急性神经损伤引起脊髓背角C-纤维诱发电位长时程增强 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
神经损伤引起神经病性疼痛,表现为持续性痛超敏和痛觉过敏。目前对神经病性疼痛的机制尚缺乏了解。我们以往的工作表明强直电刺激坐骨神经可引起脊髓背角C-纤维诱发电位的长时程增强(long-term potentiation,LTP),该LTP被认为是病理性疼痛的突触模型。本研究的目的在于探讨急性神经损伤是否能在完整动物的脊髓背角诱发出C-纤维诱发电位LTP。在以测试刺激(10~20V,0.5ms)电刺激坐骨神经的同时在脊髓背角用微电极记录C一纤维诱发电位。分别用强直刺激、剪断或夹捏坐骨神经诱导LTP。结果发现:(1)剪断或夹捏坐骨神经都可以诱导脊髓背角C-纤维诱发电位的LTP,该LTP可持续到实验结束(3~9h),在剪断神经前10min用利多卡因局部阻滞坐骨神经则可完全阻断LTP的产生;(2)神经损伤诱导的LTP可被NMDA受体阻断剂AP5所阻断;(3)用单次强直刺激引起LTP后,切断坐骨神经可使LTP的幅度进一步增大,而用多次强直电刺激使LTP饱和后,损伤神经则不能使LTP进一步增大。切断神经引起LTP后,强直电刺激也不能使LTP进一步增大。这些结果表明,急性神经损伤可以诱导脊髓背角C纤维诱发电位LTP,且切断神经能更有效地诱导LTP。该试验进一步支持我们的设想,即脊髓背角C-纤维诱发电位LTP可能在病理性疼痛的形成中起重要作用。 相似文献

The long-term potentiation (LTP) of spinal C-fiber-evoked field potentials is considered as a fundamental mechanism of central sensitization in the spinal cord. Accumulating evidence has showed the contribution of spinal microglia to spinal LTP and pathological pain. As a key signaling of neurons-microglia interactions, the involvement of CX3CL1/CX3CR1 signaling in pathological pain has also been investigated extensively. The present study examined whether CX3CL1/CX3CR1 signaling plays a role in spinal LTP. The results showed that 10-trains tetanic stimulation (100 Hz, 2s) of the sciatic nerve (TSS) produced a significant LTP of C-fiber-evoked field potentials lasting for over 3 h in the rat spinal dorsal horn. Blockade of CX3CL1/CX3CR1 signaling with an anti-CX3CR1 neutralizing antibody (CX3CR1 AB) markedly suppressed TSS-induced LTP. Exogenous CX3CL1 significantly potentiated 3-trains TSS-induced LTP in rats. Consistently, spinal LTP of C-fiber-evoked field potentials was also induced by TSS (100 Hz, 1s, 4 trains) in all C57BL/6 wild type (WT) mice. However, in CX3CR1-/- mice, TSS failed to induce LTP and behavioral hypersensitivity, confirming an essential role of CX3CR1 in spinal LTP induction. Furthermore, blockade of IL-18 or IL-23, the potential downstream factors of CX3CL1/CX3CR1 signaling, with IL-18 BP or anti-IL-23 neutralizing antibody (IL-23 AB), obviously suppressed spinal LTP in rats. These results suggest that CX3CL1/CX3CR1 signaling is involved in LTP of C-fiber-evoked field potentials in the rodent spinal dorsal horn. 相似文献

