Casein Kinase II Inhibition Reverses Pain Hypersensitivity and Potentiated Spinal N-Methyl-d-aspartate Receptor Activity Caused by Calcineurin Inhibitor

Abstract: Clinically used calcineurin inhibitors, including tacrolimus (FK506) and cyclosporine A, can induce calcineurin inhibitor-induced pain syndrome (CIPS), which is characterized as severe pain and pain hypersensitivity. Increased synaptic N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) activity in the spinal dorsal horn plays a critical role in the development of CIPS. Casein kinase II (CK2), a serine/ threonine protein kinase, can regulate synaptic NMDAR activity in the brain. In this study, we determined whether spinal C… Show more

“…Together with the recent demonstration that calcineurin also critically influenced the phosphorylation of NMDA receptors [2,5] our data indicate that the phosphatase may play a pivotal role in the regulation of the overall activity of ionotropic gluatamate receptors at synapses in the spinal dorsal horn.…”

“…Indeed, systemic administration of FK-506 can cause long-lasting pain hypersensitivity through potentiating NMDAR activity in the spinal dorsal horn . Thus, inhibition of CK2 and NMDAR function may reduce calcineurin inhibitor-induced pain syndrome Hu et al, 2014).…”

“…If CK2 controls NMDAR activity through phosphorylation, then inhibition of endogenous CK2 should prevent the calcineurin inhibitor FK-506 from potentiating the NMDAR activity in the spinal cord Hu et al, 2014). Indeed, concurrent treatment with FK-506 with DRB or TBB abolished the FK-506-induced potentiation of NMDAR-EPSCs in dorsal horn neurons of control rats (Fig.…”

“…The phosphorylation by CK2 of NMDA receptor and other proteins contributes to synaptic plasticity [ 37 ]. Because CK2 is involved in NMDA receptor regulation, and this receptor is required for pain hypersensitivity caused by immunosuppressants such as cyclosporine A, CK2 inhibition may help in reducing immunosuppressant-induced pain hypersensitivity [ 38 ].…”
