This Project Grant award of $372,880 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) is funding research to better understand the role of astrocyte calcium signaling in the development of chronic pain. The key objectives are to: 1) assess how nerve injury activates astrocyte G-protein coupled receptor signaling and store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), 2) determine how SOCE activation drives astrocyte cytokine expression through the calcineurin/NFAT pathway, and 3) define the role of astrocyte gap junctions in propagating injury-induced calcium signals. This research aims to elucidate the astrocyte calcium signaling mechanisms underlying the transition from acute to chronic pain, which could lead to the development of new non-opioid pain therapeutics. The award period is from August 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030 and the work is being conducted by the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc. in Bethesda, Maryland.
