Title |
4E-BP1-dependent translation in nociceptors controls mechanical hypersensitivity via TRIM32/type I interferon signaling |
Organism |
Mus musculus |
Experiment type |
Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing

Summary |
Activation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) contributes to the development of chronic pain. However, the specific mechanisms by which mTORC1 causes hypersensitivity remain elusive. The eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) is a key mTORC1 downstream effector that represses translation initiation. Here we show that nociceptor-specific deletion of 4E-BP1, mimicking activation of mTORC1-dependent translation, is sufficient to cause mechanical hypersensitivity.

Overall design |
Using the translating ribosome affinity purification in nociceptors lacking 4E-BP1, we identified a pronounced translational upregulation of TRIM32, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that promotes interferon signalling. Downregulation of TRIM32 in nociceptors or blocking type I interferon signaling reversed the mechanical hypersensitivity in mice lacking 4E-BP1. Furthermore, nociceptor-specific ablation of TRIM32 alleviated mechanical hypersensitivity caused by tissue inflammation. These results show that mTORC1 in nociceptors promotes hypersensitivity via 4E-BP1-dependent upregulation of TRIM32/interferon signaling and identify TRIM32 as a new therapeutic target in inflammatory pain.
