Schwann cell p75NTR sustains persistent pain downstream to NGF through ROS-dependent TRPA1 signaling

Matilde Marini, Alice Papini, Martina Chieca, Elisa Bellantoni, Giovanna Pivotto, Lucrezia Timotei, Gaetano De Siena, Maryam Raeispour, Alexandra Dimitrova, Lorenzo Bonacchi, Gabriele Ferroni, Irene Scuffi, Natália Gabriele Hösch, Sabrina Qader Kudsi, Francesco De Logu, Romina Nassini

The paper identifies a Schwann cell p75NTR-ROS-TRPA1 pathway that sustains persistent pain downstream of NGF, highlighting non-neuronal p75NTR signaling as a therapeutic target.

Triptans reprogram Schwann cells to drive medication-overuse headache via β-glycan/TGF-β3 signaling

Martina Chieca, Matilde Marini, Marta Baragli, Elisa Bellantoni, Lorenzo Bonacchi, Francesco De Cesaris, Cristina Tassorelli, Roberto De Icco, Rosaria Greco, Lucrezia Timotei, Beatrice Pulli, Giuseppe Spinelli, Daniel Souza Monteiro de Araújo, Alice Papini, Gaetano De Siena, , Francesco De Logu

This study identifies Schwann cell 5-HT1B/D signaling as a dual mediator of triptan efficacy and medication-overuse headache via TGF-β3-driven proalgesic pathways.

Targeting the Schwann Cell EP2/cAMP Nanodomain to Block Pain but not Inflammation

Romina Nassini, Lorenzo Landini, Matilde Marini, Martina Chieca, Daniel Souza Monteiro de Araújo, Marco Montini, Pasquale Pensieri, Vittorio Abruzzese, Gaetano De Siena, Jin Zhang, Elisa Bellantoni, Vincenzo DE GIORGI, Antonia Romitelli, Giulia Brancolini, Raquel Tonello, , Pierangelo Geppetti

The paper identifies a druggable EP2 receptor in Schwann cells that encodes PG-mediated persistent inflammatory pain without affecting protective inflammation.
