We sought to study whether the genes that are enriched in the dorsal spinal cord are regulated during a persistent pain state such as the spinal nerve ligation (SNL) model of neuropathic pain.
Neurogranin has been shown to be phosphorylated by PKCγ, and this phosphorylation is greatly decreased in PKCγ knockout mice, suggesting neurogranin is a PKCγ-specific substrate [ 9 ] . Evidence that strongly suggests the phosphorylation of neurogranin plays an important role in neural plasticity comes from the studies that demonstrated neurogranin knockout mice show essentially the same deficits in behaviors related to learning and memory as that of the PKCγ knockout mice [ 10 ] . Neurogranin is not only a substrate of PKCγ, but also plays a important role in regulating PKC signaling [ 11 ] . Interstingly, PKCγ knockout mice demonstrate reduced neuropathic pain [ 12 ] . Similar to neurogranin, we found that a calmodulin-binding, vesicle-associated, CAM kinase IV-like protein is highly expressed and enriched in the superficial layer of the dorsal spinal cord.
