Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that acute colonic inflammation leads to an increase in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neuronal excitability. However, the signaling elements implicated in this hyperexcitability have yet to be fully unraveled. Extracellular adenosine 5’-triphosphate (ATP) is a well-recognized sensory signaling molecule that enhances the nociceptive response after inflammation through activation of P2X3 receptors, which are expressed mainly by peripheral sensory neurons. The aim of this study is to continue investigating how P2X3 affects neuronal hypersensitivity in an acute colitis animal model. To achieve this, DNBS (Dinitrobenzene sulfonic acid; 200 mg/kg) was intrarectally administered to C57BL/6 mice, and inflammation severity was assessed according to the following parameters: weight loss, macroscopic and microscopic scores. Perforated patch clamp technique was used to evaluate neuronal excitability via measuring changes in rheobase and action potential firing in T8-L1 DRG neurons. A-317491, a well-established potent and selective P2X3 receptor antagonist, served to dissect their contribution to recorded responses. Protein expression of P2X3 receptors in DRG was evaluated by western blotting and immunofluorescence. Four days post-DNBS administration, colons were processed for histological analyses of ulceration, crypt morphology, goblet cell density, and immune cell infiltration. DRG neurons from DNBS-treated mice were significantly more excitable compared with controls; these changes correlated with increased P2X3 receptor expression. Furthermore, TNF-α mRNA expression was also significantly higher in inflamed colons compared to controls. Incubation of control DRG neurons with TNF-α resulted in similar cell hyperexcitability as measured in DNBS-derived neurons. The selective P2X3 receptor antagonist, A-317491, blocked the TNF-α-induced effect. These results support the hypothesis that TNF-α enhances colon-innervating DRG neuron excitability via modulation of P2X3 receptor activity.

Abstract
The periaqueductal gray (PAG) is a complex mesencephalic structure involved in the integration and execution of active and passive self-protective behaviors against imminent threats, such as immobility or flight from a predator. PAG activity is also associated with the integration of responses against physical discomfort (e.g., anxiety, fear, pain, and disgust) which occurs prior an imminent attack, but also during withdrawal from drugs such as morphine and cocaine. The PAG sends and receives projections to and from other well-documented nuclei linked to the phenomenon of drug addiction including: (i) the ventral tegmental area; (ii) extended amygdala; (iii) medial prefrontal cortex; (iv) pontine nucleus; (v) bed nucleus of the stria terminalis; and (vi) hypothalamus. Preclinical models have suggested that the PAG contributes to the modulation of anxiety, fear, and nociception (all of which may produce physical discomfort) linked with chronic exposure to drugs of abuse. Withdrawal produced by the major pharmacological classes of drugs of abuse is mediated through actions that include participation of the PAG. In support of this, there is evidence of functional, pharmacological, molecular. And/or genetic alterations in the PAG during the impulsive/compulsive intake or withdrawal from a drug. Due to its small size, it is difficult to assess the anatomical participation of the PAG when using classical neuroimaging techniques, so its physiopathology in drug addiction has been underestimated and poorly documented. In this theoretical review, we discuss the involvement of the PAG in drug addiction mainly via its role as an integrator of responses to the physical discomfort associated with drug withdrawal.

Abstract
Extrasynaptic α5 -subunit containing GABAA (α5 -GABAA ) receptors participate in chronic pain. Previously, we reported a sex difference in the action of α5 -GABAA receptors in dysfunctional pain. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. The aim of this study was to examine this sexual dimorphism in neuropathic rodents and the mechanisms involved. Female and male Wistar rats or ICR mice were subjected to nerve injury followed by α5 -GABAA receptor inverse agonist intrathecal administration, L-655,708. The drug produced an antiallodynic effect in nerve-injured female rats and mice, and a lower effect in males. We hypothesized that changes in α5 -GABAA receptor, probably influenced by hormonal and epigenetic status, might underlie this sex difference. Thus, we performed qPCR and western blot. Nerve injury increased α5 -GABAA mRNA and protein in female dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and decreased them in DRG and spinal cord of males. To investigate the hormonal influence over α5 -GABAA receptor actions, we performed nerve injury to ovariectomized rats and reconstituted them with 17β-estradiol (E2). Ovariectomy abrogated L-655,708 antiallodynic effect and E2 restored it. Ovariectomy decreased α5 -GABAA receptor and estrogen receptor α protein in DRG of neuropathic female rats, while E2 enhanced them. Since DNA methylation might contribute to α5 -GABAA receptor down-regulation in males, we examined CpG island DNA methylation of α5 -GABAA receptor coding gene through pyrosequencing. Nerve injury increased methylation in male, but not female rats. Pharmacological inhibition of DNA methyltransferases increased α5 -GABAA receptor and enabled L-655,708 antinociceptive effect in male rats. These results suggest that α5 -GABAA receptor is a suitable target to treat chronic pain in females.

