摘要
目的:观察尼氟灭酸(niflumic acid,NFA)干预后,TMEM16A在坐骨神经压榨性损伤(chronic constriction injury,CCI)模型鼠背根神经节(dorsal root ganglion,DRG)神经元上的表达,研究TMEM16A是否参与神经病理性疼痛。方法:制备CCI模型,热板实验检测热缩足反射潜伏期(thermal withdrawal latency,TWL)。在模型制备后第1 d开始以腹腔注射形式给予不同浓度的NFA干预14 d,取大鼠L4-6 DRG神经元进行实验。免疫荧光实验明确TMEM16A在DRG神经元中的分布;运用RTPCR技术和Western Blot技术在给予不同浓度NFA干预后,检测CCI模型DRG神经元上TMEM16A的mRNA水平和蛋白的表达。结果:(1)CCI组的TWL较正常组明显缩短,给予10μM、50μM和300μM的NFA干预后,各组TWL较CCI组均明显延长(P〈0.01,n=6);50μM的NFA干预组较10μM的NFA干预组TWL也明显延长(P〈0.05,n=6);但300μM的NFA干预组与50μM的NFA干预组相比,TWL时间差异无统计学意义。(2)免疫荧光显示TMEM16A主要存在于DRG神经元上;(3)CCI组mRNA水平较正常组明显增高;随着NFA浓度的增加,DRG神经元TMEM16A的mRNA水平较CCI组逐渐降低,差异具有统计学意义(P〈0.01,n=6)。(4)CCI组TMEM16A蛋白表达较正常组的明显增高;随着NFA浓度的增加,DRG神经元上TMEM16A蛋白表达较CCI组逐渐减低,差异具有统计学意义(P〈0.01,n=6)。结论:尼氟灭酸能抑制神经病理性疼痛大鼠DRG神经元TMEM16A的表达,而且与尼氟灭酸的剂量相关,提示钙激活氯通道可能参与或调控神经病理性疼痛的发生。
Objective: To observe expression of TMEM16 A in DRG neurons in rats with Chronic Constriction Injury of the sciatic nerve(CCI) after treatment of niflumic acid(NFA), and explore whether TMEM16 A is involved in the neuropathic pain. Methods: After CCI surgery, we measured thermal withdrawal latency(TWL) using hot plate test. Intraperitoneal injection of NFA with different concentrations at 14 day after CCI operation, took the L4-6 DRG out of rat for the following research.Immunofluorescence assay was used to show the distribution of TMEM16 A in the DRG neurons; RT-PCR and Western Blot techniques were used to detect the expression of mRNA and protein of TMEM16 A on DRG neurons in different groups. Results:(1) TWL of CCI group was significantly shorter than normal group, the TWL of each NFA groups were longer than the CCI group(P〈0.01, n = 6); the TWL of 50 μM NFA group was significantly longer than the 10μM NFA group(P〈0.05, n = 6); but there were no statistical differences between the 300 μM and 50 μM NFA groups.(2) Immunofluorescence showed TMEM16 A were mainly in the DRG neurons;(3) mRNA level of CCI group was significantly higher than that of normal group. With the increased concentrations of NFA mRNA levels of TMEM16 A on DRG neurons decreased gradually compared with CCI group, the level had statistically significant(P〈0.01, n = 6).(4) The expression of TMEM16 A protein on DRG in CCI group was significantly higher than the normal group; With the increased concentrations of NFA, expression of TMEM16 A protein on DRG neurons gradually reduced compared with CCI group, the difference has statistically significance(P〈0.01, n = 6). Conclusion: NFA can inhibit the expression of TMEM16 A on DRG neurons of neuropathic pain rats, which was associated with the amount of NFA,which prompt that calcium-activated chloride channel may be involved in the occurrence or the regulation of neuropathic pain.
