目的探讨鞘内注射钙/钙调蛋白依赖性蛋白激酶II(CaMKII)抑制剂KN93对骨癌痛小鼠脊髓NR2B蛋白表达的影响及机制。方法SPF级雄性C3J/HeJ小鼠36只,采用随机数字表法分为3组:假手术组(S组n=8)、骨癌痛组(BP组n=8)和KN93组(K组n=20)。BP组和K组采用股骨远端骨髓腔注射20μl含NCTC2472纤维肉瘤细胞的α—MEM的方法制备骨癌痛模型,S组骨髓腔注入不含NCTC2472细胞的同体积α—MEM。K组于接种肿瘤细胞后14d鞘内注射溶于20%DMSO的KN9360nmol/5μl,BP组和S组鞘内注射20%DMSO5μl。分别于肿瘤细胞接种前1d、鞘内注射KN93或溶媒前1h、注射后1,2,4,24h(T0-5)时各组随机取8只小鼠,采用vonFrey丝测定机械痛阈,并于各时点随机取3只小鼠处死取脊髓L3~5节段,采用Westernblot法测定NR2B蛋白的表达。结果与s组[机械痛阈(1.78±0.31)g、NR2B(0.33±0.04)]相比,除K组1r3时机械痛阈差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05)外,BP组[(0.50±0.11)g]和K组[(0.52±0.10)g]机械痛阈均降低(P〈0.05),BP组(1.78±0.34)和K组T2~5[分别为(1.11±0.14)、(0.73±0.03)、(1.11±0.15)、(1.89±0.32)]脊髓组织NR2B蛋白表达均上调(P〈0.05);与BP组相比,K组T2~4机械痛阈升高,NR2B蛋白表达下调;与给药前T1相比,除K组T2~4机械痛阈升高外,各组各时点该指标差异均无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。结论鞘内注射KN93缓解小鼠骨癌痛的同时降低小鼠脊髓NR2B蛋白表达,CaMKII—NR2B信号通路可能参与了骨癌痛的形成。
Objective To investigate the effect of KN93,a CaMKII inhibitor,on the spinal NR2B expres- sion in the bone cancer pain mouse and its underlying mechanism. Methods Thirty-six male C3H/HeJ mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham group( S, n = 8) ,bone cancer pain group( BP, n = 8 ) and KN93 group( K, n = 20). The mouse model of bone cancer pain was established by intra-femur inoculation of osteolytic NCTC 2472 cells in BP and K groups. At 14d post operation,mice in K group received intrathecal injection of 60nmol KN93/ 5p,1 in 20% DMSO and mice in BP group and S group received 20% DMSD 5μl respectively. Eight mice were se- lected randomly from each group at 1 d before inoculation, at 1 h before administration and at 1,2,4,24h after ad- ministration( To_5 ) to be measured the paw withdrawal threshold(PWT) stimulated by von Frey filaments. Another 3 mice were sacrificed at the corresponding time point and the spinal cord L3 -5 were obtained for determination of NR2B expression by western blot. Results PWT was significantly decreased in group BP( (0.50 ± 0.11 )g) and K( (0.52 ±0.10 ) g), except for group K at T3 (P 〉 0.05 ) , and NR2B expression up-regulated at T2-5 in BP( 1.78 ±0.34),Kgroups ((1.11±0.14),(0.73±0.03),(1.11 ±0.15),(1.89±0.32)) compared with S group (( 1.78 ± 0.31 )g, (0.33 ± 0.04), P 〈 0.05 ). Compared with group BP, PWT was increased and NR2B expres- sion down-regulated at T24 in group K. In contrast to T1 , PWT at T2-4 upgraded in group K (P 〈 0.05 ) , but no sig- nificant difference was observed in other groups(P〉 0.05 ). Conclusion Intrathecal injection of KN93 can attenu- ate bone cancer pain in mice through inhibiting NR2B with a time-dependent manner and spinal CaMKII-NR2B pathway may participate in the development of bone cancer pain.
