Autofluorescent imprint of chronic constriction nerve injury identified by deep learning
Our understanding of chronic pain and the underlying molecular mechanisms remains limited due to a lack of tools to identify the complex phenomena responsible for exaggerated pain behaviours. Furthermore, currently there is no objective measure of pain with current assessment relying on patient self...

Our understanding of chronic pain and the underlying molecular mechanisms remains limited due to a lack of tools to identify the complex phenomena responsible for exaggerated pain behaviours. Furthermore, currently there is no objective measure of pain with current assessment relying on patient self-scoring. Here, we applied a fully biologically unsupervised technique of hyperspectral autofluorescence imaging to identify a complex signature associated with chronic constriction nerve injury known to cause allodynia. The analysis was carried out using deep learning/artificial intelligence methods. The central element was a deep learning autoencoder we developed to condense the hyperspectral channel images into a four- colour image, such that spinal cord tissue based on nerve injury status could be differentiated from control tissue.This study provides the first validation of hyperspectral imaging as a tool to differentiate tissues from nerve injured vs non-injured mice. The auto-fluorescent signals associated with nerve injury were not diffuse throughout the tissue but formed specific microscopic size regions. Furthermore, we identified a unique fluorescent signal that could differentiate spinal cord tissue isolated from nerve injured male and female animals. The identification of a specific global autofluorescence fingerprint associated with nerve injury and resultant neuropathic pain opens up the exciting opportunity to develop a diagnostic tool for identifying novel contributors to pain in individuals. |
