The endocannabinoid N-arachidonoyl dopamine is critical for hyperalgesia induced by chronic sleep disruption.
Nature Communications 2023 October 26
Chronic pain is highly prevalent and is linked to a broad range of comorbidities, including sleep disorders. Epidemiological and clinical evidence suggests that chronic sleep disruption (CSD) leads to heightened pain sensitivity, referred to as CSD-induced hyperalgesia. However, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) has unique integrative functions in sensory processing, attention/arousal and sleep spindle generation. We report that the TRN played an important role in CSD-induced hyperalgesia in mice, through its projections to the ventroposterior region of the thalamus. Metabolomics revealed that the level of N-arachidonoyl dopamine (NADA), an endocannabinoid, was decreased in the TRN after CSD. Using a recently developed CB1 receptor (cannabinoid receptor 1) activity sensor with spatiotemporal resolution, CB1 receptor activity in the TRN was found to be decreased after CSD. Moreover, CSD-induced hyperalgesia was attenuated by local NADA administration to the TRN. Taken together, these results suggest that TRN NADA signaling is critical for CSD-induced hyperalgesia.
