The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicines, and relates to an application of a Lin28b
gene and an expression product thereof in preparation of a
medicine for preventing or treating
trigeminal nerve injury oral-maxillofacial pain, in particular to a
medicine for preventing or treating suborbital nerve
compression injury. In a
trigeminal nerve injury model, the expression of the Lin28b in trigeminal
ganglion (TG) and the expression of the Lin28b in the spinous tract
nucleus (Sp5) are obviously up-regulated, the expression of the Lin28b in the trigeminal
ganglion (Sp5) is obviously up-regulated, and the expression of the Lin28b in the trigeminal tract
nucleus (Sp5) is obviously up-regulated. By up-regulating the expression of Lin28b or activating the
protein function of Lin28b, the oral and maxillofacial mechanical
hyperalgesia behavior of a model animal can be effectively relieved; the invention provides a siRNA (small interfering ribonucleic acid), shRNA (short hairpin ribonucleic acid),
CRISPR-Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)
gene editing
system, a
specific antibody or a small-molecule inhibitor and the like which take the Lin28b
gene as a target spot, and is used for developing a novel
medicine for treating the stomatomaxillofacial
neuropathic pain.
