| contents | The role of spinal neurons targeted by corticospinal neurons in central poststroke neuropathic pain Fenqqi Fan Tianze Yin Biwu Wu Jiajun Zheng Jiaojiao Deng Gang Wu Shukun Hu CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics AbstractBackgroundCentral poststroke pain (CPSP) is one of the primary sequelae following stroke, yet its underlying mechanisms are poorly understood.MethodsBy lesioning the lateral thalamic nuclei, we first established a CPSP model that exhibits mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity. Innocuous mechanical stimuli following the thalamic lesion evoked robust neural activation in somatosensory corticospinal neurons (CSNs), as well as in the deep dorsal horn, where low threshold mechanosensory afferents terminate. In this study, we used viral‐based mapping and intersectional functional manipulations to decipher the role of somatosensory CSNs and their spinal targets in the CPSP pathophysiology.ResultsWe first mapped the post‐synaptic spinal targets of lumbar innervating CSNs using an anterograde trans‐synaptic AAV1‐based strategy and showed these spinal interneurons were activated by innocuous tactile stimuli post‐thalamic lesion. Functionally, tetanus toxin‐based chronic inactivation of spinal neurons targeted by CSNs prevented the development of CPSP. Consistently, transient chemogenetic silencing of these neurons alleviated established mechanical pain hypersensitivity and innocuous tactile stimuli evoked aversion linked to the CPSP. In contrast, chemogenetic activation of these neurons was insufficient to induce robust mechanical allodynia typically observed in the CPSP.ConclusionThe CSNs and their spinal targets are required but insufficient for the establishment of CPSP hypersensitivity. Our study provided novel insights into the neural mechanisms underlying CPSP and potential therapeutic interventions to treat refractory central neuropathic pain conditions. 10.1111/cns.14813 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ |
