Objective: To investigate whether the proinflammatory cytokine MIF participates in the regulation of neuropathic hypersensitivity by interacting with and suppressing the descending dopaminergic system.
Summary: MIF functions as a braking factor in curbing dopaminergic descending inhibition in peripheral nerve injury-induced hypersensitivity by mediating Th gene methylation through G9a/SUV39H1-associated H3K9 methylation.
Usage: Anti-DAT-SAP was injected i.t. or i.c.v. with ISO-1 alone or ISO-1 combined with one of the other regulators on Day 7 post-nerve injury for 14 days, and pain behaviors, including 50% withdrawal threshold, mechanical pressure and thermal withdrawal latency, were observed throughout the 70 days post nerve injury.
