Previous findings have suggested that inflammation activation in the trigeminal nervous system and circadian rhythms disruption contributed to the chronic migraine (CM). Linking the two critical processes, the involvement of signaling cascade SIRT1/PGC-1α/BMAL1 in CM is suggested. Our objective is to elucidate the important signaling cascade implicated in the CM pathogenesis, hence enhancing the comprehension of the mechanisms underlying CM development. NTG-induced migraine model was established. Thresholds of thermal and mechanical stimulation were examined in sensory sensitivity test, and western blot (WB) of CGRP and c-Fos evaluated CM severity. Co-immunoprecipitation (CoIP) assessed SIRT1 and PGC-1α interaction, while chromatin immunoprecipitation quantitative PCR (ChIP-qPCR) examined their binding rates to the BMAL1 promoter. Additionally, cell transfection and SRT1720 administration were performed to further investigate the regulatory role of the pathway. In the NTG-induced migraine model, inflammation activation and the aberrant expression of circadian rhythm-related genes and hormones were detected. The downregulation of SIRT1 and PGC-1α activity, along with the interactions within the pathway, provided evidence of this pathway plays a role in regulating migraine. The overexpression of SIRT1 through virus injection and SRT1720 administration both demonstrated the effect of alleviating the key link of CM mechanisms, including central sensitization and inflammatory activation in the trigeminal nucleus and circadian rhythms disruption. Moreover, the anti-inflammatory effect was further demonstrated to be mediated by BMAL1 by using shRNA.
先前的研究结果表明,三叉神经系统中的炎症激活和昼夜节律紊乱促成了慢性偏头痛(CM)。将这两个关键过程联系起来,提示信号级联SIRT1/PGC-1α/BMAL1参与了慢性偏头痛。我们的目标是阐明慢性偏头痛发病机制中涉及的重要信号级联,从而加深对慢性偏头痛发展潜在机制的理解。建立了硝酸甘油(NTG)诱导的偏头痛模型。在感觉敏感性测试中检测热刺激和机械刺激的阈值,并通过蛋白免疫印迹(WB)检测降钙素基因相关肽(CGRP)和c-Fos来评估慢性偏头痛的严重程度。免疫共沉淀(CoIP)评估SIRT1和PGC-1α的相互作用,而染色质免疫沉淀定量聚合酶链反应(ChIP-qPCR)检测它们与BMAL1启动子的结合率。此外,进行细胞转染和给予SRT1720以进一步研究该信号通路的调节作用。在NTG诱导的偏头痛模型中,检测到炎症激活以及昼夜节律相关基因和激素的异常表达。SIRT1和PGC-1α活性的下调以及信号通路内的相互作用,证明了该信号通路在调节偏头痛中发挥作用。通过病毒注射和给予SRT1720过表达SIRT1,均显示出减轻慢性偏头痛机制关键环节的作用,包括三叉神经核中的中枢敏化和炎症激活以及昼夜节律紊乱。此外,通过使用短发夹RNA(shRNA)进一步证明抗炎作用是由BMAL1介导的。
