Abstract
Previous studies validate that inhibiting sodium channel 1.8 (Nav1.8) effectively relieves inflammatory and neuropathic pain. However, Nav1.8 blockers have cardiac side effects in addition to analgesic effects. Here, we constructed a spinal differential protein expression profile using Nav1.8 knockout mice to screen common downstream proteins of Nav1.8 in inflammatory and neuropathic pain. We found that aminoacylase 1 (ACY1) expression was increased in wild-type mice compared to Nav1.8 knockout mice in both pain models. Moreover, spinal ACY1 overexpression induced mechanical allodynia in naive mice, while ACY1 suppression alleviated inflammatory and neuropathic pain. Further, ACY1 could interact with sphingosine kinase 1 and promote its membrane translocation, resulting in sphingosine-1-phosphate upregulation and the activation of glutamatergic neurons and astrocytes. In conclusion, ACY1 acts as a common downstream effector protein of Nav1.8 in inflammatory and neuropathic pain and could be a new and precise therapeutic target for chronic pain.

Biallelic Loss of Function Mutation in Sodium Channel Gene SCN10A in an Autism Spectrum Disorder Trio from Pakistan. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13091633. [PMID: 36140801 PMCID: PMC9498319 DOI: 10.3390/genes13091633] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2022] [Revised: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 09/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The genetic dissection of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has uncovered the contribution of de novo mutations in many single genes as well as de novo copy number variants. More recent work also suggests a strong contribution from recessively inherited variants, particularly in populations in which consanguineous marriages are common. What is also becoming more apparent is the degree of pleiotropy, whereby mutations in the same gene may have quite different phenotypic and clinical consequences. We performed whole exome sequencing in a group of 115 trios from countries with a high level of consanguineous marriages. In this paper we report genetic and clinical findings on a proband with ASD, who inherited a biallelic truncating pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant in the gene encoding voltage-gated sodium channel X alpha subunit, SCN10A (NM_006514.2:c.937G>T:(p.Gly313*)). The biallelic pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant in this study have different clinical features than heterozygous mutations in the same gene. The study of consanguineous families for autism spectrum disorder is highly valuable.
