brainstem. Among them, a major descending pathway consists of the
PAG-RVM and spinal cord connections. Many other central nuclei interact with this so-called endogenous analgesia system and produce antinociceptive/analgesic effects. As the last step of relay nuclei, neurons in
several nuclei in the brainstem play an important role in descending inhibition of spinal sensory transmission. In addition to descending inhibition,
descending facilitatory systems from the brainstem or forebrains have also
been characterized. Biphasic modulation of spinal nociceptive transmission from the RVM offers fine regulation of spinal sensory thresholds and
responses. While descending inhibition is primarily involved in regulating
suprathreshold responses to noxious stimuli, descending facilitation
reduces the neuronal threshold to nociceptive stimulation.
In the spinal cord, serotonin receptors are involved in the facilitation
of synaptic responses as well as behavioral reflexes. One synaptic
mechanism for serotonin-mediated facilitation is the recruitment of functional AMPA receptors at pure NMDA receptor-containing synapses.
Postsynaptic G protein-coupled activation of PKC is important for serotonin-produced facilitation. Furthermore, the interaction between AMPA
receptors and the PDZ protein glutamate receptor-interacting protein
(GRIP) likely contributes to the recruitment of functional AMPA responses.
Descending facilitation can be activated under physiological conditions,
and a possible physiological reason for descending facilitation is to
enhance animals’ ability to detect potential dangerous signals in the environment. Indeed, neurons in the RVM not only respond to noxious stimuli
but also show ‘learning’-type changes during repetitive noxious stimuli.
More importantly, RVM neurons can undergo plastic changes during, and
after, tissue injury and inflammation. Descending facilitation is likely
activated after the injury, contributing to secondary hyperalgesia. Blocking
descending facilitation, by lesion of the RVM, or spinal blockade of serotonin receptors, is antinociceptive. The descending facilitatory system
therefore serves as a double-edged sword in the central nervous system.
On one hand, it allows neurons in different parts of the brain to communicate with each other and enhance sensitivity to potentially dangerous
signals; on the other hand, prolonged facilitation of spinal nociceptive

transmission after injury speeds up central plastic changes related to
chronic pain.
Alternative treatment of chronic pain
There are several alternative treatments for chronic pain. These include
acupuncture, electrical stimulation, physical therapy, and rehabilitation
[65]. Most of these alternative treatments employ the techniques of
stimulation of the endogenous analgesic systems or shifting the attention
or focus of pain. They are often effective in controlling acute pain.
However, these techniques do not work well for chronic pain in general.
Considering the plastic changes in endogenous descending modulatory
systems, it is expected that electrical stimulation will not produce any
powerful analgesic effects in patients with chronic pain. Future studies
into the molecular mechanisms of alternative medicines for pain control
are needed.
Potential new drugs targeted at central plasticity
and descending facilitation
Based on recent progress in the understanding of central synaptic modulation and plasticity, the following potential drug targets for chronic pain are
suggested:
(1) only or mostly activated during high-frequency neuronal firing or
injury-related pattern of activity but not resting or physiological
activity,
(2) inhibition of the target or function selectively during chronic but not
acute pain or threshold for physiological pain, e.g., AC1 and AC8,
NMDA NR2B,
(3) inhibition will unlikely affect the established memory and with less
effects on the formation of new experiences in animal models.
(4) target proteins showing unique expression in neurons, especially in
areas related to the pain process,

(5) enhancing the functions of target proteins should selectively enhance
persistent pain with less or no effect on acute pain.
The following is a list of possible candidates suggested based on
recent findings:
Glutamate receptors
NMDA NR2B: Inhibiting NMDA NR2B receptors may affect chronic
pain with fewer side effects.
KA receptors: Blocking function of GluR5 or other KA receptors.
AMPA receptors: Blocking the postsynaptic AMPA traffic triggered by
activity.
Second and third messengers
Adenylyl cyclase AC1 and AC8: Inhibiting calcium-stimulated ACs.
Protein kinases/phosphatases: Blocking calcium-stimulating protein
kinases, such PKA, PKC, and ERK.
Protein–protein interaction: Inhibitors for PDZ93 and PDZ95, AMPA
receptor-related GRIP1/2.
Gene expression: Preventing the injury-related gene expression, such as
Egr1 and CREB.
Neurotrophic factors: BDNF and other trophic factors.
Presynaptic regulation
Regulation of sensory transmitter releases: Inhibiting the plasticity-related
enhancement of transmitter release.
Inhibitory mechanism
GABA/Glycine receptors: Drugs to enhance central inhibitory mechanisms or prevention of central disinhibition due to injury.
Descending facilitation
Serotonin subtype receptors: Drugs to block 5-HT receptor mediating
descending facilitation as well as those activate 5-HT subtype receptors
mediating descending inhibition

Conclusions and future directions
In conclusion, it is clear that we are just beginning to explore the molecular and cellular mechanisms of chronic pain. Due to rapid progress in the
areas of genetics, neuroscience, imaging, and molecular biology, we no
longer need to treat the neuronal circuits involved in the pain as a black
(or gray) box. Instead, future studies will allow us to open the box and
investigate the structures of the boxes at different levels. We will almost
certainly be able to identify new molecular targets for controlling pain in
this exciting exploration.