Abstract
High voltage-activated (HVA) Ca2+ (CaV) channels are oligomeric complexes formed by an ion-conducting main subunit (Cavα1) and at least two auxiliary subunits (Cavβ and CaVα2δ). It has been reported that the expression of CaVα2δ1 increases in the dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) of animals with mechanical allodynia, and that the transcription factor Sp1 regulates the expression of the auxiliary subunit. Hence, the main aim of this work was to investigate the role of Sp1 as a molecular determinant of the exacerbated expression of CaVα2δ-1 in the nerve ligation-induced model of mechanical allodynia. Our results show that ligation of L5/L6 spinal nerves (SNL) produced allodynia and increased the expression of Sp1 and CaVα2δ-1 in the DRGs. Interestingly, intrathecal administration of the Sp1 inhibitor mithramycin A (Mth) prevented allodynia and decreased the expression of Sp1 and CaVα2δ-1. Likewise, electrophysiological recordings showed that incubation with Mth decreased Ca2+ current density in the DRG neurons, acting mostly on HVA channels. These results suggest that L5/L6 SNL produces mechanical allodynia and increases the expression of the transcription factor Sp1 and the subunit CaVα2δ-1 in the DRGs, while Mth decreases mechanical allodynia and Ca2+ currents through HVA channels in sensory neurons by reducing the functional expression of the CaVα2δ-1 subunit.

Abstract
Nociceptors, sensory neurons in the DRG that detect damaging or potentially damaging stimuli, are key drivers of neuropathic pain. Injury to these neurons causes activation of translation regulation signaling, including the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and mitogen-activated protein kinase interacting kinase (MNK) eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4E pathways. This is a mechanism driving changes in excitability of nociceptors that is critical for the generation of chronic pain states; however, the mRNAs that are translated to lead to this plasticity have not been elucidated. To address this gap in knowledge, we used translating ribosome affinity purification in male and female mice to comprehensively characterize mRNA translation in Scn10a-positive nociceptors in chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CIPN) caused by paclitaxel treatment. This unbiased method creates a new resource for the field, confirms many findings in the CIPN literature and also find extensive evidence for new target mechanisms that may cause CIPN. We provide evidence that an underlying mechanism of CIPN is sustained mTORC1 activation driven by MNK1-eIF4E signaling. RagA, a GTPase controlling mTORC1 activity, is identified as a novel target of MNK1-eIF4E signaling. This demonstrates a novel translation regulation signaling circuit wherein MNK1-eIF4E activity drives mTORC1 via control of RagA translation. CIPN and RagA translation are strongly attenuated by genetic ablation of eIF4E phosphorylation, MNK1 elimination or treatment with the MNK inhibitor eFT508. We identify a novel translational circuit for the genesis of neuropathic pain caused by chemotherapy with important implications for therapeutics.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Neuropathic pain affects up to 10% of the population, but its underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood, leading to poor treatment outcomes. We used translating ribosome affinity purification technology to create a comprehensive translational profile of DRG nociceptors in naive mice and at the peak of neuropathic pain induced by paclitaxel treatment. We reveal new insight into how mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 is activated in neuropathic pain pointing to a key role of MNK1-eIF4E-mediated translation of a complex of mRNAs that control mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 signaling at the surface of the lysosome. We validate this finding using genetic and pharmacological techniques. Our work strongly suggests that MNK1-eIF4E signaling drives CIPN and that a drug in human clinical trials, eFT508, may be a new therapeutic for neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Background: Marijuana extracts (cannabinoids) have been used for several millennia for pain treatment. Regarding the site of action, cannabinoids are highly promiscuous molecules, but only two cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) have been deeply studied and classified. Thus, therapeutic actions, side effects and pharmacological targets for cannabinoids have been explained based on the pharmacology of cannabinoid CB1/CB2 receptors. However, the accumulation of confusing and sometimes contradictory results suggests the existence of other cannabinoid receptors. Different orphan proteins (e.g., GPR18, GPR55, GPR119, etc.) have been proposed as putative cannabinoid receptors. According to their expression, GPR18 and GPR55 could be involved in sensory transmission and pain integration. Methods: This article reviews select relevant information about the potential role of GPR18 and GPR55 in the pathophysiology of pain. Results: This work summarized novel data supporting that, besides cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors, GPR18 and GPR55 may be useful for pain treatment. Conclusion: There is evidence to support an antinociceptive role for GPR18 and GPR55.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral diabetic neuropathy can be painful and its symptoms include hyperalgesia, allodynia and spontaneous pain. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is involved in diabetes-induced hyperalgesia and allodynia. However, the molecular target through which H2S induces hyperalgesia in diabetic animals is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the possible involvement of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in H2S-induced hyperalgesia in diabetic rats. RESULTS Streptozotocin (STZ) injection produced hyperglycemia in rats. Intraplantar injection of NaHS (an exogenous donor of H2S, 3-100 µg/paw) induced hyperalgesia, in a time-dependent manner, in formalin-treated diabetic rats. NaHS-induced hyperalgesia was partially prevented by local intraplantar injection of capsazepine (0.3-3 µg/paw), HC-030031 (100-316 µg/paw) and SKF-96365 (10-30 µg/paw) blockers, at 21 days post-STZ injection. At the doses used, these blockers did not modify formalin-induced nociception. Moreover, capsazepine (0.3-30 µg/paw), HC-030031 (100-1000 µg/paw) and SKF-96365 (10-100 µg/paw) reduced formalin-induced nociception in diabetic rats. Contralateral injection of the highest doses used did not modify formalin-induced flinching behavior. Hyperglycemia, at 21 days, also increased protein expression of cystathionine-β-synthase enzyme (CBS) and TRPC6, but not TRPA1 nor TRPV1, channels in dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Repeated injection of NaHS enhanced CBS and TRPC6 expression, but hydroxylamine (HA) prevented the STZ-induced increase of CBS protein. In addition, daily administration of SKF-96365 diminished TRPC6 protein expression, whereas NaHS partially prevented the decrease of SKF-96365-induced TRPC6 expression. Concordantly, daily intraplantar injection of NaHS enhanced, and HA prevented STZ-induced intraepidermal fiber loss, respectively. CBS was expressed in small- and medium-sized cells of DRG and co-localized with TRPV1, TRPA1 and TRPC6 in IB4-positive neurons. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that H2S leads to hyperalgesia in diabetic rats through activation of TRPV1, TRPA1 and TRPC channels and, subsequent intraepidermal fibers loss. CBS enzyme inhibitors or TRP-channel blockers could be useful for treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
To determine the role of anion exchanger 3 (AE3) in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) in nerve injury-induced chronic nociception in the rat.
Methods
Spared nerve injury (SNI) was used to induce neuropathic pain. Von Frey filaments and Hargreaves test were used to assess tactile allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia, respectively. Drugs were given by intrathecal administration. Western blotting was used to determine AE3 expression in DRG.
