The present study examined the effects of intrathecal use of resveratrol on pain hypersensitivities, spinal glia activation, and CX3CR1 expression in the model of bone cancer pain (BCP). The BCP model was established through intrathecally injecting Walker 256 mammary gland carcinoma cells to Sprague‐Dawley rats. We found that spinal CX3CR1 expression and glial activation aggravated after inoculation. Resveratrol (i.t.) attenuated bone cancer‐induced pain hypersensitivities, decreased CX3CR1 expression and glial activation in the spine in a BCP model. Resveratrol (i.t.) also attenuated mechanical allodynia resulting from intrathecally injecting fractalkine in rats. Inhibition of spinal glial activation and CX3CR1 upregulation may involve in resveratrol's analgesic effects. These findings demonstrated that resveratrol attenuated pain facilitation through inhibiting spinal glial activation and CX3CR1 upregulation in a BCP model. 相似文献

Peripheral nerve injury resulting in neuropathic pain induces the upregulation of interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α, which binds to tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) and induces NF-κB and p38 MAPK activation in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia (DRG). We here investigated whether TNFR1 regulates IL-6 expression through NF-κB or p38 MAPK activations in the spinal cord and DRG in rats with chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve. Intrathecal treatment with a TNFR1 antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) significantly inhibited CCI-elevated IKKs phosphorylation, IkB-α degradation, the nuclear translocation, phosphorylation, and DNA-binding activity of NF-κB, p38 MAPK activation, and IL-6 mRNA and protein expression in the spinal cord and DRG. Interestingly, CCI remarkably elevated IKKα and p65 phosphorylations in the spinal cord rather than in the DRG. In addition, NF-κB decoy, but not p38 MAPK inhibitor, SB203580 reduced CCI-elevated IL-6 expression in the spinal cord and DRG. Therefore, these data suggest that TNFR1 induces IL-6 upregulation and neuropathic pain through NF-κB, but not p38 MAPK activation in the spinal cord and DRG and that the NF-κB/IL-6 pathways in the DRG may be less dependent on TNFR1 than the spinal cord pathway. 相似文献

Antidepressants are often used for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Clinical studies suggest that the efficacy of serotonin (5-HT) and noradrenaline (NA) reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) for neuropathic pain is greater than that of selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). In the present study, we determined the efficacy and mechanisms involved in the antihyperalgesic effects of milnacipran, an SNRI, compared with paroxetine, an SSRI, and maprotiline, a selective NA reuptake inhibitor, using a rat model of neuropathic pain. Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent spinal nerve ligation (SNL), and the withdrawal threshold to paw pressure was measured. Intraperitoneal injection of milnacipran (3-30mg/kg) produced a dose-dependent antihyperalgesic effect. The effect was reversed by intrathecal injection of the α(2)-adrenoceptor antagonist idazoxan (30μg), but not by various 5-HT receptor antagonists. Paroxetine produced an antihyperalgesic effect only at the highest dose tested (10mg/kg). This effect was reversed by intrathecal injection of both idazoxan and ondansetron (30μg), a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. Maprotiline produced an antihyperalgesic effect (10 and 30mg/kg), and the effect was reversed by intrathecal idazoxan. In microdialysis studies, NA and 5-HT concentrations in the spinal dorsal horn were increased after injection of either milnacipran or paroxetine, and only NA was increased after maprotiline. Furthermore, the NA content in the spinal cord of SNL rats was greater than that in normal animals. These findings suggest that an increase in NA in the spinal cord plays an important role in the antihyperalgesic effects of not only NA reuptake inhibitors but also SSRIs. 相似文献

The central nervous system controls the innate immunity by modulating efferent neuronal networks. Recently, we have reported that central brain stimulation inhibits inflammatory responses. In the present study, we investigate whether spinal p38 mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) affects joint inflammation in experimental arthritis. Firstly, we observed that intra‐articular administration of zymosan in mice induces the phosphorylation of the spinal cord p38 MAPK. In addition, we demonstrated that spinal p38 MAPK inhibition with intrathecal injection of SB203580, a conventional and well‐characterized inhibitor, prevents knee joint neutrophil recruitment, edema formation, experimental score and cytokine production. This local anti‐inflammatory effect was completely abolished with chemical sympathectomy (guanethidine) and beta‐adrenergic receptors blockade (nadolol). In conclusion, our results suggest that pharmacological strategies involving the modulation of spinal p38 MAPK circuit can prevent joint inflammation via sympathetic networks and beta‐adrenoceptors activation. 相似文献

