Abstract:
Objective To explore the role of spinal cord p300 in neuropathic pain induced by chronic constriction nerve injury (CCI) in rats.Methods Thirty two Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham and CCI groups,14 days after surgery,immuno-fluorescence staining and Western blot were used to detect distribution and expression of p300 protein.After rats were successfully implanted with an intrathecal catheter and accepted CCI surgery,another 24 rats were randomly divided into three groups (n =8):dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group,p300 acetyltransferase inhibitor C646 group,and control C37 group.Each rat were administered through the intrathecal catheter from day 7 to 14 and mechanical withdraw threshold were tested.Results (1) The p300 positive cells were detected mainly in neurons,and p300 protein in spinal cord of CCI group were significantly higher than sham group (P ＜0.05).(2) C646 alleviated significantly neuropathic pain in rats,without significant changes in pain threshold after injection of C37 and DMSO.Conclusions The p300 protein in spinal cord was involved in the development of neuropathic pain in rats,the mechanism may be referred to its acetyltransferase activity.
