[Abstract] Objective To investigate the modulation effects and mechanism of apelin in rats' central pain via experiment,so as to discuss the effect of apelin in central hyperalgesia and provide reliable evidence for lowering pain and thus improve clinical curative effects and life quality. Methods Syringes were used to inject relevant solutions to rats' lateral ventricle via self-made cannula.Experimental group was injected with apelin; control group A was injected with normal saline; control group B was injected with morphine hydrochloride.TFL% in the three groups were measured in 10min, 20min, 30min, 40min, 50min and 60min respectively.The conclusion was drawn based on statistical analysis. Results The pain threshold for rats in experimental group was significantly lower than that before the injection,and it reached the minimum level 30min after the injection; there was no significant change of pain threshold for rats in control group A after the injection; the pain threshold for rats in control group was higher than that before the injection, and it reached the maximum level 30min after the injection. The differences of changes of pain threshold in the three groups were statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion Apelin has the effect of significantly improving hyperalgesia, which therefore helps clinically study reasons for some analgesic drugs which fail to show effects and thus improve analgesic effects.

本研究将对大鼠尾核内的Apelin中枢痛觉调制作用及其机制进行实验研究,从而探讨Apelin在机体中枢痛敏作用,为降低机体痛觉提供可靠依据,提高临床疗效及生活质量,现报道如下。

1 资料与方法

1.1 一般资料

由上海斯莱克实验动物有限责任公司提供30只健康Wistar雄性大鼠[许可证号:SCXK(沪)2007-0005]作为本次研究对象,体重(250±20)g。按照随机方式将30只大鼠平均分为3组,即实验组、对照组A、对照组B,每组大鼠10只。endprint

1.2 方法

1.2.1 实验前准备 使用戊巴比妥钠(每千克35mg)对大鼠进行腹腔注射麻醉后,将其在脑立体定位仪上固定,给予鼠脑定向图谱(L.J.Pellegtine)对大鼠侧脑室颅骨进行钻孔,之后将自制套管埋入其中并给予牙托粉固定,于5d后实施Apelin实验。

1.2.2 实验方法 利用注射器通过自制套管对大鼠侧脑室进行相应物质注射,即实验组注射Apelin、对照组A注射生理盐水、对照组B注射盐酸吗啡,三组注射剂量均为10μL,于3min注射完毕。对大鼠痛阈采用辐射热刺激甩尾测痛法测量,痛阈指标为大鼠甩尾反应潜伏期,即tail-flick latency,简称TFL。每只大鼠均于胃部后侧1/3处选择相邻两点作为测量点,分别进行TFL测量,并选取两者平均值记录。实验前每间隔5min对其进行一次TFL测量,共测量3次取平均值作为基础痛阈,侧脑室注射药物后10、20、30、40、50、60min分别测量TFL,记录各时间段各组大鼠TFL变化情况,即TFL%=(各时间段药物作用后TFL-基础TFL)/基础TFL×100%,给予统计学分析后得出结论。

1.3 统计学方法

采用SPSS13.0软件包进行统计学分析,计量资料以()表示,采用t检验,计数资料采用x2检验,以P<0.05为差异有统计学意义。

2 结果

实验组、对照A组、对照B组大鼠侧脑室注射不同药物后,其不同时间段TFL值变化情况对比分析,具体结果见表1。

由表1可知,实验组大鼠痛阈较注射前显著降低,且于注射后30min达到最低值;对照组A大鼠较实验前痛阈无显著变化;对照组B大鼠较实验前痛阈显著上升,且注射后30min升至最高,三组大鼠痛阈变化情况对比结果具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。

3 讨论

疼痛是机体的重要生理指征,可表达机体受到伤害性刺激的相关信息,激发机体发生防御性反应 [1],机体若发生疼痛则大多伴有组织细胞损伤[2]。Peng等[3]研究表明,若机体处于长期剧烈疼痛,则对其身心均造成严重伤害。因此如何减轻甚至消除疼痛已成为广大医务工作者共同关注的问题[4]。

Apelin是一种小分子内源性神经肽[5],属于APJ内源性配体,具有重要的生理调节作用,于机体中枢神经系统中与疼痛及内源性痛觉调制系统有关的区域广泛分布,如下丘脑、海马、尾核头部及中脑导水管周围灰质等[6]。研究表明,APJ与Apelin结合后,将引起机体中某些细胞内信号因子改变,如导致细胞内钙离子浓度上升、可有效激活某些物质(如AKt、ERKs、p70S6等)、对腺苷酸环化酶具有一定抑制作用等。研究表明[7-8],PKC、PLC、NIIE、NCX、cAMP、NO、cGMP等信号分子与痛觉调制密切相关,在Apelin的生理作用机制中可能都发挥了重要作,Apelin通过上述下游信号分子表现出相应生理功能,从而在中枢神经系统中引起显著痛觉过敏(hyperalyesia,Ha),即痛敏反应。

本研究可知,大鼠侧脑室注射生理盐水后,各时间段给予痛觉刺激其机体痛阈TFL变化情况较注射前无显著变化,由此可知生理盐水对机体痛阈无明显影响作用;大鼠侧脑室注射盐酸吗啡后,各时间段给予痛觉刺激其机体痛阈TFL变化情况较注射前显著上升,由此可知盐酸吗啡对机体痛敏反应具有显著增强作用;大鼠侧脑室注射Apelin后,各时间段给予痛觉刺激其机体痛阈TFL变化情况较注射前显著下降。由此可知Apelin对机体痛敏反应具有显著降低作用[9]。导致上述结果作用机理可能为盐酸吗啡与Apelin均可导致机体中cAMP浓度下降[10],但盐酸吗啡表现为中枢镇痛作用[11],而Apelin则反之,即表现为中枢痛敏作用[12],与汤健等[13]研究结果相符。因此提示cAMP对Apelin痛敏信号传导起促进作用,但其如何进行有效促进还有待进一步研究证实[14]。

综上所述,Apelin可显著升高机体痛敏反应,因此有助于研究临床某些镇痛药物无法有效镇痛的原因以提高镇痛效果,其具体临床作用需今后工作中深入探讨[15]。
