    Neuropathic pain (NPP) is known as a common neurological disease with high incidence rate. The present work focused on the roles of long non-coding RNA urothelial carcinoma antigen 1(LncRNA UCA1) in NPP and the possible underlying mechanism. NPP rat model has been established and the levels of UCA1 NPP as well as the group has been determined by RT-PCR method. Next, NPP rats were treated by UCA1 over-expression plasmid and the behaviors, as well as expression of inflammatory cytokines have been examined. Furthermore, target miRNA of UCA1, miR-135a-5p, has been predicted by bioinformatic method, and further verified with the dual-luciferase reporter assay. Finally, the effects of UCA1/ miR-135a-5p axis have been further evaluated. Expressions of UCA1 were markedly decreased and miR-135a-5p were significantly increased in NPP rats in comparison with the control rats. Over-expression of UCA1 alleviated the inflammatory condition in NPP model by decreasing expression of inflammatory cytokines. miR-135a-5p was confirmed to be a target microRNA of UCA1, and UCA1 may regulate the progress of NPP via targeting miR-135a-5p. UCA1 could regulate NPP via affecting miR-135a-5p expression. Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier B.V.
