myelin-oligodendrocyte-glycoprotein-(35-55) and propyphenazone

Central neuropathic pain is a common untreated symptom in progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS) and is associated with poor quality of life and interference with patients' daily activities. The neuroinflammation process and mitochondrial dysfunction in the PMS lesions generate reactive species. The transient potential receptor ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) has been identified as one of the major mechanisms that contribute to neuropathic pain signaling and can be activated by reactive compounds. Thus, the goal of our study was to evaluate the role of spinal TRPA1 in the central neuropathic pain observed in a PMS model in mice. We used C57BL/6 female mice (20-30 g), and the PMS model was induced by the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) using mouse myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG
