Classical analgesic drugs modulate nociceptive-like escape behavior in Drosophila melanogaster larvae

چکیده

Introduction: Nociceptive stimulus triggers escape responses in Drosophila melanogaster larvae, characterized by 360° rolling behavior along its own body axis. Therefore, it is possible to study analgesic drugs based on this stereo­typical nociceptive-like behavior. Here, we aimed develop an predictive validity test of thermal nociception through D. larvae.
 Materials and methods: We evaluated the effect classical analgesics (morphine, dipyrone, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) dexamethasone (DXM)) latency larvae exposed thermal-acute noxious nociceptive sensitization paradigm. Drugs were injected into hemocoel (100 nL) before nocicep­tive measurement.
 Results discussion: Rolling was increased morphine (2, 4, 8 16 ng) dose-dependent manner. Naloxone (4 fully reversed maximum morphine. Dipyrone (32, 64 128 DXM (8 elicited antinociceptive effects. Exposure 97% maximal infrared intensity induced sensitization, i.e., changed from 12 7.5 seconds. ASA (25, 50 100 (4, administered 150 min after displayed reverse rapid onset (30 injection).

 Conclusion: Our findings open perspectives for evaluation discovery using melano­gaster model.

Optogenetic stimulation of escape behavior in Drosophila melanogaster.

A growing number of genetically encoded tools are becoming available that allow non-invasive manipulation of the neural activity of specific neurons in Drosophila melanogaster. Chief among these are optogenetic tools, which enable the activation or silencing of specific neurons in the intact and freely moving animal using bright light. Channelrhodopsin (ChR2) is a light-activated cation channel...

Predatory cannibalism in Drosophila melanogaster larvae.

Hunting live prey is risky and thought to require specialized adaptations. Therefore, observations of predatory cannibalism in otherwise non-carnivorous animals raise questions about its function, adaptive significance and evolutionary potential. Here we document predatory cannibalism on larger conspecifics in Drosophila melanogaster larvae and address its evolutionary significance. We found th...

Nociceptive interneurons control modular motor pathways to promote escape behavior in Drosophila

Rapid and efficient escape behaviors in response to noxious sensory stimuli are essential for protection and survival. Yet, how noxious stimuli are transformed to coordinated escape behaviors remains poorly understood. In Drosophila larvae, noxious stimuli trigger sequential body bending and corkscrew-like rolling behavior. We identified a population of interneurons in the nerve cord of Drosoph...

Cytokine Signaling Mediates UV-Induced Nociceptive Sensitization in Drosophila Larvae

BACKGROUND Heightened nociceptive (pain) sensitivity is an adaptive response to tissue damage and serves to protect the site of injury. Multiple mediators of nociceptive sensitization have been identified in vertebrates, but the complexity of the vertebrate nervous system and tissue-repair responses has hindered identification of the precise roles of these factors. RESULTS Here we establish a...

Conditioned behavior in Drosophila melanogaster.

Populations of Drosophila were trained by alternately exposing them to two odorants, one coupled with electric shock. On testing, the flies avoided the shock-associated odor. Pseudoconditioning, excitatory states, odor preference, sensitization, habituation, and subjective bias have been eliminated as explanations. The selective avoidance can be extinguished by retraining. All flies in the popu...
