Polyamidoamine dendrimer-conjugated triamcinolone acetonide attenuates nerve injury-induced spinal cord microglia activation and mechanical allodynia
Background Accumulating evidence on the causal role of spinal cord microglia activation in the development of neuropathic pain after peripheral nerve injury suggests that microglial activation inhibitors might be useful analgesics for neuropathic pain. Studies also have shown that polyamidoamine dendrimer may function as a drug delivery vehicle to microglia in the central nervous system. In thi...
متن کاملActivation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in spinal microglia contributes to incision-induced mechanical allodynia.
BACKGROUND Recent studies have implicated the activation of stress-activated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38 in spinal microglial cells for development of neuropathic and inflammatory pain. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether phosphorylation of p38 (p-p38) also mediates mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia induced by plantar incision. METHODS After rat...
متن کاملAge-dependent responses to nerve injury-induced mechanical allodynia.
BACKGROUND Developmental differences in responses to acute and chronic nerve injury have received minimal attention. This study examines developmental differences in behavioral responses to a proximal (closer to the spinal cord) (L5 and L6 spinal nerve root ligation) or to a more distal (closer to peripheral innervation) (partial sciatic nerve ligation) nerve injury in rats paralleling the infa...
متن کاملActivation of Src-family kinases in spinal microglia contributes to mechanical hypersensitivity after nerve injury.
Hypersensitivity to mechanical stimulation is a well documented symptom of neuropathic pain, for which there is currently no effective therapy. Src-family kinases (SFKs) are involved in proliferation and differentiation and in neuronal plasticity, including long-term potentiation, learning, and memory. Here we show that activation of SFKs induced in spinal cord microglia is crucial for mechanic...
متن کاملMicroinfusion of TNFα and its antibody into locus coeruleus modifies nerve injury induced thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia
Introduction: Glial activation and secretion of cytokines at the spinal level is known as part of chronic pain pathogenesis. Although changes in TNFα at the supraspinal level are reported during chronic pain, its exact role and site of action remain to be elucidated. We investigated the effect of microinfusion of TNFα into the LC in a rat model of neuropathic pain. Methods: Male Wistar rats...
