Acupuncture is widely used for pain treatment in patients with osteoarthritis or low back pain, but molecular mechanisms remain largely enigmatic. In the early phase of inflammation neutrophilic chemokines direct opioid-containing neutrophils in the inflamed tissue and stimulate opioid peptide release and antinociception. In this study the molecular pathway and neuroimmune connections in comple...
This study examined antinociception induced through the activation of local opioid receptors in inflammation by endogenous opioids. Rats developed a unilateral localized inflammation upon injection of Freund's adjuvant into one hindpaw. Four to 6 d later they were subjected to cold water swim (CWS), an environmental stimulus known to activate intrinsic opioid systems. Following CWS (1 min) the ...
Injecting muscarinic receptor agonists into a specific area of the brainstem produces an antinociceptive response. The present study investigates whether direct injections of the cholinergic agonist, carbachol, into the rat nucleus reticularis gigantocellularis (NRGC)/nucleus reticularis gigantocellularis alpha (NRGCalpha) of the rostral ventrolateral medulla evokes antinociception, and then ex...
Stress can enhance and inhibit nociception depending on the situation. Thus, simply shifting the context from the elevated plus maze (EPM) which has been shown to produce stress-induced antinociception to a different environment could produce drastic and rapid changes in nociception. The present experiment tested this hypothesis by assessing nociception in rats and mice during and immediately a...
Intrathecal administration of delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta 9-THC) but not the cannabinoid agonist CP55,940 enhances the antinociception produced by morphine. In addition, CP55,940- and delta 9-THC-induced antinociception is blocked by the kappa opioid antagonist norbinaltorphimine, and both cannabinoids are cross-tolerant to kappa agonists but do not act directly at the kappa receptor. P...
Nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ), a 17-amino-acid peptide, is an endogenous agonist whose receptor is similar in sequence to mu, delta and kappa opioid receptors. It has been reported that N/OFQ can block antinociceptive effects induced by opioid receptor agonists in the radiant heat tail-flick test and warm water tail-withdrawal test. The present study was designed to see the effect of N/OFQ on ...
BACKGROUND Selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 are commonly used analgesics in various pain conditions. Although their actions are largely thought to be mediated by the blockade of prostaglandin (PG) biosynthesis, evidences suggesting endogenous opioid peptide link in spinal antinociception of COX inhibitor have been reported. We investigated the roles of opioid receptor subtypes in ...
introduction: previous studies have shown that stimulation of lateral hypothalamus (lh) produces antinociception. orexin-a (oxa) receptor is strongly expressed in the nucleus locus coeruleus (lc) and orexinergic fibers densely project from lh to lc. in this study, we assessed the role of lc and its oxa receptors in antinociceptive response induced by lh chemical stimulation in the rat. methods:...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether sex differences in cannabinoid (CB)-induced antinociception and motoric effects can be attributed to differential activation of CB1 or CB2 receptors. Rats were injected intraperitoneally with vehicle, rimonabant [5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methyl-N-1piperidinyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide (SR141716A), a putative CB1 receptor-sele...
Nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) is a heptadecapeptide that is an endogenous ligand for the N/OFQ peptide (NOP) receptor. The aim of this study was to investigate the behavioral responses of N/OFQ and its major fragment N/OFQ(2-17) in monkeys following i.t. administration. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) was used to quantify the amounts ...
