目的 研究μ-和δ-阿片受体在介导丘脑中央下核(Sm)内阿片诱发的抗伤害感受效应中的作用。方法 用自动检测系统记录大鼠爪底皮下注射福尔马林诱发的伤害性行为,观察Sm内微量注射吗啡和选择性μ-和δ-阿片受体拮抗剂对伤害性行为的效应。结果 吗啡(31mmol/L,0.5μL)明显抑制福尔马林诱发的伤害性行为,这种效应可被μ-阿片受体拮抗剂β—funaltrexamine(β-FNA,0.4mmol/L,0.5μL)和naloxonazine(0.8mmol/L,0.5μL)阻断,部分地被δ-受体拮抗剂naltrindole(0.4mmol/L,0.5μL)阻断。结论 Sm内注射吗啡诱发的抗伤害感受效应主要由μ-阿片受体介导,部分地由δ-受体介导。
Objective To investigate whether the μ- and δ- opioid receptors were involved in mediating the antinociceptive effect of opioid injection into the nucleus submedius (Sm). Methods Nociceptive behavior produced by subcutaneous injection of formalin (65 mmol/L, 50 μL) into the hind paw of the rat was assessed quantitatively using an automated movement detection system. The effects of morphine and selective μ- and δ- opioid receptor antagonists microinjected unilaterally into the Sm were determined in the awake rats. Results Morphine (31 mmol/L, 0. 5μL) depressed the nociceptive behavior elicited by formalin, and this effect was antagonized completely by the selective μ-receptor antagonist β-funaltrexamine (β-FNA, 0. 4 mmol/L, 0. 5 μL) and naloxonazine (0.8 mmol/L, 0.5μL), and partly by the δ-receptor antagonist naltrindole (0.4 mmol/L, 0.5μL). Administration of morphine into thalamic regions more than 0. 5 mm dorsal to the Sm had no effect on the nociceptive behavior. Conclusion Antinociceptive effects produced by opioid acting on Sm neurons are mediated mainly by μ-opioid receptors, and partly by δ-receptors.
