目的:观察大鼠远位触液神经元在鞘内注射[Sar^9,Met(O2)^11]-substance P(Sar-SP)致伤害性刺激信息调控中的作用。方法:CB-HRP大鼠侧脑室注射示踪标记dCSF-CN,鞘内注射Sar-SP(6.5nmol)造模,采用鞘内注射CaMK-Ⅱα拮抗剂KN-93(10μM/10μl),注射人工脑脊液(artificial cerebrospinal fluid,aCSr)10μl作对照测定大鼠痛阈变化。以CB-HRP/pCaMK-Ⅱα免疫组织化学法标记、定位CaMK-Ⅱα在dCSF-CN的分布及表达变化。结果:鞘内注射Sar-SP后热板法大鼠痛阈明显降低,CB-HRP/pCaMK-Ⅱα阳性细胞计数明显增多(P〈0.01 vs aCSF组);预先鞘内注射CaMK-Ⅱα拮抗剂KN-93可部分抑制上述变化(P〈0.01)。结论:鞘内注射Sar-SP可诱导dCSF-CN内CaMK-Ⅱα的磷酸化并能被KN-93部分抑制,提示大鼠dCSF-CN可能通过CaMK-Ⅱα参与伤害性刺激信息传递和信号调控。
Objective: To investigate the involvement of the distal cerebrospinal fluid contacting neurons (dCSF-CNs) in modulation of nociceptive processing induced by[Sar^9 ,Met(O2)^11]-substance P (Sar-SP) in rat pain model. Methods: CaMK-Ⅱα/CB-HRP dual-labeling with immunohistochemical proce-dures to observe the distribution of CaMK-Ⅱα in dCSF-CNs and hot-plate was used to test the pain thresholds. Results: Intrathecal administration of Sar-SP showed decrease of pain threshold and the expression of phosphor-CaMK-Ⅱα in dCSF-CNs was increased at 10 min after Sar-SP injection, reached peak at 30 min, and remained a high level within 2h. Pretreatment of KN-93 attenuated the nociceptive behavior, decreased pain threshold and increased the expression of phosphor-CaMK-Ⅱα. Conclusions: Intrathecal administration of Sar-SP could increase the phosphorylation of CaMK-Ⅱα located in the dCSF-CNs and could be attenuated by pretreatment of KN-93, the results suggest that dCSF-CNs may be involved in the processing of nociception through CaMK-Ⅱα.
