Abstract
Background Lipoxin A4 (LXA4) has anti-inflammatory and pro-resolutive roles in inflammation. We evaluated the effects and mechanisms of action of LXA4 in titanium dioxide (TiO2) arthritis, a model of prosthesis-induced joint inflammation and pain. Methods Mice were stimulated with TiO2 (3mg) in the knee joint followed by LXA4 (0.1, 1, or 10ng/animal) or vehicle (ethanol 3.2% in saline) administration. Pain-like behavior, inflammation, and dosages were performed to assess the effects of LXA4 in vivo. Results LXA4 reduced mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia, histopathological damage, edema, and recruitment of leukocytes without liver, kidney, or stomach toxicity. LXA4 reduced leukocyte migration and modulated cytokine production. These effects were explained by reduced nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) activation in recruited macrophages. LXA4 improved antioxidant parameters [reduced glutathione (GSH) and 2,2-azino-bis 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate (ABTS) levels, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) mRNA and Nrf2 protein expression], reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) fluorescent detection induced by TiO2 in synovial fluid leukocytes. We observed an increase of lipoxin receptor (ALX/FPR2) in transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1)+ DRG nociceptive neurons upon TiO2 inflammation. LXA4 reduced TiO2-induced TRPV1 mRNA expression and protein detection, as well TRPV1 co-staining with p-NFκB, indicating reduction of neuronal activation. LXA4 down-modulated neuronal activation and response to capsaicin (a TRPV1 agonist) and AITC [a transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) agonist] of DRG neurons. Conclusion LXA4 might target recruited leukocytes and primary afferent nociceptive neurons to exert analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities in a model resembling what is observed in patients with prosthesis inflammation.

Abstract
Arthroplasty is an orthopedic surgical procedure that replaces a dysfunctional joint by an orthopedic prosthesis, thereby restoring joint function. Upon the use of the joint prosthesis, a wearing process begins, which releases components such as titanium dioxide (TiO2) that trigger an immune response in the periprosthetic tissue, leading to arthritis, arthroplasty failure, and the need for revision. Flavonoids belong to a class of natural polyphenolic compounds that possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Hesperidin methyl chalcone's (HMC) analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects have been investigated in some models, but its activity against the arthritis caused by prosthesis-wearing molecules, such as TiO2, has not been investigated. Mice were treated with HMC (100 mg/kg, intraperitoneally (i.p.)) 24 h after intra-articular injection of 3 mg/joint of TiO2, which was used to induce chronic arthritis. HMC inhibited mechanical hyperalgesia, thermal hyperalgesia, joint edema, leukocyte recruitment, and oxidative stress in the knee joint (alterations in gp91phox, GSH, superoxide anion, and lipid peroxidation) and in recruited leukocytes (total reactive oxygen species and GSH); reduced patellar proteoglycan degradation; and decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine production. HMC also reduced the activation of nociceptor-sensory TRPV1+ and TRPA1+ neurons. These effects occurred without renal, hepatic, or gastric damage. Thus, HMC reduces arthritis triggered by TiO2, a component released upon wearing of prosthesis.

Abstract
Pimenta pseudocaryophyllus (Gomes) Landrum is a Brazilian native plant. The mechanisms by which it promotes analgesia are unknown. We demonstrated the analgesic effect of P. pseudocaryophyllus dried extract (3 mg/kg; i.p.) in the following models of inflammatory pain (maximal inhibition): phenyl-p-benzoquinone (89%), formalin (72% - 1st phase and 96% - 2nd phase for flinches, and 50% - 1st phase and 71% - 2nd phase for licking behavior), complete Freund's adjuvant (95% - flinches and 33% - licking behavior), and carrageenin (56% - mechanical and 85% - thermal hyperalgesia) without motor impairment. Its analgesic effect depends on inhibiting neutrophil recruitment (95% - histopathology, 83% - myeloperoxidase activity, and 80% - LysM-eGFP mice), oxidative stress (86% - GSH and 98% - superoxide anion), and cytokine production (35% - IL-33, 80% - TNF-α, and 95% - IL-1β). The present study advances in understanding the analgesic mechanisms of P. pseudocaryophyllus.

