Currently, no small translational rodent model accurately replicates the peripheral neuropathy observed in PLWH. The primary objectives of this study are to assess whether HIV transgenic (HIV-tg) rats develop peripheral neuropathy with pathological and pain-like behaviors similar to those observed in PLWH and to evaluate the analgesic effects of the non-psychoactive cannabis compounds cannabidiol (CBD) and \u03b2-caryophyllene (BCP) in HIV-related neuropathic pain. Methods: We used a comprehensive set of behavioral, pharmacological, molecular, biochemical, and proteomic approaches. Results: Tissue analyses showed that HIV-tg rats had significantly reduced intra-epidermal nerve fiber density and increased macrophage infiltration in the dorsal root ganglion compared with control wild-type rats. Behavioral assessments demonstrated that HIV-tg rats developed mechanical allodynia and ongoing pain. \u03b2-caryophyllene (BCP) demonstrated higher efficacy than cannabidiol (CBD) in alleviating HIV-related neuropathic pain. Proteomic analysis identified specific proteins uniquely modulated by the analgesic effects of BCP compared to vehicle in HIV-tg rats with peripheral neuropathy and neuropathic pain. Conclusions: The findings indicate that HIV-tg rats develop peripheral neuropathy and neuropathic pain comparable to those observed in PLWH. BCP is more effective than cannabidiol (CBD) in alleviating HIV-related neuropathic pain. Furthermore, the data suggest that BCP modulates specific proteins that may contribute to its analgesic effects in the HIV-tg model of neuropathic pain, without inducing central side effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pharmaceutics18091176","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]],"date-time":"2026-09-17T11:41:35Z","timestamp":1789645295000},"page":"1176","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Studying Peripheral Neuropathy and Associated Neuropathic Pain in HIV-1 Transgenic Rats: Evaluation of the Therapeutic Effect of Cannabidiol and Beta-Caryophyllene"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Alnoud","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Neuroscience, Department of Neuro-Behavioral Health, School of Medicine, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Biomedical Building, McAllen, TX 78504, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-4392-2923","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jose","family":"Rios","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Neuroscience, Department of Neuro-Behavioral Health, School of Medicine, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Biomedical Building, McAllen, TX 78504, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"given":"Salique H.","family":"Shaham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medicine and Oncology ISU, School of Medicine, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Biomedical Building, McAllen, TX 78504, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9959-8668","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manish K.","family":"Tripathi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medicine and Oncology ISU, School of Medicine, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Biomedical Building, McAllen, TX 78504, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-5590-8321","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Khalid","family":"Benamar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Neuroscience, Department of Neuro-Behavioral Health, School of Medicine, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Biomedical Building, McAllen, TX 78504, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-original-draft","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"project-administration","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"funding-acquisition","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"supervision","vocabulary":"credit"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"HIV.gov (2026, September 08).