Neuropathic pain is a chronic pain state resulting from peripheral nerve injury, characterized by hyperalgesia and allodynia. We have reported that mice with genetic impairment of IL‐1 signaling display attenuated neuropathic pain behavior and ectopic neuronal activity. In order to substantiate the role of IL‐1 in neuropathic pain, WT mice were implanted subcutaneously with osmotic micropumps containing either IL‐1ra or vehicle. Two days following the implantation, two models of neuropathic pain were used; partial nerve injury (spinal nerve transection, SNT), or complete nerve cut (spinal neuroma model). Mechanosensitivity was assessed seven consecutive days following SNT, and on day 7 recordings of spontaneous ectopic activity were performed. In the spinal nerve neuroma model, autotomy scores were recorded up to 35 days. Vehicle‐treated mice developed significant allodynia and autotomy, and clear ectopic activity (4.1±1.1% of the axons); whereas IL‐1ra‐treated mice did not display allodynic response, displayed delayed onset of autotomy and markedly reduced severity of autotomy scores, and displayed reduced spontaneous activity (0.8±0.4% of the axons). To test whether IL‐1 is involved in maintenance of mechanical allodynia, a separate group of WT mice was treated with a single injection of either saline or IL‐1ra four days following SNT, after the allodynic response was already manifested. Whereas saline‐treated mice displayed robust allodynia, acute IL‐1ra treatment induced long‐lasting attenuation of the allodynic response. The results support our hypothesis that IL‐1 signaling plays an important role in neuropathic pain and in the ectopic neuronal activity that underling its development. 相似文献

Chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve in rats evokes c‐Fos expression at spinal cord level. Using immunohistochemical methods we studied changes in c‐Fos expression in the brain stem area, which is suggested as one of the major targets of projection neurons in the superficial dorsal horn laminae, i.e., the parabrachial area. During the first week following injury, the animals developed tactile allodynia. At this time we found an increase of c‐Fos positive neurons in the parabrachial area, mainly in the pontine part where the group of c‐Fos immunoreactive neurons was present in the dorsal part of lateral parabrachial subnuclei. The number of c‐Fos positive neurons gradually decreased up to 14 days following CCI. The specific activation of brain stem neurons during onset of mechanical allodynia could underlie the changes in central nociceptive processing following peripheral nerve injury. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effects of the ginsenoside Rh3 on rats subjected to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MIR) via its impact on caspase-3 and the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway.MethodsFifteen male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly categorized into the MIR group (MY group, n = 5), sham surgery group (SS group, n = 5), and ginsenoside Rh3 group (GR group, n = 5).ResultsThe MY group exhibited the largest myocardial infarctions compared with the GR and SS groups. The GR group exhibited significantly higher cell viability of cardiomyocytes and significantly decreased apoptosis compared with the MY group. Fibrils of infarcted tissue in the GR group were disordered but less swollen, with a more organized fibril orientation than those in the MY group. The GR group showed reduced p-p38 MAPK protein and caspase-3 mRNA expression levels compared with the MY and SS groups.ConclusionsRh3 significantly improved myocardial necrosis and caspase-3 levels in myocardial tissues by suppressing the p38 MAPK pathway, thereby inhibiting caspase-3 involvement in apoptosis. Thus, Rh3 was effective in inhibiting the escalated apoptotic pathway in myocardial infarction and can potentially serve as a useful therapeutic agent to rescue myocardial infarction. 相似文献

