Increased TSPO alleviates neuropathic pain by preventing pyroptosis via the AMPK-PGC-1α pathway by Baolong Li, Kaiming Yu, Xiongyao Zhou, Jialu Sun, Le Qi, Weiye Li, Tuo Yang, Weizhen Li, Ningning Wang, Xiaosong Gu, Shusen Cui, Rangjuan Cao

“…Among the factors involved, TSPO (translocator protein) emerged as a key regulator. Our experimental findings showed that TSPO expression was upregulated during neuropathic pain, accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction, specifically manifested as impaired mitochondrial biogenesis, disrupted mitochondrial dynamics (including insufficient expression of mitochondrial biogenesis and fusion-related proteins, as well as significantly increased expression of fission-related proteins), and activation of pyroptosis. …”
