Satellite glial cells (SGCs) wrapping the primary sensory neurons together compose of unique anatomical and functional sensory units in the DRG. We recently develop a SGC-specific AAV vector (sgcAAV) that is effective in providing SGC-selective transgene expression following intraganglionic sgcAAV delivery in adult rats, and we also developed a microglia-specific AAV vector (mgAAV) by using the promoter of Iba1 gene that is a canonical microglial marker. These glial cell-targeting AAV strategies should prove useful for the development of gene expression systems targeting SGC and microglial signaling for chronic pain. We have also established a dual AAV strategy using two AAV vectors enabling efficient expression of transgenes selectively in neurons versus SGCs.