Summary. Background: C4b‐binding protein (C4BP), a multimeric protein structurally composed of α chains (C4BPα) and a β chain (C4BPβ), regulates the anticoagulant activity of protein S (PS). Patients with sepsis have increased levels of plasma C4BP, which appears to be induced by interleukin (IL)‐6. However, it is not fully understood how lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and IL‐6 affect the plasma C4BP antigen level and C4BPα and C4BPβ expression in hepatocytes. Objectives: To assess the effect of LPS and IL‐6 on plasma C4BP, PS–C4BP complex levels, PS activity, and C4BP expression by rat liver in vivo and on C4BP expression by isolated rat hepatocytes in vitro. Results: Plasma C4BP antigen level transiently decreased from 2 to 12 h after LPS (2 mg kg?1) injection, and then it abruptly increased up to 24 h after LPS injection. Plasma C4BP antigen level increased until 8 h after IL‐6 (10 μg kg?1) injection, and then gradually decreased up to 24 h after IL‐6 injection. LPS significantly decreased the protein and mRNA expression of both C4BPα and C4BPβ in rat hepatocytes, and this effect was inhibited by NFκB and MEK/ERK inhibitors. IL‐6 mediated increase in C4BPβ expression in rat hepatocytes, which leads to increased plasma PS–C4BP complex level and to decreased plasma PS activity, was inhibited by inhibition of STAT‐3. Conclusion: LPS decreases both C4BPα and C4BPβ expression via the NFκB and MEK/ERK pathways, whereas IL‐6 specifically increases C4BPβ expression via the STAT‐3 pathway, causing an increase in plasma PS–C4BP complex, and thus decreasing the anticoagulant activity of PS. 相似文献

Axial micromotion of bone fragments promotes callus formation and bone healing during the process of distraction osteogenesis (DO). This study investigated the effects of the combined axial compression and distraction (accordion) technique on bone regeneration in rat DO model. Male Sprague–Dawley rats (n = 62) underwent right tibial transverse osteotomy and were randomly divided into four groups after lengthening: control (no manipulation) and three experimental groups assigned on the basis of the period of accordion manoeuvres in the consolidation phase (Groups 1, 2, and 3 with accordion technique applied at Weeks 1, 3, and 5, respectively). Animals were terminated at 1 week after each accordion phase (i.e., Weeks 2, 4, and 6). Callus formation was monitored by X‐ray radiography; new bone quality was evaluated by microcomputed tomography, histological analysis, and mechanical testing. Serum levels of hypoxia‐inducible factor (HIF)‐1α and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were measured. Callus formation after accordion manoeuvre at Week 3 (Group 2) increased significantly over time of consolidation. The microcomputed tomography and mechanical analysis revealed Group 2 had more newly formed bone and superior mechanical properties in contrast to the other groups at termination. Histomorphological and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed a greater degree of osteogenesis and angiogenesis corresponding to increased serum levels of HIF‐1α and VEGF in Group 2. The accordion technique was effective in promoting bone consolidation via activation of HIF‐1α/VEGF during DO. The accordion technique may be used in the middle phase of bone consolidation to promote bone formation in patients undergoing DO treatment. 相似文献

Background: Traditional risk factors such as hyperlipidemia induce a state of inflammation that impairs vascular function. Despite marked maternal hyperlipidemia, endothelial function improves during pregnancy. In non‐pregnant state increased circulating levels of pro‐inflammatory cytokines and high sensitive C‐reactive protein (hsCRP) lead to attenuated flow mediated vasodilation. Relation between endothelial function and pro‐inflammatory cytokines has not been studied thoroughly in pregnancy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of pregnancy on hsCRP and pro‐inflammatory cytokines and their associations with vascular endothelial function. Methods: As part of population‐based, prospective cohort Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns study conducted in Finland we measured brachial artery flow mediated dilation (FMD) and serum concentrations of hsCRP, interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) in 57 pregnant Finnish women throughout gestation and 62 control women matched for age and smoking. Results: HsCRP‐concentration was greater in pregnancy compared to non‐pregnant controls (median hsCRP 2·52 mg l?1 versus 1·21 mg l?1, P<0·001). IL‐6‐concentration was slightly increased in pregnancy compared with the non‐pregnant controls (median 1·66 versus 1·32 mg l?1, non‐significant [NS]) and TNF‐α‐concentration was slightly decreased in pregnant group (2·11 versus 2·38 pg ml?1, NS). FMD increased during pregnancy and IL‐6 had a positive correlation to the FMD in pregnancy (R = 0·288, P = 0·031). Conclusions: Improvement of FMD in normal pregnancy was not affected by increase in hsCRP concentration. We found an association with IL‐6 and FMD but we believe that improvement in endothelial function during normal pregnancy is not caused by variation in hsCRP, IL‐6 or TNF‐α. 相似文献

