ERK potentiates p38 in central sensitization induced by traumatic occlusion
چکیده انگلیسی
This study was to investigate the role of p38 activation via ERK1/2 phosphorylation in neurons and microglia of the spinal trigeminal subnucleus caudalis (Vc) in the promotion of orofacial hyperalgesia induced by unilateral anterior crossbite (UAC) traumatic occlusion in adult rats. U0126, a p-ERK1/2 inhibitor, was injected intracisternally before UAC implant. The effects of the U0126 injection were compared to those following the injection of SB203580, a p-p38 inhibitor. Mechanical hyperalgesia was evaluated via pressure pain threshold measurements. Brain stem tissues were processed for a Western blot analysis to evaluate the activation of ERK1/2 and p38. Double immunofluorescence was also performed to observe the expression of p-ERK1/2 and p-p38 in neurons (labeled by NeuN) and microglia (labeled by OX42). The data showed that UAC caused orofacial hyperalgia ipsilaterally on d1 to d7, peaking on d3 (P < 0.05). An upregulation of p-ERK1/2 was observed in the ipsilateral Vc on d1 to d3, peaking on d1. An upregulation of p-p38 was also observed on d1 to d7, peaking on d3 (P < 0.05). p-ERK1/2 primarily co-localized with NeuN and, to a lesser extent, with OX42, while p-p38 co-localized with both NeuN and OX42. Pretreatment with U0126 prevented the upregulation of both p-ERK1/2 and p-p38. Similarly to an intracisternal injection of SB203580, U0126 pretreatment attenuated the UAC-induced orofacial hyperalgesia. These data indicate that UAC caused orofacial hyperalgesia by inducing central sensitization via the activation of ERK1/2 and p38 in both neurons and microglia in the Vc, potentially impacting the effects of p-ERK1/2 during p38 activation.