Key findings
SNI produced long-lasting mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia. AE3 was found in DRG of sham-operated rats. SNI enhanced baseline AE3 expression in L4 and L5 DRGs at days 7 and 14, respectively. In contrast, SNI did not affect AE3 expression in L6 DRG. AE3 expression returned to baseline levels 21 days after SNI. Intrathecal 4,4′-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid (DIDS) (5–50 μg) pretreatment prevented SNI-induced allodynia and, at a lesser extent, hyperalgesia. Moreover, DIDS (50 μg) reduced SNI-induced AE3 upregulation in L4, but not L5, DRGs. Intrathecal DIDS (5–50 μg) or anti-AE3 antibody (1 μg), but not vehicle, post-treatment (6 days) partially reversed SNI-induced allodynia and hyperalgesia. DIDS or anti-AE3 antibody post-treatment diminished SNI-induced AE3 upregulation in L4 and L5 DRGs.
Conclusions
Data suggest that AE3 is present in DRG and contributes to mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia in neuropathic rats.

Abstract
The role of P2X2/3, P2X3, P2X4 or P2X7 and P2Y2, P2Y6, and P2Y12 receptors in neuropathic pain has been widely studied. In contrast, the role of P2Y1 receptors is scarcely studied. In this study we assessed the role of P2Y1 receptors in several neuropathic pain models in the rat. Furthermore, we analyzed the expression of P2Y1 receptors in the ipsilateral dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and dorsal part of the spinal cord during the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain. We also determined the effect of the P2Y1 receptor antagonist on the expression of P2Y1 receptors. Chronic constriction injury (CCI), spared nerve injury (SNI) or spinal nerve ligation (SNL) produced tactile allodynia from 1 to 14 days after nerve injury. CCI, SNI and SNL enhanced expression of P2Y1 receptors in DRG but not in the dorsal part of the spinal cord at 1-3 days after injury. Intrathecal injection of the selective P2Y1 receptor antagonist MRS2500, but not vehicle, reduced tactile allodynia in rats 1-3 days after CCI, SNI, or SNL. Moreover, intrathecal injection of MRS2500 (at day 1 or 3) reduced neuropathy-induced up-regulation of P2Y1 receptors expression. Intrathecal injection of MRS2500 lost most of the antiallodynic effect when injected 14 days after injury. At this time, MRS2500 did not modify nerve-injury-induced P2Y1 receptors up-regulation. Our results suggest that P2Y1 receptors are localized in DRG, are up-regulated by nerve injury and play a pronociceptive role in development and, to a lesser extent, maintenance of neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Serotonin (5-HT) participates in pain modulation by interacting with different 5-HT receptors. The role of 5-HT5A receptor in neuropathic pain has not previously studied. The purpose of this study was to investigate: A) the role of 5-HT5A receptors in rats subjected to spinal nerve injury; B) the expression of 5-HT5A receptors in dorsal spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Neuropathic pain was induced by L5/L6 spinal nerve ligation. Tactile allodynia in neuropathic rats was assessed with von Frey filaments. Western blot methodology was used to determine 5-HT5A receptor protein expression. Intrathecal administration (on day 14th) of 5-HT (10-100 nmol) or 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT, 0.03-0.3 nmol) reversed nerve injury-induced tactile allodynia. Intrathecal non-selective (methiothepin, 0.1-0.8 nmol) and selective (SB-699551, 1-10 nmol) 5-HT5A receptor antagonists reduced, by ~60% and ~25%, respectively, the antiallodynic effect of 5-HT (100 nmol) or 5-CT (0.3 nmol). Moreover, both selective 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B/1D receptor antagonists, WAY-100635 (0.3-1 nmol) and GR-127935 (0.3-1 nmol), respectively, partially diminished the antiallodynic effect of 5-HT or 5-CT by about 30%. Injection of antagonists, by themselves, did not affect allodynia. 5-HT5A receptors were expressed in the ipsilateral dorsal lumbar spinal cord and DRG and L5/L6 spinal nerve ligation did not modify 5-HT5A receptor protein expression in those sites. Results suggest that 5-HT5A receptors reduce pain processing in the spinal cord and that 5-HT and 5-CT reduce neuropathic pain through activation of 5-HT5A and 5-HT1A/1B/1D receptors. These receptors could be an important part of the descending pain inhibitory system.

