Abstract
The oxidant sensor transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel expressed by Schwann cells (SCs) has recently been implicated in several models of neuropathic pain in rodents. Here we investigate whether the pro-algesic function of Schwann cell TRPA1 is not limited to mammals by exploring the role of TRPA1 in a model of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in zebrafish larvae.
We used zebrafish larvae and a mouse model to test oxaliplatin-evoked nociceptive behaviours. We also performed a TRPA1 selective silencing in Schwann cells both in zebrafish larvae and mice to study their contribution in oxaliplatin-induced CIPN model.
We found that zebrafish larvae and zebrafish TRPA1 (zTRPA1)-transfected HEK293T cells respond to reactive oxygen species (ROS) with nociceptive behaviours and intracellular calcium increases, respectively. TRPA1 was found to be co-expressed with the Schwann cell marker, SOX10, in zebrafish larvae. Oxaliplatin caused nociceptive behaviours in zebrafish larvae that were attenuated by a TRPA1 antagonist and a ROS scavenger. Oxaliplatin failed to produce mechanical allodynia in mice with Schwann cell TRPA1 selective silencing (Plp1+-Trpa1 mice). Comparable results were observed in zebrafish larvae where TRPA1 selective silencing in Schwann cells, using the specific Schwann cell promoter myelin basic protein (MBP), attenuated oxaliplatin-evoked nociceptive behaviours.
These results indicate that the contribution of the oxidative stress/Schwann cell/TRPA1 pro-allodynic pathway to neuropathic pain models seems to be conserved across the animal kingdom.
