Prolonged use of opioids can cause opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH). The impact of alternative splicing on OIH remains partially characterized. A study of the absolute and relative modes of action of alternative splicing further the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying OIH. Differential absolute and relative isoform profiles were detected in the trigeminal ganglia and nucleus accumbens of mice presenting OIH behaviors elicited by chronic morphine administration relative to control mice. Genes that participate in glutamatergic synapse (e.g., Grip1, Grin1, Wnk3), myelin protein processes (e.g., Mbp, Mpz), and axon guidance presented absolute and relative splicing associated with OIH. Splicing of genes in the gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor pathway was detected in the nucleus accumbens while splicing in the vascular endothelial growth factor, endogenous cannabinoid signaling, circadian clock system, and metabotropic glutamate receptor pathways was detected in the trigeminal ganglia. A notable finding was the prevalence of alternatively spliced transcription factors and regulators (e.g., Ciart, Ablim2, Pbx1, Arntl2) in the trigeminal ganglia. Insights into the nociceptive and antinociceptive modulatory action of Hnrnpk were gained. The results from our study highlight the impact of alternative splicing and transcriptional regulators on OIH and expose the need for isoform-level research to advance the understanding of morphine-associated hyperalgesia.

D000075062 Pre-B-Cell Leukemia Transcription Factor 1 A TALE-type homeodomain protein and transcription factor that binds the DNA sequence 5'-ATCAATCAA-3'. It forms a heterodimer with MEIS1 TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR and functions as a transcriptional activator of HOMEOBOX PROTEIN NKX-2.5 and ELONGIN A, and as a transcriptional repressor of CDKN2B PROTEIN, in the regulation of developmental and morphogenetic processes such as spleen and limb development. Chromosome translocations involving the PBX1 and TCF3 genes occur in cases of pre-B-cell ACUTE LYMPHOID LEUKEMIA.
