促肾上腺皮质激素对慢痛大鼠脊髓 武强 李希成 阮怀珍 黎海蒂 摘要 本研究应用免疫组化、原位杂交和痛级均数测定法,探讨鞘内注射促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)对甲醛引起大鼠脊髓内生长抑素(Som)、c-fos表达及痛反应的影响。结果表明,足底注射甲醛可使大鼠脊髓内c-fos样免疫反应(FLI)、Som样免疫反应(Som-LI)、FLI/Som-LI及前Som原mRNA
(PPS-mRNA)神经元数目显著增多以及痛级均数(PIR)显著升高。而鞘内注射ACTH可显著抑制甲醛引起的大鼠脊髓内FLI、Som-LI、FLI/Som-LI及PPS-mRNA增多和PIR升高效应。鞘内预先注射赛庚啶可阻断ACTH的抑制效应,而荷包牡丹碱、纳洛酮则无影响。结果提示,5-羟色胺受体可能参与ACTH抑制甲醛引起的痛反应。 EFFECT OF ACTH ON THE EXPRESSION OF WU QIANG,LI XI-CHENG,RUAN HUAI-ZHEN,LI HAI-DI ABSTRACT In
the present study,the effect of ACTH on the expression of somatostatin and
c-fos in the spinal cord and formalin induced pain responses in rats were
studied using immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization.The results
showed that subcutaneous injection of formalin in the right hindpaw increased
c-fos-like immunoreactivity (FLI),somatostatin-like immunoreactivity
(Som-LI),Som-LI/FLI and perprosomatostatin mRNA (PPS-mRNA) in neurones of
right spinal dorsal horn and significantly enhanced pain intensity
rating.ACTH decreased the FLI,Som-LI,Som-LI/FLI and PPS-mRNA levels of the
spinal cord evoked by formalin.The decrease of c-fos or Som level due to
intrathecal injection of ACTH in rats with chronic pain was prevented by
injection of cyproheptadine,but not by bicuculline and naloxone.The results
indicate that the serotonin receptor may be involved in ACTH induced
analgesia. ACTH在中枢神经系统作用广泛,并参与痛觉调制。据报道,ACTH不仅可通过脑内5-HT和GABA产生镇痛作用[1,2],脊髓表面滴注ACTH也有镇痛效应,并有量效关系[3]。而脊髓内的生长抑素(somatostatin,Som)
作为第一级伤害性传入神经末梢释放的一种神经递质或神经调制物,已被众多学者所公认[4,5]。本研究用c-fos为伤害性刺激的“标志物”[6],观察鞘内注射ACTH对甲醛引起的痛反应和脊髓Som神经元的影响,探讨ACTH在脊髓痛觉调制中的作用。 1 材料和方法 实验用Wistar大鼠60只,体重200~220 g,雌雄不拘。 2 结果 2.1 甲醛引起的大鼠痛反应及对脊髓内c-fos、Som的影响 |
