摘要
目的观察小胶质细胞对大鼠坐骨神经分支选择性损伤(SNI)所致神经病理性疼痛的影响。方法选择雄性SD大鼠64只,随机分为4组(n=16):假手术组(Sh组);模型组(SNI组);模型+米诺环素40mg/kg组(Mb组);模型+米诺环素10mg/kg组(Ms组)。其中Mb和Ms组从造模前1d起连续7d每日2次腹腔注射相应剂量的米诺环素。分别记录全组动物在术前1d及术后1,3,5,7,14d的机械缩足反射阈值(MWT)和热缩足反射持续时间(TWD)作为大鼠疼痛行为学指标;各组大鼠分别在术后1,3,5,7,14d随机选取4只处死,取脊髓,用免疫荧光的方法检测脊髓小胶质细胞标志物OX-42的表达。结果SNI组从术后1d起即出现明显MWT降低和TWD延长,与术前及Sh组术后各时点比较均有统计学差异(P<0.05);Mb组和Ms组与SNI组相应时点比较MWT降低和TWD延长程度有显著性差异(P<0.05);Mb与Ms组比较MWT降低和TWD延长程度有统计学差异(P<0.05);Mb、Ms组与SNI组比较脊髓OX-42的表达减少,并呈剂量依赖性。结论米诺环素腹腔注射可剂量依赖性的减少OX-42的表达,抑制脊髓小胶质细胞的激活,减轻痛觉超敏和痛觉过敏,提示小胶质细胞的活化参与SNI神经病理痛的形成。
Objective To investigate the effect of microglia on neuropathic pain in rat model of spared nerve injury (SNI). Methods Sixtyfour SD rats were randomly assigned to 4 groups: sham operation group (Sh group ), SNI model group (SNI group ), 40 mg/kg minocyline group (Mb group),and 10 mg/kg minocyline group (Ms group). The rats in Mb and Ms groups were intraperitoneally injected with minocyline twice daily,beginning from 1 day before nerve transection and lasting for 7 days. The mechnical withdraw threshold (MWT) and thermal withdraw duration (TWD) were recorded 1 day before surgery and 1,3,5,7,and 14 days after surgery. The expression of OX-42 in spinal microglia was detected by immunofluorescence. Results MWL decreased and TWL prolonged significantly since 1 day after surgery in SNI gToup, and the differences in MWL and TWL were significant between Sh and SNI groups at each time point (P 〈 0.05). There were significant differences in MWT and TWL between Mb and SNI groups, between Ms and SNI groups, and between Mb and Ms groups (P 〈 0.05). Compared with SIN group,the expression of OX-42 decreased in Mb and Ms groups in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion The minocyfine injected intraperitoneally could decrease the expression of OX-42 in a dose-dependent manner,inhibit the activation of microglia, and alleviate mechanical hyperalgesia and thermal hyperalgesia. It suggests that activated microglia participates in the formation of neuropathic pain after SNI.
