Implication of lncRNA MSTRG.81401 in Hippocampal Pyroptosis Induced by P2X7 Receptor in Type 2 Diabetic Rats with Neuropathic Pain Combined with Depression.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common complication of diabetes and is often observed alongside diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) as a comorbidity in diabetic patients. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays an important role in various pathophysiological processes. The P2X7 receptor is responsible for triggering inflammatory responses, such as pyroptosis, linked to pain and depression.

The potential role of CpG oligodeoxynucleotides on diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy mediated by P2Y12 receptor in rat stellate ganglia.

Cardiac autonomic neuropathy has a high prevalence in type 2 diabetes, which increases the risk of cardiovascular system disorders. CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG-ODN), a Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) ligand, has been shown to have cardioprotection and cellular protection. Our previous work showed that P2Y12 in stellate ganglia (SG) is involved in the process of diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy (DCAN).

Central role of purinergic receptors with inflammation in neuropathic pain-related macrophage-SGC-neuron triad.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) acts on P2 purinergic receptors as an extracellular signaling molecule. P2 purinergic receptors include P2X ionotropic receptors and P2Y metabotropic receptors. Satellite glial cells (SGCs) and macrophages express P2X and P2Y receptors.

Imperatorin Improves Obesity-Induced Cardiac Sympathetic Nerve Injury Mediated by P2X4 Receptor in Stellate Sympathetic Ganglion.

Obesity can activate the inflammatory signal pathway, induce in the body a state of chronic inflammation, and increase the excitability of the sympathetic nervous system, which may induce sympathetic neuropathic injury. The stellate sympathetic ganglia (SG) can express the P2X4 receptor, and the abnormal expression of the P2X4 receptor is related to inflammation. Imperatorin (IMP) is a kind of furan coumarin plant which has anti-inflammatory effects.

Beneficial Effects of lncRNA-UC.360+ shRNA on Diabetic Cardiac Sympathetic Damage via NLRP3 Inflammasome-Induced Pyroptosis in Stellate Ganglion.

Hyperglycemia is one of the common symptoms of diabetes, and it produces excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS). This study investigated whether the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) UC.360+ is involved in diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy (DCAN) mediated by NLRP3 inflammasome-induced pyroptosis in the stellate ganglion (SG).
