目的建立神经病理性痛大鼠脊髓蛋白质组图谱。方法成年雄性SD大鼠16只,体重260~320g,随机分为2组(n=8):假手术组(S组)和神经病理性痛组(NP组)。采用慢性缩窄性坐骨神经损伤法(CCI)制备大鼠神经病理性痛模型,S组仅暴露坐骨神经,不结扎。分别于CCI前1d(基础状态)及CCI后5、7d测定机械痛阈和热痛阈;于CCI后7d痛阈测定结束后取腰段脊髓组织,每组大鼠的脊髓组织混合后提取总蛋白质,测定脊髓组织蛋白质含量。以固相pH值梯度等电聚焦(IEF)为第一向,SDS—PAGE垂直电泳为第二向进行双向凝胶电泳(2-DE),制备脊髓蛋白质2-DE图谱,应用图像分析软件分析2-DE图谱,并观察其差异表达情况。结果与S组比较,NP组CCI后机械痛闽和热痛阈降低(P〈0.05);两组大鼠脊髓组织总蛋白质经双向凝胶电泳分离,银染显色后得到分辨率高、重复性好的2-DE图谱,蛋白质点主要分布在pH3~10,相对分子质量为8~120的区域;NP组差异表达的蛋白质有23个,其中16个蛋白质表达上调,7个蛋白质表达下调(P〈0.05);表达上调幅度最大的为SSP2203蛋白,表达下调幅度最大的为SSP1807蛋白(P〈0.05)。结论本研究成功地建立了神经病理性痛大鼠脊髓蛋白质组的图谱。
Objective To establish the proteomics of the spinal cord in rats with neuropathic pain. Methods Sixteen adult male SD rats weighing 260-320 g were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 8 each) : sham operation group (S) and neuropathic pain group (NP). Neuropathic pain was induced by chronic constrictive injury (CCI). The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal (IP) 10% chloral hydrate 300 mg/kg. The right sciatic nerve was exposed and 4 ligatures were placed on the sciatic nerve at 1 mm intervals. Theshold to thermal and mechanical stimulation was measured 1 day before and at 5, 7 d after CCI. The animals were sacrificed at 7 d after pain threshold measurement. The lumbar enlargement segments of the spinal cord were harvested and proteins resolved by 2-DE. Differential proteome profiles were established and analyzed by means of immobilized pH gradient based on two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE). The 2-DE maps were visualized after silver staining and analyzed with image Master 2-DE software. Results There were 546 and 532 spots obtained in 2-DE maps of rat spinal cord tissue in group S and NP, and 23 proteins were found to be differentially expressed in NP group as compared with S group. Of the 23 proteins the expression of the 17 spots was increased and 6 spots decreased in quantity. Conclusion The optimized 2-DE profiles of proteome from the spinal cord of the rats with neuropathic pain were established preliminarily. It lays foundation for the proteome research of neuropathic pain.
