Bone cancer pain (BCP) seriously deteriorates the life quality of patients, but its underlying mechanism is still unclear. Spinal microRNAs might contribute to the development of BCP and the role of microglial activation is controversial. In this study, we established a BCP model by injecting Walker 256 breast carcinoma cells into the tibial intramedullary cavity of rats and significant hyperalgesia was observed in the BCP rats. The lumbar spinal cords were harvested to perform RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), and 31 differentially expressed miRNAs (26 upregulated and 5 downregulated) were identified in the BCP rats. Among them, miR-155-5p was significantly upregulated in the BCP rats. Spinal microglial activation was observed during BCP development. miR-155-5p could be expressed in spinal microglia and was significantly upregulated in microglia treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vitro. Serum/glucocorticoid regulated kinase family member 3 () was predicted to be the possible downstream target of miR-155-5p and this was confirmed using a dual-luciferase reporter assay in vitro. The inhibition of miR-155-5p restored -expression-attenuated microglial activation and alleviated hyperalgesia in the BCP rats. In conclusion, spinal miR-155-5p//microglial activation might play an important role in BCP pathogenesis.

Bone cancer pain (BCP) is one of the most severe complications faced by patients with cancer; however, current pharmacological options are limited. Curcumin has been demonstrated to possess anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties; however, our preliminary research found that the analgesic efficiency of curcumin is not high in BCP. Consequently, curcumin analogs have emerged as a significant focus of our research.

β-Caryophyllene (BCP) is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene found in numerous plant species, including Cannabis sativa. BCP has shown a high safety profile and a wide range of biological functions, including beneficial effects in neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases. Here, we used behavioral, pharmacological, and in-silico docking analyses to investigate the effects and mechanism of action of BCP in Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), the most common inherited cause of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability.

Bone cancer pain (BCP) affects ~70% of patients in advanced stages, primarily due to bone metastasis, presenting a substantial therapeutic challenge. Here, we profile orphan G protein-coupled receptors in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) following tumor infiltration, and observe a notable increase in GPR160 expression. Elevated Gpr160 mRNA and protein levels persist from postoperative day 6 for over 18 days in the affected DRG, predominantly in small-diameter C-fiber type neurons specific to the tibia.

Introduction: Bamboo charcoal powder (BCP) is increasingly used as a food colorant. This study aims to evaluate the effects of BCP consumption on improving high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia.
Methods: Fifty male SD rats were randomly assigned into five groups, with 10 rats in each group: the control group was fed a low-fat diet (LFD); the model control group was fed a high-fat diet (HFD); the low-BCP dose group was fed a HFD and given 2.