Abstract
Background Calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCCs) activation induces membrane depolarization by increasing chloride efflux in primary sensory neurons that can facilitate action potential generation. Previous studies suggest that CaCCs family members bestrophin-1 and anoctamin-1 are involved in inflammatory pain. However, their role in neuropathic pain is unclear. In this investigation we assessed the involvement of these CaCCs family members in rats subjected to the L5/L6 spinal nerve ligation. In addition, anoctamin-1 and bestrophin-1 mRNA and protein expression in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and spinal cord was also determined in the presence and absence of selective inhibitors. Results L5/L6 spinal nerve ligation induced mechanical tactile allodynia. Intrathecal administration of non-selective CaCCs inhibitors (NPPB, 9-AC and NFA) dose-dependently reduced tactile allodynia. Intrathecal administration of selective CaCCs inhibitors (T16Ainh-A01 and CaCCinh-A01) also dose-dependently diminished tactile allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia. Anoctamin-1 and bestrophin-1 mRNA and protein were expressed in the dorsal spinal cord and DRG of naïve, sham and neuropathic rats. L5/L6 spinal nerve ligation rose mRNA and protein expression of anoctamin-1, but not bestrophin-1, in the dorsal spinal cord and DRG from day 1 to day 14 after nerve ligation. In addition, repeated administration of CaCCs inhibitors (T16Ainh-A01, CaCCinh-A01 or NFA) or anti-anoctamin-1 antibody prevented spinal nerve ligation-induced rises in anoctamin-1 mRNA and protein expression. Following spinal nerve ligation, the compound action potential generation of putative C fibers increased while selective CaCCs inhibitors (T16Ainh-A01 and CaCCinh-A01) attenuated such increase. Conclusions There is functional anoctamin-1 and bestrophin-1 expression in rats at sites related to nociceptive processing. Blockade of these CaCCs suppresses compound action potential generation in putative C fibers and lessens established tactile allodynia. As CaCCs activity contributes to neuropathic pain maintenance, selective inhibition of their activity may function as a tool to generate analgesia in nerve injury pain states.

Abstract
Preclinical Research This work was performed to assess the effects of intrathecal serotonin 2B (5-HT2B ) receptor antagonists in rats with neuropathic pain. With RS-127445, its effect was also determined on 5-HT2B receptor expression. Neuropathic pain was induced by L5/L6 spinal nerve ligation. Western blotting was used to determine 5-HT2B receptor expression. Dose-response curves with the 5-HT2B receptor antagonists 2-amino-4-(4-fluoronaphth-1-yl)-6-isopropylpyridine (RS-127445, 1-100 nmol) and 1-[(2-chloro-3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methyl]-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-6-methyl-1H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole hydrochloride (LY-266097, 1-100 nmol) were performed in rats. Tactile allodynia of the left hind paw (ipsilateral) was assessed for 8 h after compound administration. Intrathecal injection of the 5-HT2B receptor antagonists RS-127445 and LY-266097 diminished spinal nerve ligation-induced allodynia. In contrast, intrathecal injection of the 5-HT2 receptor agonist (±)-2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine hydrochloride (DOI, 10 nmol) did not modify tactile allodynia induced by nerve ligation. L5/L6 nerve ligation increased expression of the 5-HT2B receptors in the ipsilateral, but not contralateral, dorsal root ganglia. Furthermore, nerve injury also enhanced 5-HT2B receptor expression in the ipsilateral dorsal part of the spinal cord. Intrathecal treatment with RS-127445 (100 nmol) diminished spinal nerve injury-induced increased expression of 5-HT2B receptors in dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord. Our results imply that spinal 5-HT2B receptors are present on sites related to nociception and participate in neuropathic pain. