Intrathecal infection of TRESK overexpression adenovirus to relieve neuropathic pain via inhibiting JNK activation and neuronal apoptosis / 实用医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of intrathecal injection of TRESK overexpression adenoviruson phosphorylation of JNK and apoptosis of neurons in neuropathic pain rats.Methods Seventy-two male SD rats were randomly divided into six groupsgroups C,S,NP,T,V,and NS,12 for each group.SNI was administrated to rats in groups NP,T,V and NS.TRESK adenovirus and negative virus were intrathecally injected after use of SNI in groups T and V,while equal volume of NS was injected to rats in group NS.MWT and TWL were measured at 1 day before operation(baseline,BL)and at 1,3,7 and 14 days after operation (days 1,3,7,and 14).Six rats in each group were sacrificed at D7 to determinate the expression of TRESK protein of DRG.The other rats were sacrificed at D14 to determinate neural apoptosis and the expressions of caspase3 and p-JNK of DRG.Results As compared with groups C,S and T,the expression of TRESK protein was significantly decreased at D7 in groups NP,NS and V (P＜0.05).Compared with groups C and S,MWT was significantly decreased at days 1,3,7 and 14 (P＜0.05),phosphorylation of JNK in DRG was significantly increased at D14 (P＜0.05),neuronal apoptosis rate and expressions of Caspase3 of DRG were significantly increased at D14 (P＜0.05) in groups NP,T,NS and V.Compared with groups NP,V and NS,MWT was significantly increased at time points of days 1,3,7 and 14 in group T (P＜0.05),phosphorylation of JNK of in DRG was significantly decreased at D14 in group T (P＜0.05),neuronal apoptosis rate and expression of Caspase3 of DRG were significantly decreased at D14 in group T (P＜0.05).Intrathecal injection ofpAd/CMV/VS-DEST-TRESK obviously reduced mechanical hyperalgesia,upregulated TRESK expression,and lowered JNK phosphorylation and NP in SNI rat.Conclusions Intrathecal injection of TRESK over expression adenovirus relieves NP via inhibiting JNK activation and neuronal apoptosis.
