摘要
目的探讨脊髓神经元型一氧化氮合酶(nNOS)在大鼠神经病理性痛中的作用。方法健康雄性SD大鼠40只,体重220-280g,采用结扎坐骨神经干的方法建立坐骨神经慢性压迫性损伤(CCI)模型。随机分为4组(n=10),Ⅰ组及Ⅱ组暴露坐骨神经干,分别于术后1d开始鞘内注射选择性nNOS抑制剂7-NI 60μg[溶于20%二甲基亚砜(DMSO)]10μl)、20%DMSO 10ul,1次/d,连续6d;Ⅲ组及Ⅳ组制备CCI模型,分别于术后1d开始鞘内注射7-NI60μg(溶于20%DMSO 10μl)、20%DMSO 10μl,1次/d,连续6d。分别于CCI前1d、CCI后1、3、5、7d时测定大鼠机械痛阈和热痛阈。于CCI后7d,各组分别取5只大鼠,取术侧L4-6背根神经节,分别采用实时定量PCR和Western blot法测定nNOS mRNA及蛋白的表达水平。结果与Ⅰ组和Ⅱ组比较,T1-4时Ⅲ组和Ⅳ组术侧后肢机械痛阈和热痛阈降低(P〈0.05),背根神经节nNOS蛋白及mRNA的表达上调(P〈0.05);与Ⅲ组比较,T1-4时Ⅳ组机械痛阈和热痛阈降低,背根神经节nNOS蛋白及mRNA的表达上调(P〈0.05)。结论脊髓nNOS参与了大鼠神经病理性痛的形成。
Objective To investigate the role of spinal neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in neuropathic pain in rats. Methods Male SD rats weighing 220-280 g were used in this study. The rats were implanted with chronic intrathecal (IT) catheters. Forty rats with normal motor function were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 10 each): group Ⅰ sham operation + 7-nitorindaxole (7-NI) ; group Ⅱ sham operation + DMSO; group Ⅲ CCI + 7-NI and group Ⅳ CCI + DMSO. Neuropathic pain was induced by chronic constrictive injury ( CCI). Right sciatic nerve was exposed and 4 ligatures were placed on the sciatic nerve at 1 mm intervals with 4-0 chromic catgut. In sham operation groups right sciatic nerve was exposed but not ligated. In group Ⅰ and m 7-NI (a selective nNOS inhibitor) 60 μg in 20% DMSO 10 μl was injected IT once a day for 6 consecutive days while in group Ⅱ and Ⅳonly the solvent 20% DMSO 10 μl was injected IT instead of 7-NI. Paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) to mechanical stimulation with von Frey filaments and paw withdrawal latency (PWL) to radiant heat were measured before operation (baseline) and at 1, 3, 5, 7 d after operation. Five animals in each group were killed on the 7th day after operation after last pain threshold measurement. The dorsal root ganglions (DRGs) of the lumbar segment (L4-6 ) were removed for determination of the expression of nNOS mRNA (by RT-PCR) and protein (by Western blot). Results CCI significantly decreased the mechanical and thermal pain thresholds and increased the expression of nNOS mRNA and protein in the ipsilateral DRGs. IT 7-NI administration significantly suppressed the expression of nNOS in the lumbar DRGs and significantly attenuated CCI-induced mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia. Conclusion The spinal nNOS is involved in the formation of neuropathic pain.