Despite spontaneous tumor growth in genetically engineered mice being one of the most recognized tools for the in vivo evaluation of novel diagnostic and therapeutic anticancer compounds, monitoring early stage lesions in live animals is a goal that has yet to be achieved. A large number of targets for the molecular imaging of various diseases have been identified and many imaging technologies, including optical techniques are emerging. One of the most commonly exploited targets in tumor imaging is αvβ3 integrin, which plays an important role in the expansion, invasiveness and metastatic capability of a number of cancers, including breast cancer. The aim of this study was to set up an optical imaging method for the early detection of autochthonous mammary cancer in female BALB/c mice transgenic for the rat‐ErbB‐2 oncogene (BALB‐neuT). We show that DA364, a near‐infrared fluorescence arginine–glycine–aspartic acid cyclic probe, was taken up by neoplastic mammary glands and that its uptake increased with cancer progression. By contrast, the nonaccumulation of DA364 in the healthy mammary glands of virgin and lactating wild‐type mice suggests that the probe specifically targets breast cancers. Comparisons of optical imaging with whole‐mount and histological findings showed that DA364 allows the noninvasive visualization of atypical hyperplasia and microscopic foci of in situ carcinoma 2 months before mammary lesions become detectable by palpation. Moreover, DA364 was successfully used to monitor the outcome of anticancer vaccination. Therefore, it can be considered a promising early detection tool in near‐infrared noninvasive optical imaging for the early diagnosis of breast cancer. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are being explored for cell therapies targeting varied human diseases. For that, cells are being expanded in vitro, many times with fetal bovine serum (FBS) as the main source of growth factors. However, animal‐derived components should not be used, to avoid immune rejection from the patient that receives the MSC. To solve this issue, different xeno‐free media are being developed, and an industrial‐grade human plasma fraction (SCC) is a promising candidate to substitute FBS. Indeed, we have previously shown that MSC expanded in SCC‐medium maintain their phenotype and genetic stability. However, a reduction on MSC motility was observed when comparing with MSC motility on FBS‐medium. Thus, in this present study, we have tested different factors to improve the motility of MSC in SCC‐medium. Time lapse assays and experiments with transwells revealed that supplementation of the xeno‐free medium with FGF or PDGF, but not TNF‐α or SDF‐1, increased MSC motility. Interestingly, FGF and PDGF supplementation also led to alterations on MSC morphology to a shape similar to the one observed when using FBS. The mechanism behind the effect of FGF on MSC motility involved the increased expression of αVβ3 integrin. Furthermore, assays with small molecule inhibitors revealed that the signalling molecule p38 MAPK is important for MSC motility and that MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT also have a role on FGF‐supplemented expanded MSC. Thus, it was found that FGF supplementation can improve the motility of xeno‐free‐expanded MSC and that the cells motility is regulated by αVβ3 integrin. 相似文献

Summary. Background: Studies of Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT)‐causing mutations has generated invaluable information on the formation and function of integrin αIIbβ3. Objective: To characterize the mutation in four siblings of an Israeli Arab family affected by GT, and to analyze the relationships between the mutant protein structure and its function using artificial mutations. Methods and Results: Sequencing disclosed a new A97G transversion in the αIIb gene predicting Asn2Asp substitution at blade 1 of the β‐propeller. Alignment with other integrin α subunits revealed that Asn2 is highly conserved. No surface expression of αIIbβ3 was found in patients’ platelets and baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells transfected with mutated αIIb and WT β3. Although the αIIbβ3 was formed, the mutation impaired its intracellular trafficking. Molecular dynamics simulations and modeling of the αIIbβ3 crystal indicated that the Asn2Asp mutation disrupts a hydrogen bond between Asn2 and Leu366 of a calcium binding domain in blade 6, thereby impairing calcium binding that is essential for intracellular trafficking of αIIbβ3. Substitution of Asn2 to uncharged Ala or Gln partially decreased αIIbβ3 surface expression, while substitution by negatively or positively charged residues completely abolished surface expression. Unlike αIIbβ3, αVβ3 harboring the Asn2Asp mutation was surface expressed by transfected BHK cells, which is consistent with the known lower sensitivity of αVβ3 to calcium chelation compared with αIIbβ3. Conclusion: The new GT causing mutation highlights the importance of calcium binding domains in the β‐propeller for intracellular trafficking of αIIbβ3. The mechanism by which the mutation exerts its deleterious effect was elucidated by molecular dynamics. 相似文献