Abstract
Scorpionism is a public health burden in Brazil. Tityus bahiensis is responsible for most accidents in the Southeastern region of Brazil. Here, the hyperalgesic mechanisms of Tityus bahiensis venom were investigated, focusing on the role of pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-α] and interleukin 1 beta [IL-1β]) and activation of the transcription factor NFκB. Intraplantar (i.pl.) administration of Tityus bahiensis venom (0.2, 0.6, 1.2 and 2.4 μg/20 μL i.pl.) induced mechanical hyperalgesia and thermal hyperalgesia. The 2.4 μg dose of Tityus bahiensis venom induced overt pain-like behavior and increased myeloperoxidase (MPO) and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) activities, TNF-α and IL-1β levels in the paw tissue. Systemic pre-treatment with etanercept (soluble TNF-α receptor; 10 mg/kg), IL-1ra (IL-1 receptor antagonist; 30 mg/kg) and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC, nuclear factor kappa B [NFκB] inhibitor; 100 mg/kg) inhibited Tityus bahiensis venom-induced mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia, MPO and NAG activity and overt pain-like behavior. These data demonstrate the involvement of TNF-α and IL-1β signaling as well as NFκB activation in Tityus bahiensis venom-induced mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia, overt pain-like behavior, and MPO activity and NAG activity, indicating thus, that targeting these mechanisms might contribute to reducing the pain in this scorpionism.

Abstract
Jararhagin is a hyperalgesic metalloproteinase from Bothrops jararaca venom. In rodents, jararhagin induces nociceptive behaviors that correlate with an increase in peripheral cytokine levels. However, the role of the spinal cord glia in pain processing after peripheral stimulus of jararhagin has not been investigated. Aiming to explore this proposal, mice received intraplantar (i.pl.) injection of jararhagin and the following parameters were evaluated: hyperalgesia, spinal cord TNF-α, IL-1β levels, and CX3CR1, GFAP and p-NFκB activation. The effects of intrathecal (i.t.) injection of TNF-α soluble receptor (etanercept), IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), and inhibitors of NFκB (PDTC), microglia (minocycline) and astrocytes (α-aminoadipate) were investigated. Jararhagin inoculation induced cytokine production (TNF-α and IL-1β) in the spinal cord, which was reduced by treatment with PDTC (40% and 50%, respectively). Jararhagin mechanical hyperalgesia and cytokine production were inhibited by treatment with etanercept (67%), IL-1Ra (60%), PDTC (70%), minocycline (60%) and α-aminoadipate (45%). Furthermore, jararhagin induced an increase in p-NFκB, CX3CR1 and GFAP detection in the spinal cord indicating activation of NFκB, microglia and astrocytes. These results demonstrate for the first time that jararhagin-induced mechanical hyperalgesia is dependent on spinal cord activation of glial cells, consequent NFκB activation, and cytokine production in mice.

Abstract
Pathological pain can be initiated after inflammation and/or peripheral nerve injury. It is a consequence of the pathological functioning of the nervous system rather than only a symptom. In fact, pain is a significant social, health, and economic burden worldwide. Flavonoids are plant derivative compounds easily found in several fruits and vegetables and consumed in the daily food intake. Flavonoids vary in terms of classes, and while structurally unique, they share a basic structure formed by three rings, known as the flavan nucleus. Structural differences can be found in the pattern of substitution in one of these rings. The hydroxyl group (-OH) position in one of the rings determines the mechanisms of action of the flavonoids and reveals a complex multifunctional activity. Flavonoids have been widely used for their antioxidant, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects along with safe preclinical and clinical profiles. In this review, we discuss the preclinical and clinical evidence on the analgesic and anti-inflammatory proprieties of flavonoids. We also focus on how the development of formulations containing flavonoids, along with the understanding of their structure-activity relationship, can be harnessed to identify novel flavonoid-based therapies to treat pathological pain and inflammation.

Abstract
The effect of the lipid-lowering agent probucol in inflammatory hyperalgesia and leukocyte recruitment was evaluated in a model of subacute inflammation by Complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). As CFA induces long-lasting nociception characterized by peripheral and spinal cord inflammation, the anti-inflammatory activity of probucol was assessed at both foci. Probucol at 0.3-3 mg/kg was administrated per oral daily starting 24 h after CFA intraplantar injection. Mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia induced by CFA were determined using an electronic anesthesiometer and hot plate apparatus, respectively. Post-treatment with probucol at 3 mg/kg inhibited CFA-induced hyperalgesia over the course of 7 days as well as paw edema. Overt pain-like behaviors, which were determined by the number of flinches and time spent licking paw immediately following CFA injection, were also reduced by probucol at 3 mg/kg administered as a pre-treatment. To investigate the mechanisms underlying the analgesic effect of probucol, neutrophil recruitment to paw was assessed by myeloperoxidase activity, cytokine production, Cox-2 expression, and NF-κB activation in both paw and spinal cord by ELISA. Iba-1, GFAP, and substance P protein expression and nuclear localization of phosphorylated NF-κB were evaluated in the spinal cord by immunofluorescence. Probucol at 3 mg/kg attenuated neutrophil recruitment, cytokine levels, and NF-κB activation as well microglia and astrocyte activation, and substance P staining in the spinal cord. Taken together, the results suggest that probucol exerts its analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity in an experimental model of persistent inflammation by targeting the NF-κB pathway in peripheral and spinal cord foci.

