Open Access Abstract Introduction The endogenous pain-relieving system depends in part on the regulation of nociceptive signals through binding of opioids to the corresponding opioid receptor. Interfering with the trans-repression effect of downstream regulatory element antagonist modulator DREAM on the transcription of the opioid dynorphin-encoding prodynorphin pdyn gene might enhance pain relief in the periphery. Methods Expression levels were measured in osteoarthritis OA synovial fibroblast-like cells SFLCs n 8 and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells PBMCs from OA patients n 53 and healthy controls n 26 by real-time .
