"it is likely that an elevation of DNA methylation within the Kcna2 gene promotor caused by the increased DNMT3a interferes with the binding of transcription factors and/or serves as docking sites for methyl-CpG-binding domain proteins, resulting in Kcna2 gene silencing in the dorsal horn neurons under CPP-induced bone cancer pain conditions, although the detailed mechanisms remain to be confirmed."

"Although we reported that PCC injection did not alter the expression of Kcna1, Kcna4, Oprd1, Oprm1, Oprk1, Gad1, and Gad2 in dorsal horn, whether the DNMT3a-triggered changes in the expression of these potassium channels in dorsal horn post-PCC will be further examined.In conclusion, the current study demonstrates a DNMT3a-triggered epigenetic mechanism of Kcna2 downregulation in the dorsal horn under bone cancer pain conditions."