Background
Our previous study demonstrated that nitric oxide (NO) contributes to long-term potentiation (LTP) of C-fiber-evoked field potentials by tetanic stimulation of the sciatic nerve in the spinal cord in vivo. Ryanodine receptor (RyR) is a downstream target for NO. The present study further explored the role of RyR in synaptic plasticity of the spinal pain pathway.Results
By means of field potential recordings in the adult male rat in vivo, we showed that RyR antagonist reduced LTP of C-fiber-evoked responses in the spinal dorsal horn by tetanic stimulation of the sciatic nerve. Using spinal cord slice preparations and field potential recordings from superficial dorsal horn, high frequency stimulation of Lissauer's tract (LT) stably induced LTP of field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs). Perfusion of RyR antagonists blocked the induction of LT stimulation-evoked spinal LTP, while Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor (IP3R) antagonist had no significant effect on LTP induction. Moreover, activation of RyRs by caffeine without high frequency stimulation induced a long-term potentiation in the presence of bicuculline methiodide and strychnine. Further, in patch-clamp recordings from superficial dorsal horn neurons, activation of RyRs resulted in a large increase in the frequency of miniature EPSCs (mEPSCs). Immunohistochemical study showed that RyRs were expressed in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. Likewise, calcium imaging in small DRG neurons illustrated that activation of RyRs elevated [Ca2+]i in small DRG neurons.Conclusions
These data indicate that activation of presynaptic RyRs play a crucial role in the induction of LTP in the spinal pain pathway, probably through enhancement of transmitter release. 相似文献4.
磷酸化钙/钙调蛋白依赖性蛋白激酶Ⅱ在大鼠脊髓背角C-纤维诱发电位长时程增强的诱导和维持中的作用 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
实验旨在探讨钙/钙调蛋白依赖性蛋白激酶II(calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ,CaMKⅡ)在脊髓背角C-纤维诱发电位长时程增强(long—term potentiation,LTP)的诱导和维持中的作用。用Western blot技术分别检测LTP形成30min和3h脊髓背角(L4-L6)CaMKⅡ的含量及其磷酸化水平。同时观察脊髓局部给予CAMKⅡ选择性抑制剂KN-93后对脊髓背角LTP和CaMKII磷酸化的影响。观察结果如下:(1)诱导LTP后30min,CaMK Ⅱ的磷酸化水平明显高于对照组,而CaMKⅡ的总量无变化;诱导LTP后3h CaMKⅡ的磷酸化水平进一步升高。而且CaMKⅡ的总量也明显增加(n=4);(2)强直刺激前30min于脊髓局部给予CaMKⅡ的特异性抑制剂KN-93(100μmol/L),可阻断LTP的诱导,同时明显抑制CaMKⅡ的磷酸化水平;(3)诱导LTP后30min给予KN-93,可显著抑制LTP的维持,同时CaMKⅡ的磷酸化水平与未用药组相比也明显降低(n=3);(4)LTP3h后给予KN-93,LTP的幅值不受影响,磷酸化的CaMKⅡ的含量与用药前相比也无差别(n=3)。根据上述实验结果可以认为,CaMKⅡ的激活参与脊髓背角C-纤维诱发电位LTP的诱导和早期维持过程。 相似文献

Previous studies indicated that disruption of glial function in the spinal cord enhanced electroacupuncture (EA) analgesia
in arthritic rats, suggesting glia is involved in processing EA analgesia. To probe into the potential value for clinical
practice, the present study was to investigate the effect of propentofylline, a glia inhibitor, on EA analgesia in rats. Mechanical
allodynia induced by tetanic stimulation of sciatic nerve (TSS) was used as a pain model. On day 7 after TSS, EA treatment
induced a significant increase in paw withdrawal threshold to mechanical stimulation. Intrathecal or intraperitoneal injection
of propentofylline relieved TSS-induced mechanical allodynia. The combination of low dosage of propentofylline and EA produced
more potent anti-allodynia than propentofylline or EA alone. Immunohistochemistry exhibited that TSS-induced activation of
microglia and astrocytes was inhibited significantly by propentofylline. These results indicate that propentofylline and EA
induce synergetic analgesia by interrupting spinal glial function. 相似文献