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Metabotropic P2Y receptors subfamily consists of eight functional mammalian receptors. Specifically, P2Y1, P2Y6 and P2Y11 receptors have been described in the sensory nervous system, but their participation, at peripheral level, in behavioral pain models is scarcely understood. This study assessed the role of peripheral P2Y1, P2Y6 and P2Y11 receptors in formalin-induced inflammatory pain. Ipsilateral, but not contralateral peripheral pre-treatment with the endogenous P2Y1 (ADP, 100-1000nmol/paw), P2Y6 (UDP, 180-300nmol/paw) and P2Y11 (ATP, 100-1000nmol/paw), or selective P2Y1 (MRS2365, 0.1-10nmol/paw), P2Y6 (PSB0474, 0.1-0.10pmol/paw) and P2Y11 (NF546, 0.3-3nmol/paw) receptor agonists increased 0.5% formalin-induced flinching behavior. Concordantly, peripheral pre-treatment with the selective P2Y1 (MRS2500, 0.01-10pmol/paw), P2Y6 (MRS2578, 3-30nmol/paw) and P2Y11 (NF340, 1-10nmol/paw) receptor antagonists significantly decreased 1% formalin-induced flinching behavior. Furthermore, the pronociceptive effect of ADP (100nmol/paw) or MRS2365 (10nmol/paw), UDP (300nmol/paw) or PSB0474 (10pmol/paw) and ATP (1000nmol/paw) or NF546 (3nmol/paw) was blocked by the selective P2Y1 (MRS2500, 0.01nmol/paw), P2Y6 (MRS2578, 3nmol/paw), and P2Y11 (NF340, 1nmol/paw) receptor antagonists, respectively. Western blot analysis confirmed the presence of P2Y1 (66kDa), P2Y6 (36kDa) and P2Y11 (75kDa) receptors in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and sciatic nerve. Results suggest that peripheral activation of P2Y1, P2Y6 and P2Y11 receptors plays a pronociceptive role in formalin-induced pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the present study we determined the role of transient receptor potential V1 channel (TRPV1) and acid-sensing ion channel 3 (ASIC3) in chronic nociception. METHODS 1% formalin was used to produce long-lasting secondary allodynia and hyperalgesia in rats. Western blot was used to determine TRPV1 and ASIC3 expression in dorsal root ganglia. RESULTS Peripheral ipsilateral, but not contralateral, pre-treatment (-10min) with the TRPV1 receptor antagonists capsazepine (0.03-0.3μM/paw) and A-784168 (0.01-1μM/paw) prevented 1% formalin-induced secondary mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia in the ipsilateral and contralateral paws. Likewise, peripheral ipsilateral, but not contralateral, pre-treatment with the non-selective and selective ASIC3 blocker benzamil (0.1-10μM/paw) and APETx2 (0.02-2μM/paw), respectively, prevented 1% formalin-induced secondary mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia in both paws. Peripheral ipsilateral post-treatment (day 6 after formalin injection) with capsazepine (0.03-0.3μM/paw) and A-784168 (0.01-1μM/paw) reversed 1% formalin-induced secondary mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia in both paws. In addition, peripheral ipsilateral post-treatment with benzamil (0.1-10μM/paw) and APETx2 (0.02-2μM/paw), respectively, reversed 1% formalin-induced secondary mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia in both paws. TRPV1 and ASIC3 proteins were expressed in dorsal root ganglion in normal conditions, and 1% formalin injection increased expression of both proteins in this location at 1 and 6 days compared to naive rats. CONCLUSIONS Data suggest that TRPV1 and ASIC3 participate in the development and maintenance of long-lasting secondary allodynia and hyperalgesia induced by formalin in rats. The use of TRPV1 and ASIC3 antagonists by peripheral administration could prove useful to treat chronic pain.

Abstract
We determined the role of chloride-bicarbonate anion exchanger 3 in formalin-induced acute and chronic rat nociception. Formalin (1%) produced acute (first phase) and tonic (second phase) nociceptive behaviors (flinching and licking/lifting) followed by long-lasting evoked secondary mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia in both paws. Local peripheral pre-treatment with the chloride-bicarbonate anion exchanger inhibitors 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid and 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanato-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonic acid prevented formalin-induced nociception mainly during phase 2. These drugs also prevented in a dose-dependent fashion long-lasting evoked secondary mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia in both paws. Furthermore, post-treatment (on day 1 or 6) with 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid reversed established hypersensitivity. Anion exchanger 3 was expressed in dorsal root ganglion neurons and it co-localized with neuronal nuclei protein (NeuN), substance P and purinergic P2X3 receptors. Furthermore, Western blot analysis revealed a band of about 85 kDa indicative of anion exchanger 3 protein expression in dorsal root ganglia of naïve rats, which was enhanced at 1 and 6 days after 1% formalin injection. On the other hand, this rise failed to occur during 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid exposure. These results suggest that anion exchanger 3 is present in dorsal root ganglia and participates in the development and maintenance of short and long-lasting formalin-induced nociception.

