Reserpine causes biphasic nociceptive sensitivity alteration in conjunction with brain biogenic amine tones in rats
چکیده انگلیسی
The present study investigated the precise relationship between brain biogenic amine (dopamine, noradrenaline, and serotonin) tones and nociception. Nociceptive sensitivities to multimodal (muscle pressure, tactile, cold, and heat) stimuli were assessed in acute phase (up to 24 h after reserpine or tetrabenazine injection) and chronic phase (on day 2 or later) in rats. A single injection of reserpine (3 mg/kg s.c.) significantly decreased biogenic amines in the spinal cord (SC), thalamus (THA), and prefrontal cortex (PFC) in both acute and chronic phases, but significantly increased a dopamine metabolite 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) in the SC and a serotonin metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in the SC and THA in acute phase. The content of all biogenic amine metabolites was at low level in chronic phase. Animals exhibited hypersensitivities to tactile and heat stimuli and hyposensitivity to muscle pressure stimulus in acute phase. In chronic phase, they manifested hypersensitivities to all modes of stimuli. Tetrabenazine (20 mg/kg i.p.) significantly decreased brain biogenic amines for a short time, although it did not significantly affect the nociceptive sensitivities. In conclusion, a single injection of reserpine causes a biphasic alteration of nociceptive sensitivities, which is in conjunction with the dynamic change of brain biogenic amine tones, in rats. Cold and heat hypersensitivities in addition to mechanical ones are induced by the reserpine treatment. Sustained modification of brain biogenic amine tones would be critical to induce a robust change in nociceptive sensitivities based on the different effects between reserpine and tetrabenazine.