We have demonstrated that immediate early genes can be differentially activated within the central nervous system. We examined the effects of tetanic stimulation in the hippocampus and of noxious sensory stimulation of the spinal cord on the expression of eight immediate early genes. Induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) in the dentate gyrus resulted in an increase in mRNA and protein for NGFI-A (also termed Zif/268, Egr-1, or Krox 24), and less consistently for jun-B mRNA. No increase was seen for c-fos, NGFI-B, c-jun, jun-D, SRF, or PC4 mRNAs. Blockade of the NMDA receptor prevented the induction of both LTP and NGFI-A mRNA in the dentate gyrus. However, commissural stimulation, which prevented the induction of LTP, resulted in bilateral activation of all the genes examined, including NGFI-A. No change was seen in animals trained in a water maze. These results suggest that no simple relationship exists between LTP, spatial learning, and immediate early gene induction. Stimulation of sensory fibers resulted in an increase in mRNA for NGFI-A, c-fos, SRF, NGFI-B, and c-jun in spinal cord neurons. Blockade of the NMDA receptor had no effect on immediate early gene induction in the spinal cord. 相似文献

Lamina 5 sensorimotor cortex pyramidal neurons project to the spinal cord, participating in the modulation of several modalities of information transmission. A well-studied mechanism by which the corticospinal projection modulates sensory information is primary afferent depolarization, which has been characterized in fast muscular and cutaneous, but not in slow-conducting nociceptive skin afferents. Here we investigated whether the inhibition of nociceptive sensory information, produced by activation of the sensorimotor cortex, involves a direct presynaptic modulation of C primary afferents. In anaesthetized male Wistar rats, we analyzed the effects of sensorimotor cortex activation on post tetanic potentiation (PTP) and the paired pulse ratio (PPR) of dorsal horn field potentials evoked by C–fiber stimulation in the sural (SU) and sciatic (SC) nerves. We also explored the time course of the excitability changes in nociceptive afferents produced by cortical stimulation. We observed that the development of PTP was completely blocked when C-fiber tetanic stimulation was paired with cortex stimulation. In addition, sensorimotor cortex activation by topical administration of bicuculline (BIC) produced a reduction in the amplitude of C–fiber responses, as well as an increase in the PPR. Furthermore, increases in the intraspinal excitability of slow-conducting fiber terminals, produced by sensorimotor cortex stimulation, were indicative of primary afferent depolarization. Topical administration of BIC in the spinal cord blocked the inhibition of C–fiber neuronal responses produced by cortical stimulation. Dorsal horn neurons responding to sensorimotor cortex stimulation also exhibited a peripheral receptive field and responded to stimulation of fast cutaneous myelinated fibers. Our results suggest that corticospinal inhibition of nociceptive responses is due in part to a modulation of the excitability of primary C–fibers by means of GABAergic inhibitory interneurons. 相似文献

鸣禽高级发声中枢(high vocal center,HVC)至弓状皮质栎核(robust nucleus ofthe arcopallium,RA)的突触传递是鸣唱运动通路中的关键部分.本文运用在体场电位电生理记录的方法,研究了成年雄性斑胸草雀(Taeniopygia guttata)HVC-RA突触的电生理特性.实验结果显示,刺激HVC,在RA内所记录到的诱发场电位幅度较小.配对脉冲检测发现,HVC-RA突触传递具有明显的配对脉冲易化特性.当以强直刺激作用于HVC,RA内诱发场电位随即显著减小,并在15 min内逐渐恢复,表明HVC-RA突触传递在强直刺激过后出现了短时抑制.该通路的突触传递特性可能与其在发声控制中的作用有关.以上的实验结果为进一步研究发声运动过程中的突触可塑性提供了资料. 相似文献

2 Hz与100 Hz刺激在诱导大鼠视皮层长持续长时程增强中的不同作用 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
在哺乳动物的视皮层,多种不同参数的刺激可诱导出长时程增强(long-term potentiation,LTP)现象。但关于刺激参数与持续时间长于3h的长持续LTP(long lasting LTP,L-LTP)之间关系的研究较少。本研究用3周龄的大鼠视皮层脑片标本,在Ⅳ层刺激而在Ⅱ/Ⅲ层记录场电位,待场电位稳定后施加强直刺激诱导LTP,探讨2Hz与100Hz的强直刺激在诱发持续时间长于3h的L-LTP中的作用。结果表明,多于300个脉冲不同频率的刺激可稳定地诱导出L-LTP;2Hz与100Hz的刺激诱发的L-LTP有明显不同的表达形式,100Hz刺激可诱导出较大的L-LTP;频率相同而脉冲数不同的强直刺激诱发的L-LTP有相同的表达形式。以上结果提示,不同频率的强直刺激诱发的L-LTP机制可能不同;相同频率的刺激(脉冲数不同)诱发的L-LTP可能有相同的机制。 相似文献

