چکیده انگلیسی
In this study, we examined whether topical treatment of glutamate receptor antagonists attenuate hyperexcitability of lumbar spinal dorsal horn neurons following low thoracic hemisection spinal cord injury in rats. Four weeks after spinal hemisection, neuronal activity in response to mechanical stimuli applied on the peripheral receptive field was significantly increased in three different phenotypes of lumbar spinal dorsal horn neurons: wide dynamic range (WDR), low threshold (LT) and high threshold (HT). Topical application of MK-801 (NMDA receptor antagonist, 50 µg) significantly attenuated the activity of WDR, but not LT and HT neurons; whereas, NBQX (AMPA receptor antagonist, 0.5 and 1 µg) significantly attenuated neuronal activity in all three phenotypes of neurons (*p < 0.05). However, MCPG (group I/II metabotropic glutamate receptor antagonist, 100 µg) had no effect. The present study, in the context of previous work, suggests that ionotropic glutamate receptor activation play critical roles in the maintenance of neuronal hyperexcitability and neuropathic “below-level” pain behavior following spinal hemisection injury.