Abstract
Background The participation of spinal P2X receptors in neuropathic pain is well recognized. However, the role of P2Y receptors has been less studied. The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of spinal P2Y6,11 receptors following peripheral nerve damage induced by spinal nerve ligation. In addition, we determined the expression of P2Y6,11 receptors in the dorsal spinal cord in presence of the selective P2Y6,11 receptors antagonists. Furthermore, we evaluated the participation of spinal microglia and astrocytes in the pronociceptive role of P2Y6,11 receptors. Results Spinal administration of the selective P2Y6 (MRS2578, 10–100 μM) and P2Y11 (NF340, 0.3–30 μM) receptor antagonists reduced tactile allodynia in spinal nerve ligated rats. Nerve injury increased the expression of P2Y6,11 receptors at 7, 14 and 21 days after injury. Furthermore, intrathecal administration of MRS2578 (100 μM/day) and NF340 (30 μM/day) for 3 days significantly reduced spinal nerve injury-induced increase in P2Y6,11 receptors expression, respectively. Spinal treatment (on day 14 after injury) with minocycline (100 μg/day) or fluorocitrate (1 nmol/day) for 7 days reduced tactile allodynia and spinal nerve injury-induced up-regulation in Iba-1 and GFAP, respectively. In addition, minocycline reduced nerve injury-induced up-regulation in P2Y6,11 receptors whereas that fluorocitrate diminished P2Y11, but not P2Y6, receptors up-regulation. Intrathecal treatment (on day 21 after injury) with the selective P2Y6 (PSB0474, 3–30 μM) and P2Y11 (NF546, 1–10 μM) receptor agonists produced remarkable tactile allodynia in nerve ligated rats previously treated with minocycline or fluorocitrate for 7 days. Conclusions Our data suggest that spinal P2Y6 is present in spinal microglia while P2Y11 receptors are present in both spinal microglia and astrocytes, and both receptors are up-regulated in rats subjected to spinal nerve injury. In addition, our data suggest that the spinal P2Y6 and P2Y11 receptors participate in the maintenance of neuropathic pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND l-Kynurenine has antinociceptive effects in acute and inflammatory pain. This study determined the effect of l-kynurenine and its metabolite (kynurenic acid) on rats subjected to neuropathic pain. METHODS L5/L6 spinal nerve ligation induced tactile allodynia as measured with von Frey filaments using the up-down method. High-performance liquid chromatography and Western blot analysis determined kynurenic acid levels and expression of kynurenine amino transferase II (KAT II), respectively. RESULTS l-Kynurenine (50-200 mg/kg, i.p.) or probenecid (100 mg/kg, i.p.) did not affect allodynia in neuropathic rats. In contrast, l-kynurenine (50-200 mg/kg, i.p.) in combination with probenecid (100 mg/kg, i.p.), an inhibitor of organic anion transport, reversed allodynia. Furthermore, intrathecal kynurenic acid (1-30 μg) reversed allodynia. Probenecid (100 mg/kg, i.p.) supplementation enhanced the maximal antiallodynic effect of intrathecal kynurenic acid (10 μg). Only the combined administration of l-kynurenine (200 mg/kg)/probenecid (100 mg/kg) increased the kynurenic acid concentration in cerebrospinal fluid. KAT II is expressed in dorsal root ganglia and dorsal spinal cord. KAT II expression was unchanged by the spinal nerve ligation or l-kynurenine/probenecid combination. The kynurenine/probenecid combination did not affect motor activity. CONCLUSIONS l-Kynurenine produces its antiallodynic effect in the central nervous system through kynurenic acid. This effect may result from blockade of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors. KAT II is expressed in dorsal root ganglion and dorsal spinal cord. Combined l-kynurenine and probenecid therapy has the potential to reduce neuropathic pain in humans.