We have been investigating the hypothesis that the membrane-permeant molecules nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide(CO) may act as retrograde messengers during long-term potentiation (LTP). Inhibitors of either NO synthase or heme oxygenase, the enzyme that produces CO, blocked induction of LTP in the CA1 region of hippocampal slices. Brief application of either NO or CO to slices produced a rapid and long-lasting increase in the size of synaptic potentials if, and only if, the application occurred at the same time as weak tetanic stimulation of the presynaptic fibers. The long-term enhancement by NO or CO was spatially restricted to synapses from active presynaptic fibers and appeared to involve mechanisms utilized by LTP, occluding the subsequent induction of LTP by strong tetanic stimulation. The enhancement by No or CO was not blocked by the NMDA receptor blocker APV, suggesting that NO and CO act downstream for the NMDA receptor. In other systems, both NO and CO produce many of their effects by activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase nd cGMP-dependent protein kinase. An inhibitor of soluble guabylyl cyclase blocked the induction of normal LTP. Conversely, membrane-permeabel analog 8-Br-cGMP produced a rapid onset and long-lasting synaptic enhancement if, and only if, it was applied at the same time as weak presynaptic stimulation. Similarly, two inhibitors of cGMP-dependent protein kinase blocked the induction of normal LTP, and a selective activator of cGMP-dependent protein kinase produced activity-dependent long-lasting synaptic enhancement. 8-Br-cGMP also produced and activity-dependent, long-lasting increase in the amplitude of evoked synaptic current between pairs of hippocampal neurons in dissociated cell culture. In addition, 8-Br-cGMP, like NO, produced a long-lasting increase in the frequency of spontaneous miniature synaptic currents. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that NO and CO, either alone or in combination, serve as retrograde messengers that produce activity-dependent presynaptic enhancement, perhaps by stimulating soluble guanbylyl cyclase and cGMP-dependent protein kinase, during LTP in hippocampus. 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Fear memory formation is thought to require dopamine, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and zinc release in the basolateral amygdala (BLA), as well as the induction of long term potentiation (LTP) in BLA principal neurons. However, no study to date has shown any relationship between these processes in the BLA. Here, we have used in vitro whole-cell patch clamp recording from BLA principal neurons to investigate how dopamine, BDNF, and zinc release may interact to modulate the LTP induction in the BLA. LTP was induced by either theta burst stimulation (TBS) protocol or spaced 5 times high frequency stimulation (5xHFS). Significantly, both TBS and 5xHFS induced LTP was fully blocked by the dopamine D1 receptor antagonist, SCH23390. LTP induction was also blocked by the BDNF scavenger, TrkB-FC, the zinc chelator, DETC, as well as by an inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), gallardin. Conversely, prior application of the dopamine reuptake inhibitor, GBR12783, or the D1 receptor agonist, SKF39393, induced robust and stable LTP in response to a sub-threshold HFS protocol (2xHFS), which does not normally induce LTP. Similarly, prior activation of TrkB receptors with either a TrkB receptor agonist, or BDNF, also reduced the threshold for LTP-induction, an effect that was blocked by the MEK inhibitor, but not by zinc chelation. Intriguingly, the TrkB receptor agonist-induced reduction of LTP threshold was fully blocked by prior application of SCH23390, and the reduction of LTP threshold induced by GBR12783 was blocked by prior application of TrkB-FC. Together, our results suggest a cellular mechanism whereby the threshold for LTP induction in BLA principal neurons is critically dependent on the level of dopamine in the extracellular milieu and the synergistic activation of postsynaptic D1 and TrkB receptors. Moreover, activation of TrkB receptors appears to be dependent on concurrent release of zinc and activation of MMPs. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo investigate the analgesic effect of amitriptyline on neuropathic pain model rats, diabetic neuropathic pain model rats and fibromyalgia model rats.MethodsThe healthy male Sprague wrote – Dawley (SD) rats were taken as the research object, and they were randomly divided into model group (group A), beside the sciatic nerve and injection of 5 mm amitriptyline group (group B), beside the sciatic nerve and injection of 10 mm amitriptyline group (group C), beside the sciatic nerve and injection of 15 mm amitriptyline group (group D), intraperitoneal injection of amitriptyline group (group E). Pain induced by selective injury of sciatic nerve branches in rats, pain induced by chronic compression of sciatic nerve, diabetic neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia were conducted to determine the pain threshold of mechanical stimulation in rats after drug administration.ResultsThe pain threshold of mechanical stimulation in the local amitriptyline group (group B, C, D) was significantly higher than that in the group A and group E at each time point after drug treatment, and the pain threshold of mechanical stimulation gradually increased with the increase of concentration. There was no statistically significant difference in mechanical stimulation pain threshold between group A and group E at each time point after drug treatment.ConclusionPara-sciatic injection of amitriptyline at different concentrations has analgesic effects on neuropathic pain, diabetic neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia in rat models, and amitriptyline directly ACTS on the local sciatic nerve. 相似文献

