Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants01:22

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

1.2K
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

C4 Pathway and CAM01:27

C4 Pathway and CAM

49.2K
Most plants use the C3 pathway for carbon fixation. However, some plants, such as sugar cane, corn, and cacti that grow in hot conditions, use alternative pathways to fix carbon and conserve energy loss due to photorespiration. Photorespiration is the process that occurs when the oxygen concentration is high. Under such conditions, the rubisco enzyme in the Calvin cycle binds O2 instead of CO2, which halts photosynthesis and consumes energy.
C4 Pathway
The C4 pathway is used by plants such as...

Pain01:20

Pain

1.4K
Pain serves as a critical warning signal that alerts the body to potential or actual harm. When mechanical pressure on the skin is intense, such as from a sharp pinch, the sensation transitions from touch to pain. Similarly, extreme temperatures, like a hot pot handle, convert the sensation of heat into pain. Pain can also result from overstimulation of other senses, such as blinding light, loud noise, or the intense heat from habañero peppers. This ability to sense pain is essential for...

Bone Cells and Tissue01:30

Bone Cells and Tissue

8.3K
Bones contain a relatively small number of cells entrenched in a matrix of organic and inorganic components. Although bone cells compose only a small amount of the bone volume, they are crucial to its function. Four types of cells are found within the bone tissue— osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteogenic cells, and osteoclasts.
Osteoblasts and Osteocytes
The osteoblast is the bone cell responsible for forming new bone tissue. It is found in the growing portions of bone, including the...

Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity01:26

Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity

1.5K
An antigen is any substance the immune system identifies as foreign and potentially harmful to the body, prompting an immune response. Antigens have two functional properties: immunogenicity and reactivity. Immunogenicity is the ability of an antigen to stimulate a specific immune response. At the same time, reactivity describes the antigen's ability to react with the cells and antibodies produced in response to it.
Complete Antigens
Complete antigens possess both immunogenicity and...

Other Glycolytic Pathways01:24

Other Glycolytic Pathways

906
The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) operates in parallel with glycolysis, facilitating the metabolism of both pentoses and glucose. This pathway consists of two distinct phases: the oxidative and non-oxidative phases. While it does not directly generate ATP, the intermediates formed during the process can integrate into glycolysis, contributing to cellular energy metabolism when required.Oxidative Phase: NADPH ProductionThe oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway is primarily...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) reduce pain hypersensitivity by activating the NF-κB pathway in the RVM. Inhibiting NF-κB before BMSC infusion blocks this pain relief, highlighting NF-κB’s role in BMSC-mediated analgesia.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are known to alleviate chronic pain.
  • The rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) is crucial for descending pain modulation.
  • Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) is a key regulator of immune responses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of the NF-κB signaling pathway in BMSC-induced pain relief.
  • To determine if NF-κB activation in the RVM is necessary for BMSC-mediated antihyperalgesia.

Main Methods:

  • BMSCs were infused intravenously into rats with tendon ligation (TL) injury.
  • NF-κB (p65) expression in the RVM was analyzed using Western blot and immunostaining.
  • Chemokine signaling was blocked using shRNA or receptor antagonists.
  • An NF-κB inhibitor (BAY 11-7082) was administered via RVM injection before or after BMSC infusion.

Main Results:

  • BMSC infusion increased NF-κB (p65) levels in the RVM at 1 week post-infusion.
  • Blocking chemokine signaling reduced BMSC-induced NF-κB upregulation.
  • Pre-treatment with the NF-κB inhibitor BAY 11-7082 attenuated BMSC-induced pain relief.
  • Post-treatment with BAY 11-7082 was ineffective, while BAY 11-7082 alone reduced TL-induced hyperalgesia.

Conclusions:

  • NF-κB signaling in the RVM is essential for the initiation of BMSC-produced antihyperalgesia.
  • Chemokine signaling mediates the upregulation of NF-κB by BMSCs.
  • NF-κB has dual roles in pain hypersensitivity and BMSC-mediated pain relief.