Abstract
Rutin is a glycone form of the flavonol quercetin and it reduces inflammatory pain in animal models. Therapy with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is known by the pain caused as its main side effect. The effect of rutin and its mechanisms of action were evaluated in a model of hyperalgesia induced by G-CSF in mice. The mechanical hyperalgesia induced by G-CSF was reduced by treatment with rutin in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment with both rutin + morphine or rutin + indomethacin, at doses that are ineffectual per se, significantly reduced the pain caused by G-CSF. The nitric oxide (NO)-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-protein kinase G (PKG)-ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) signaling pathway activation is one of the analgesic mechanisms of rutin. Rutin also reduced the pro-hyperalgesic and increased anti-hyperalgesic cytokine production induced by G-CSF. Furthermore, rutin inhibited the activation of the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain enhancer of activated B cells (NFκB), which might explain the inhibition of the cytokine production. Treatment with rutin upregulated the decreased mRNA expression of the nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) combined with enhancement of the mRNA expression of the Nrf2 downstream target heme oxygenase (HO-1). Intraperitoneal (i.p.) treatment with rutin did not alter the mobilization of neutrophils induced by G-CSF. The analgesia by rutin can be explained by: NO-cGMP-PKG-KATP channel signaling activation, inhibition of NFκB and triggering the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. The present study demonstrates rutin as a promising pharmacological approach to treat the pain induced by G-CSF without impairing its primary therapeutic benefit of mobilizing hematopoietic progenitor cells into the blood.

Abstract
Despite the progress that has occurred in recent years in the development of therapies to treat painful and inflammatory diseases, there is still a need for effective and potent analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs. It has long been known that several types of antioxidants also possess analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, indicating a strong relationship between inflammation and oxidative stress. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of action of anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, as well as essential targets in disease physiopathology, is essential to the development of novel therapeutic strategies. The Nuclear factor-2 erythroid related factor-2 (Nrf2) is a transcription factor that regulates cellular redox status through endogenous antioxidant systems with simultaneous anti-inflammatory activity. This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms and pharmacological actions screened that link analgesic, anti-inflammatory, natural products, and other therapies to Nrf2 as a regulatory system based on emerging evidences from experimental disease models and new clinical trial data.

Abstract
In the present study, the effect and mechanism of action of the flavonoid naringenin were evaluated in superoxide anion donor (KO2)-induced inflammatory pain in mice. Naringenin reduced KO2-induced overt-pain like behavior, mechanical hyperalgesia, and thermal hyperalgesia. The analgesic effect of naringenin depended on the activation of the NO−cGMP−PKG−ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) signaling pathway. Naringenin also reduced KO2-induced neutrophil recruitment (myeloperoxidase activity), tissue oxidative stress, and cytokine production. Furthermore, naringenin downregulated KO2-induced mRNA expression of gp91phox, cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, and preproendothelin-1. Besides, naringenin upregulated KO2-reduced nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) mRNA expression coupled with enhanced heme oxygenase (HO-1) mRNA expression. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that the use of naringenin represents a potential therapeutic approach reducing superoxide anion-driven inflammatory pain. The antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects are mediated via activation of the NO−cGMP−PKG−KATP channel signaling involving the induction of Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Abstract
Naringenin is a flavonoid widely consumed by humans that present anti-inflammatory activity and low toxicity. Recently, the analgesic effect of naringenin has been demonstrated in neuropathic pain models. Herein, we tested the analgesic effects of naringenin in several models of inflammatory pain. Mice received treatment with naringenin (16.7-150 mg/kg, per oral), or with the controls anti-inflammatory drugs indomethacin (5 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) or dipyrone (80 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) prior the inflammatory stimuli injection. For acute pain, we used acetic acid- and PBQ-induced visceral pain (abdominal writhings), and formalin-, capsaicin-, and CFA-induced paw flinching and licking. By using an electronic version of von Frey filaments, we also investigated the effects of naringenin in pain intensity to a mechanical stimulus (mechanical hyperalgesia) after carrageenan, capsaicin, CFA, or PGE2 intraplantar injection. Naringenin (50 mg/kg) reduced acute pain behaviors induced by all tested stimuli, including both phases of formalin test, suggesting a direct nociceptor modulatory effect of this compound besides its anti-inflammatory activity. Accordingly, naringenin also inhibited the increased sensitivity to mechanical stimulus induced by carrageenan, capsaicin, and PGE2. Daily treatment with naringenin during 7 days also reduced CFA-induced mechanical hyperalgesia without gastric or hepatic toxicity. The mechanisms of naringenin involve the inhibition of carrageenan-induced oxidative stress, hyperalgesic cytokines (IL-33, TNF-α, and IL-1β) production and NF-κB activation in the paw skin. Naringenin also activated the analgesic NO-cyclic GMP-PKG-ATP sensitive K(+) channel signaling pathway to inhibit carrageenan-induced mechanical hyperalgesia and neutrophil recruitment. These results suggest that naringenin inhibits both inflammatory pain and neurogenic inflammation.

