In this study, we examined the integrity of the BSCB and the migration of circulating immune cells into the spinal cord after chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve, which induces neuropathic pain. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first study to report that blocking CXCL10/CXCR3 signaling attenuates the increases in BSCB permeability and T cell infiltration of the spinal cord induced by peripheral nerve injury. Previous studies have indicated that increased BSCB permeability is a prerequisite for immune cell infiltration of the spinal cord during the development of neuropathic pain (41) , and we found that blocking CXCL10/CXCR3 signaling with anti-CXCL10 antibodies reduced the BSCB's permeability to NaFlu, which suggests that CXCL10/CXCR3 signaling plays a critical role in CCI-induced BSCB dysfunction. ./cache/cord-015254-xtox2rxs.txt ./txt/cord-015254-xtox2rxs.txt