Production of superoxide anions in the incubation medium of hippocampal slices can induce long-term potentiation (LTP). Other reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide are able to modulate LTP and are likely to be involved in aging mechanisms. The present study explored whether intracerebro-ventricular (ICV) injection of oxidant or antioxidant molecules could affect LTP in vivo. With this aim in mind, field excitatory post-synaptic potentials (fEPSPs) elicited by stimulation of the perforant pathway were recorded in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampal formation in urethane-anesthetized rats. N-acetyl-L-cysteine, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or hypoxanthine/xanthine-oxidase solution (a superoxide producing system) were administrated by ICV injection. The control was represented by a group injected with saline ICV. Ten minutes after the injection, LTP was induced in the granule cells of the dentate gyrus by high frequency stimulation of the perforant pathway. Neither the H(2)O(2) injection or the N-acetyl-L-cysteine injection caused any variation in the fEPSP at the 10-min post-injection time point, whereas the superoxide generating system caused a significant increase in the fEPSP. Moreover, at 60 min after tetanic stimulation, all treatments attenuated LTP compared with the control group. These results show that ICV administration of oxidant or antioxidant molecules can modulate LTP in vivo in the dentate gyrus. Particularly, a superoxide producing system can induce potentiation of the synaptic response. Interestingly, ICV injection of oxidants or antioxidants prevented a full expression of LTP compared to the saline injection. 相似文献

To test the hypothesis that vasodilation occurs because of the release of a vasoactive substance after a brief muscle contraction and to determine whether acetylcholine spillover from the motor nerve is involved in contraction-induced hyperemia, tetanic muscle contractions were produced by sciatic nerve stimulation in anesthetized dogs (n = 16), instrumented with flow probes on both external iliac arteries. A 1-s stimulation of the sciatic nerve at 1. 5, 3, and 10 times motor threshold increased blood flow above baseline (P < 0.01) for 20, 25, and 30 s, respectively. Blood flow was significantly greater 1 s after the contraction ended for 3 and 10 x motor threshold (P < 0.01) and did not peak until 6-7 s after the contraction. The elevations in blood flow to a 1-s stimulation of the sciatic nerve and a 30-s train of stimulations were abolished by neuromuscular blockade (vecuronium). The delayed peak blood flow response and the prolonged hyperemia suggest that a vasoactive substance is rapidly released from the contracting skeletal muscle and can affect blood flow with removal of the mechanical constraint imposed by the contraction. In addition, acetylcholine spillover from the motor nerve is not responsible for the increase in blood flow in response to muscle contraction. 相似文献

