Abstract | The functional significance of non-peptidergic C-fibers in orofacial pain processing is largely unknown. The present study examined the effects of the selective elimination of isolectin B4 (IB4)-binding (IB4(+)) neurons on formalin-induced face rubbing behavior (FRB) in the upper lip of rats and c-Fos-immunoreactive (c-Fos-IR) cells in the trigeminal subnucleus caudalis (Vc). IB4 conjugated to neurotoxin, saporin (IB4-Sap), blank-saporin (Bl-Sap), or saline (Sal) was injected into the cisterna magna. IB4-Sap treatments significantly decreased IB4(+) terminals in lamina II of Vc and IB4(+) trigeminal ganglia neurons, whereas Sal- and BI-Sap treatments did not. The number of formalin-induced FRB 15-30 min after the formalin injection was significantly higher in IB4-Sap-treated rats than in Sal- or Bl-Sap-treated rats, and was associated with an increase in c-Fos-IR cells. The systemic preadministration of the GABAA antagonist, bicuculline, and agonist, muscimol, had stronger decreasing effects on FRB and c-Fos-IR cells in IB4-Sap-treated rats than the preadministration of Sal, whereas the opposite effects were observed in Sal- and Bl-Sap-treated rats. These results indicate that IB4(+) neurons in the trigeminal nerve play antinociceptive regulatory roles in formalin-induced orofacial pain processing and that GABAA receptor functions at segmental and supratrigeminal sites have complex modulatory influences on antinociceptive roles. |
