Omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as α-linolenic and linoleic acids, are essential fatty acids in mammals, because they cannot be synthesized de novo. However, fat-1 transgenic mice can synthesize omega-3 PUFAs from omega-6 PUFAs without dietary supplementation of omega-3, leading to abundant omega-3 PUFA accumulation in various tissues. In this study, we used fat-1 transgenic mice to investigate the role of omega-3 PUFAs in response to inflammatory pain. A high omega-3 PUFA tissue content attenuated formalin-induced pain sensitivity, microglial activation, inducible nitric oxide synthase expression, and the phosphorylation of NR2B, a subunit of the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. Our findings suggest that elevated omega-3 PUFA levels inhibit NMDA receptor activity in the spinal dorsal horn and modulate inflammatory pain transmission by regulating signal transmission at the spinal dorsal horn, leading to the attenuation of chemically induced inflammatory pain.

<P>In previous studies that have profiled gene expression in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), the expression of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor 3 receptor (G-CSFR) was elevated, as were a number of pain-associated genes. The present study determined the expression of G-CSFR and the mechanisms by which it may affect hypersensitivity, focusing on the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)/transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V 1 (TRPV1) signaling pathway in particular, which is an important mediator of pain. Following L5 spinal nerve ligation (SNL) surgery, the protein and mRNA levels of G-CSFR increased in the ipsilateral spinal dorsal horn when compared with the sham and/or contralateral control. Double immunofluorescence further demonstrated that G-CSFR colocalized with TRPV1 and phosphorylated STAT in the neurons of the spinal dorsal horn. G-CSF treatment led to an increase in G-CSFR and TRPV1 expression and phosphorylation of STAT3. These results indicate that G-CSF-induced G-CSFR expression may activate TRPV1 by promoting phosphorylation of STAT3. Collectively, the results suggest, for the first time, that the expression of G-CSFR in neurons following peripheral nerve injury may be involved in the induction and maintenance of neuropathic pain through the STAT3 and TRPV1 signaling pathway.</P>
