Cancer‑induced bone pain (CIBP) is characterized as moderate to severe pain that negatively affects the daily functional status and quality of life of patients. When cancer cells metastasize and grow in bone marrow, this activates neuroinflammation in the spinal cord, which plays a vital role in the generation and persistence of chronic pain. In the present study, a model of CIBP was constructed by inoculating of MRMT‑1 rat breast carcinoma cells into the medullary cavity of the tibia in male Sprague‑Dawley rats.

Background: Cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP) is a moderate to severe pain and seriously affects patients' quality of life. Spinal cord plays critical roles in pain generation and maintenance. Identifying differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in spinal cord is essential to elucidate the mechanisms of cancer pain.

Arthritis pain management remains largely inadequate, and developing new treatment strategies are urgently needed. Spinal inflammation and oxidative stress contribute to arthritis pain and represent ideal targets for the treatment of arthritis pain.