Abstract
The role of 5-HT₂A/₂B/₂C receptors in formalin-induced secondary allodynia and hyperalgesia in rats was assessed. Formalin produced acute nociceptive behaviors (flinching and licking/lifting) followed by long-term secondary mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia. Pre-treatment for five consecutive days with compound 48/80 (1, 3, 10, 10, and 10 μg/paw) prevented formalin-induced secondary allodynia and hyperalgesia. Ipsilateral, but not contralateral, peripheral pre-treatment (nmol/paw) with the 5-HT₂ receptor agonist DOI (3-30), 5-HT (10-100) or fluoxetine (0.3-3) significantly increased 0.5% formalin-induced secondary allodynia and hyperalgesia in both paws. The pronociceptive effect of DOI (10 nmol/paw), 5-HT (100 nmol/paw) and fluoxetine (1 nmol/paw) was blocked by selective 5-HT₂A (ketanserin), 5-HT₂B (RS-127445), and 5-HT₂C (RS-102221) receptor antagonists. Furthermore, ipsilateral pre-treatment (nmol/paw) with ketanserin (1, 10, and 100), RS-127445 (0.01, 0.1 and 1) or RS-102221 (1, 10 and 100) prevented while post-treatment reversed 1% formalin-induced secondary allodynia and hyperalgesia in both paws. In marked contrast, contralateral injection of the greatest tested dose of 5-HT₂A/₂B/₂C receptor antagonists did not modify long-lasting secondary allodynia and hyperalgesia. These results suggest that 5-HT released from mast cells after formalin injection sensitizes primary afferent neurons via 5-HT₂A/₂B/₂C receptors leading to the development and maintenance of secondary allodynia and hyperalgesia.

Abstract
The role of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)(4), 5-HT(6), and 5-HT(7) receptors in formalin-induced secondary allodynia and hyperalgesia in rats was assessed. Formalin produced acute nociceptive behaviors (flinching and licking/lifting) followed by long-term secondary mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia. Pretreatment (-10min) with cromoglycate (195-1950nmol/paw) partially inhibited acute nociceptive behaviors and completely prevented secondary allodynia and hyperalgesia on day 6 after injection. Ipsilateral peripheral pretreatment with the selective 5-HT(4) (ML-10302, 1-100nmol/paw), 5-HT(6) (EMD-386088, 0.001-0.01nmol/paw), and 5-HT(7) (LP-12, 0.01-100nmol/paw) receptor agonists significantly increased secondary allodynia and hyperalgesia in both paws. In contrast, ipsilateral peripheral pretreatment with the selective 5-HT(4) (GR-125487, 1-100nmol/paw), 5-HT(6) (SB-258585, 0.00001-0.001nmol/paw), and 5-HT(7) (SB-269970, 0.1-10nmol/paw) receptor antagonists significantly prevented formalin-induced secondary allodynia and hyperalgesia in both paws. The pronociceptive effect of ML-10302 (100nmol/paw), EMD-386088 (0.01nmol/paw), and LP-12 (100nmol/paw) were completely prevented by GR-125487 (5-HT(4) antagonist, 1nmol/paw), SB-258585 (5-HT(6) antagonist, 0.00001nmol/paw), and SB-269970 (5-HT(7), antagonist, 0.01nmol/paw), respectively. Ipsilateral peripheral posttreatment with cromoglycate or GR-125487 (1-100nmol/paw), SB-258585 (0.001-0.1nmol/paw), and SB-269970 (0.1-10nmol/paw) reversed formalin-induced secondary allodynia and hyperalgesia in both paws. Results suggest that a barrage of afferent input induced by 5-HT at peripheral 5-HT(4), 5-HT(6), and 5-HT(7) receptors participate in the development and maintenance of formalin-induced long-term secondary allodynia and hyperalgesia in the rat. 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) released in peripheral tissues after formalin injection sensitized primary afferent neurons via 5-HT(4), 5-HT(6), and 5-HT(7) receptors, leading to development and maintenance of secondary allodynia and hyperalgesia.
