Abstract	Background Neuropathic pain is a common and severely disabling state that affects millions of people worldwide. Microglial activation in the spinal cord plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain. However, the mechanisms underlying spinal microglial activation during neuropathic pain remain incompletely understood. Here, we investigated the role of Dickkopf (DKK) 3 and its interplay with microglial activation in the spinal cord in neuropathic pain. Methods In this study, we investigated the effects of intrathecal injection of recombinant DKK3 (rDKK3) on mechanical allodynia and microglial activation in the spinal cord after spared nerve injury (SNI) in rats by western blot (WB), immunofluorescence (IF), quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results We found that SNI induced a significant decrease in the levels of DKK3, Kremen-1 and Dishevelled-1 (DVL-1) and up-regulated the expression of phosphorylated apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (p-ASK1), phosphorylated c-JUN N-terminal kinase (p-JNK), phosphorylated p38 (p-p38) in the spinal cord. Moreover, our results showed that exogenous intrathecal administration of rDKK3 inhibited expression of p-ASK1, p-JNK, p-p38, promoted the transformation of microglia from M1 type to M2 type, and decreased the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines compared to the rats of SNI + Vehicle. However, these effects were reversed by intrathecal administration of Kremen-1 siRNA or Dishevelled-1 (DVL-1) siRNA. Conclusions These results suggest that DKK3 ameliorates neuropathic pain via inhibiting ASK-1/JNK/p-38-mediated microglia polarization and neuroinflammation, at least partly, by the Kremen-1 and DVL-1 pathways.