本文描述了大鼠脊髓L_1节段后柱、后索、侧索和前角的诱发电位及其损伤后的变化,并观察了切断L_4、L_5脊神经背、腹根与横断高位颈髓对电位的影响,以进行行电位来源分析。结果可见,上述四个区域的诱发电位基本由早反应三相波和晚反应组成。分别电解损毁这些部位后,电位波幅均普遍降低,晚期反应较早反应降低明显。后柱或后索受损对电位影响最大。局部损毁后可见L_1及T_(13)水平的硬膜上电位改变明显,尤其晚反应减弱、波峰平坦。反应时值与潜伏时未见明显改变。切断L_4脊神经背、腹根后、电位基本消失。去大脑对电位未见明显影响。结果表明,刺激坐骨神经诱发的脊髓电位起源于低位腰段传入神经和脊髓内多通路的兴奋传导,在一定程度上受腹根逆行活动的影响,与大脑及脊髓下行传导束活动无直接联系。脊髓诱发电位的幅度与波形改变可作为脊髓损伤的判断指标之一。 相似文献

Clinical and immunohistochemical evidence suggests the possible significance of electrical stimulation of the secondary somatosensory cortex (S-II) as an analgesic therapy. The aim of the present study was to gain behavioral evidence for S-II stimulation-induced antinociception in conscious rats and to evaluate if the evoked antinociception can be potentiated by the neuronal NO synthase inhibitor 7-nitro-indazole. S-II stimulation produced a weak antinociception in the formalin-induced nociception test, but not in the thermal or mechanical nociception tests. This effect was remarkably potentiated by systemic administration of 7-nitro-indazole at a small dose that had no effect by itself. Thus, our data provide behavioral evidence for S-II stimulation-induced analgesia and may also predict a novel therapeutic strategy in combination with NO synthase inhibitors. 相似文献

It is well known that remifentanil, a widely used intravenous anesthesia drug, can paradoxically induce hyperalgesia. The underlying mechanisms are still not clear despite the wide investigations. The present study demonstrated that withdrawal from spinal application of remifentanil could dose-dependently induce long term potentiation (LTP) of C-fiber evoked field potentials. Remifentanil withdrawal could activate Src family kinases (SFKs) in microglia, and upregulate the expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) in spinal dorsal horn. Furthermore, pretreatment with either microglia inhibitor Minocycline, SFKs inhibitor PP2 or TNF αneutralization antibody could block remifentanil withdrawal induced spinal LTP, whereas supplement of recombinant rat TNFα to the spinal cord could reverse the inhibitory effect of Minocycline or PP2 on remifentanil withdrawal induced LTP. Our results suggested that TNFαrelease following SFKs activation in microglia is involved in the induction of LTP induced by remifentanil withdrawal. 相似文献

Contractile properties of the human diaphragm in vivo 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The mechanical properties of the human diaphragm have been studied at fractional residual capacity in normal seated subjects with closed glottis. The transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) developed in response to single shocks or to trains of stimuli at increasing frequency was approximately 3 times greater during bilateral than unilateral stimulation. During unilateral phrenic nerve stimulation the Pdi twitches increased as the interval (0-200 ms) of a preceding conditioning stimulus to the contralateral phrenic nerve was decreased suggesting that the two hemidiaphragms are mechanically coupled in series. The contraction time and half-relaxation time of single bilateral twitches as well as the Pdi-frequency relationship (5-35 Hz) during bilateral tetanic stimulation indicate that the contractile properties of the human diaphragm are intermediate between those of fast- and slow-twitch muscle fibers. The results suggest that the contractile properties of the human diaphragm are well illustrated by single bilateral twitches recorded from the relaxed muscle, but that the responses to unilateral stimulation are misleading due to distortion by abnormal changes in the muscle geometry. 相似文献