Abstract
Jararhagin is a hemorrhagic metalloprotease from Bothrops jararaca snake venom. The hyperalgesic mechanisms of jararhagin were investigated focusing on the role of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β) and the transcription factor NFκB. Intraplantar administration of jararhagin (1, 10, 100 and 1000 ng/paw) induced mechanical hyperalgesia, and increased TNF-α levels at 1, 3 and 5 h, and IL-1β levels at 0.5, 1 and 3 h after its injection in the paw tissue. Pre-treatment with morphine (2, 6, 12 μg/paw) inhibited jararhagin-induced mechanical hyperagesia. The systemic or local pre-treatment with etanercept (10 mg/kg and 100 μg/paw) and IL-1ra (30 mg/kg and 100 pg/paw) inhibited jararhagin-induced mechanical hyperalgesia. Co-administration of jararhagin (0.1 ng/paw) and TNF-α (0.1 pg/paw) or jararhagin (0.1 ng/paw) and IL-1β (1 pg/paw) enhanced the mechanical hyperalgesia. The systemic or local pre-treatment with PDTC (NFκB inhibitor; 100 mg/kg and 100 μg/paw) inhibited jararhagin-induced mechanical hyperalgesia as well as PDTC decreased the jararhagin-induced production of TNF-α and IL-1β. Thus, these data demonstrate the involvement of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β and nuclear transcription factor NFκB in jararhagin-induced mechanical hyperalgesia indicating that targeting these mechanisms might contribute to reduce the pain induced by B. jararaca snake venom.

Abstract
Vanillic acid (1) is a flavoring agent found in edible plants and fruits. It is an oxidized form of vanillin. Phenolic compounds form a substantial part of plant foods used as antioxidants with beneficial biological activities. These compounds have received considerable attention because of their role in preventing human diseases. Especially, 1 presents antibacterial, antimicrobial, and chemopreventive effects. However, the mechanisms by which 1 exerts its anti-inflammatory effects in vivo are incompletely understood. Thus, the effect of 1 was evaluated in murine models of inflammatory pain. Treatment with 1 inhibited the overt pain-like behavior induced by acetic acid, phenyl-p-benzoquinone, the second phase of the formalin test, and complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). Treatment with 1 also inhibited carrageenan- and CFA-induced mechanical hyperalgesia, paw edema, myeloperoxidase activity, and N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase activity. The anti-inflammatory mechanisms of 1 involved the inhibition of oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory cytokine production, and NFκB activation in the carrageenan model. The present study demonstrated 1 presents analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects in a wide range of murine inflammation models, and its mechanisms of action involves antioxidant effects and NFκB-related inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokine production.

Abstract
It is currently accepted that superoxide anion (O2•−) is an important mediator in pain and inflammation. The role of
superoxide anion in pain and inflammation has been mainly determined indirectly by
modulating its production and inactivation. Direct evidence using potassium
superoxide (KO2), a superoxide anion donor, demonstrated that it induced
thermal hyperalgesia, as assessed by the Hargreaves method. However, it remains to be
determined whether KO2 is capable of inducing other inflammatory and
nociceptive responses attributed to superoxide anion. Therefore, in the present
study, we investigated the nociceptive and inflammatory effects of KO2.
The KO2-induced inflammatory responses evaluated in mice were: mechanical
hyperalgesia (electronic version of von Frey filaments), thermal hyperalgesia (hot
plate), edema (caliper rule), myeloperoxidase activity (colorimetric assay), overt
pain-like behaviors (flinches, time spent licking and writhing score), leukocyte
recruitment, oxidative stress, and cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA expression (quantitative
PCR). Administration of KO2 induced mechanical hyperalgesia, thermal
hyperalgesia, paw edema, leukocyte recruitment, the writhing response, paw flinching,
and paw licking in a dose-dependent manner. KO2 also induced
time-dependent cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA expression in the paw skin. The nociceptive,
inflammatory, and oxidative stress components of KO2-induced responses
were responsive to morphine (analgesic opioid), quercetin (antioxidant flavonoid),
and/or celecoxib (anti-inflammatory cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor) treatment. In
conclusion, the well-established superoxide anion donor KO2 is a valuable
tool for studying the mechanisms and pharmacological susceptibilities of superoxide
anion-triggered nociceptive and inflammatory responses ranging from mechanical and
thermal hyperalgesia to overt pain-like behaviors, edema, and leukocyte
recruitment.
