5-HT5A受体在长春新碱致神经病理性痛大鼠脊髓背角星形胶质细胞活化中的作用

目的 评价5-羟色胺5A受体(5-HT5AR)在长春新碱致神经病理性痛大鼠脊髓背角星形胶质细胞活化中的作用.方法 雄性成年SD大鼠40只,体重180～200 g,随机分为4组(n=10):对照组(C组)、神经病理性痛组(P组)、空载体腺病毒组(B组)和siRNA重组腺病毒载体组(S组).C组腹腔注射生理盐水1 ml;P组、B组和S组第1～5天和第8～12天每天定时腹腔注射0.1 mg/kg长春新碱建立大鼠神经病理性痛模型.腹腔给药结束第2天测定机械痛阈,然后P组、B组和S组分别鞘内注射人工脑脊液、空载体腺病毒和siRNA重组腺病毒载体25μl.鞘内给药后第7天测定机械痛阈,然后处死大鼠,取L4.5脊髓组织,测定脊髓背角5-HT5AR及胶原纤维酸性蛋白(GFAP)的表达.结果 与C组比较,P组、B组和S组各时点机械痛阈降低,脊髓背角5-HT5AR和GFAP的表达均上调(P＜0.05);与P组比较,S组鞘内给药后第7天机械痛阈降低,脊髓背角5-HT5AR表达下调,GFAP表达上调(P＜0.05),B组上述指标差异无统计学意义(P＞0.05).结论 5-HT5AR参与了星形胶质细胞活化的抑制过程,从而减轻长春新碱致大鼠神经病理性痛.

Role of 5-HT5A receptors in activation of astroglia in the spinal dorsal horn in a rat model of neuropathic pain by vincristine

Objective To evaluate the role of 5-HT5A receptors (5-HT5A R) in activation of astroglia in the spinal dorsal horn in a rat model of neuropathic pain induced by vincristine. Methods Forty adult male SD rats weighing 180-200 g were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 10 each): control group (group C);neuropathic pain group (group P);Ad-X-HK group (group B) and Ad-5-HT5A-siRNA group (group S). Neuropathic pain was induced by repeated intraperitoneal (IP) injection of vincristine 0.1 mg/kg according to the method described by Weng et al in group P, B and S. On the 2nd day after the last IP injection, the animals received artificial cerebrospinal fluid, Ad-X-HK and Ad-5-HT5A-siRNA 25 μl administered intrathecally (IT) in group P, B and S respectively. Paw withdrawal threshold to mechanical stimulus was measured before and on the 7th day after IT administration. The animals were then sacrificed. The lumbar segment ( L4.5 ) of the spinal cord was removed for determination of 5-HT5A R and GFAP expression. Results Body weight and paw withdrawal threshold were significantly decreased after repeated IP vincristine administration in group P compared with group C. IT Ad-5-HT5A-siRNA reduced pain threshold further in group S compared with group P. Repeated IP vincristine significantly increased the expression of 5-HT5A R and GFAP in spinal dorsal horn, and IT Ad-5-HT5A-siRNA significantly decreased the expression of 5-HT5A R while increased the expression of GFAP in spinal dorsal horn in group S compared with group P. Conclusion 5-HT5AR is involved in the inhibition of astrocyte activation, resulting in reduction of vincristineinduced neuropathic pain.
