency was 0.01 Hz (adapted
from Wei and Zhuo [13]).
