Abstract

Depression and anxiety can cause the development of chronic pain. However, the mechanism of chronic pain induced by emotional dysfunction is still unknown. Previously, we demonstrated that the G protein-coupled receptor 40/free fatty acid receptor 1 (GPR40/FFAR1) signaling in the brain is related to regulation of both pain and emotion. In the present study, we proved that the role of GPR40/FFAR1 signaling in the development of chronic pain is induced by emotional dysfunction. Repeated social defeat (SD)-stressed mice showed the impairment of social interaction and anxiety behavior. These mice also caused pain prolongation after paw-incision comparison with non-SD mice. This pain prolongation was markedly continued by infusion of the GPR40/FFAR1 antagonist, GW1100 during SD stress but not non-SD stress. Although, infusion of the GW1100 during SD stress did not cause deterioration of the emotional behavior. Furthermore, GW1100-treated SD-mice showed strong tendency of emotional dysfunction after paw incision. Our findings indicate that the dysfunction of fatty acids-GPR40/FFAR1 signaling in the brain underlying stress condition might be related to the development of chronic pain.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 June 2018.
All research outputs
#15,858,647
of 23,566,295 outputs
Outputs from Psychopharmacology
#4,307
of 5,416 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#209,944
of 329,184 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Psychopharmacology
#25
of 37 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,566,295 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,416 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.8. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,184 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 37 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
