Intrathecal lactate dehydrogenase A inhibitors FX11 and oxamate alleviate chronic constriction injury-induced nociceptive sensitization through neuroinflammation and angiogenesis.
Article in The journal of headache and pain, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundNeuropathic pain involves neuroinflammation and upregulation of glycolysis in the central nervous system. Unfortunately, few effective treatments are available for managing this type of pain. The overactivation of lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), an essential enzyme in glycolysis, can cause neuroinflammation and nociception. This study investigated the spinal role of LDHA in neuropathic pain.
methodUsing immunohistochemical analysis, nociceptive behavior, and western blotting, we evaluated the cellular mechanisms of intrathecal administration of LDHA inhibitors, including FX11 and oxamate, in chronic constriction injury (CCI)-induced neuropathic rats.
resultFX11 and oxamate attenuated CCI-induced neuronal LDHA upregulation and nociceptive sensitization. Moreover, CCI-induced neuroinflammation, microglial polarization, and angiogenesis were attenuated by LDHA inhibitors. These inhibitors regulate the TANK binding kinase-1 (TBK1)/hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF-1α) axis, crucial for controlling inflammation and new blood vessel growth. Additionally, CCI-induced nuclear LDHA translocation, as associated with oxidative stress resistance, was attenuated by LDHA inhibitors.
conclusionIn conclusion, LDHA may be a potential therapeutic target for treating neuropathic pain by regulating neuroinflammation and angiogenesis.
