Neuropathic pain (NP) that contributes to the comorbidity between pain and depression is a clinical dilemma. Neuroinflammatory responses are known to have potentially important roles in the initiation of NP and depressive mood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of paeoniflorin (PF) on NP-induced depression-like behaviors by targeting the hippocampal neuroinflammation through the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. We used a murine model of NP caused by unilateral sciatic nerve cuffing (Cuff). PF was injected intraperitoneally once a day for a total of 14 days. Pain and depression-like behavior changes were evaluated via behavioral tests. Pathological changes in the hippocampus of mice were observed by H&E staining. The levels of proinflammatory cytokines in the hippocampus were detected using ELISA. Activated microglia were measured by immunohistochemical staining. The TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway-associated protein expression in the hippocampus was detected by western blotting. We found that the PF could significantly alleviate Cuff-induced hyperalgesia and depressive behaviors, lessen the pathological damage to the hippocampal cell, reduce proinflammatory cytokines levels, and inhibit microglial over-activation. Furthermore, PF downregulated the expression levels of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway-related proteins in the hippocampus. These results indicate that PF is an effective drug for improving the comorbidity between NP and depression.

Drought, salt and cold are the major abiotic stresses that limit the rice production. Identification of the key functional and regulatory genes in the abiotic stress signaling pathways is important for understanding the molecular basis of abiotic stress tolerance. In this study, we investigated the transcriptomes of rice leaves and roots under cold, drought, and salt stresses using the massively parallel signature sequencing (MPSS) and sequencing by synthesis (SBS) technologies. About 1.8 to 2.6 million individual signatures were obtained from the seven abiotic-stressed and control libraries of the japonica cultivar Nipponbare. A total of 102,630 and 1,414,788 distinct signatures were obtained from the MPSS and SBS libraries, respectively. Clustering analysis identified many up- and down-regulated genes specifically and commonly expressed in the cold, drought and salt-treated plant leaves and roots. Data mining revealed the expression patterns of key functional and regulatory genes that were involved in different abiotic stress signaling pathways. Highly conserved cis-regulatory elements in the promoter of the up-regulated genes were identified. Our comprehensive and deep survey of abiotic stress transcriptome of rice has provided candidate genes for further understanding the molecular basis of abiotic stress tolerance in rice.
