    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.

    Abstract This study was designed to investigate the efficacy of a partial μ-opioid agonist, buprenorphine, against the formalin-induced hyperalgesia in the upper lip in chronically inferior alveolar nerve (IAN)-transected rats. Subcutaneous injection of diluted formalin into the upper lip in the IAN-transected rats showed an increased number of pain-related behavior (PRB; face-rubbing behavior) in every phase up to 45 min (p < 0.01) compared with that in the nontransected sham control rats. The numbers of c-Fos-immunoreactive (IR) cells in the superficial layers of the trigeminal nucleus caudalis (VcI/II) at the rostral (0-0.7 mm caudal to the obex) and middle levels (1.4-2.2 mm caudal to the obex) 2 h after the formalin injection in the IAN-transected rats were significantly increased compared with those in the control rats. The PRB in phases 1 and 2 (0-15 and 15-30 min after formalin injection) in rats with preadministration of morphine (3 mg/kg i.p.) or buprenorphine (100 µg/kg i.p.) was significantly (p < 0.05) smaller than those in the control rats. There was no significant difference in the efficacy between morphine and buprenorphine at these doses. The antinociceptive efficacy in phase 2 of buprenorphine (100 µg/kg) was higher (p < 0.05) than that of morphine (3 mg/kg) in the IAN-transected rats. The number of c-Fos-IR cells in the VcI/II at every level (0-3.6 mm caudal to the obex) after formalin injection was significantly decreased (p < 0.01) with preadministration of morphine (3 mg/kg) or buprenorphine (100 µg/kg) in the control rats. In the IAN-transected rats, the number of c-Fos-IR cells in the caudal VcI/II (2.2-3.6 mm caudal to the obex) after formalin injection was significantly decreased (p < 0.01) with preadministration of buprenorphine (100 µg/kg) but not so much (2.2-2.9 mm caudal to the obex, p < 0.05; 2.9-3.6 mm caudal to the obex, p > 0.05) with preadministration of morphine (3 mg/kg). These results indicate that IAN transection enhanced formalin-induced nocifensive responses in the upper lip, the dermatome of the intact nerve neighboring the IAN. Systemic preadministration of buprenorphine had more antinociceptive effects on the formalin-induced nocifensive behavior in the upper lip compared with morphine in the IAN-transected rats.

    Abstract Transient receptor potential vanilloid1 (TRPV1) and glutamate receptors (GluRs) are located in small diameter primary afferent neurons (nociceptors), and it was speculated that glutamate released in the peripheral tissue in response to activation of TRPV1 might activate nociceptors retrogradely. But, it was not clear which types of GluRs are functioning in the nociceptive sensory transmission. In the present study, we examined the c-Fos expression in spinal cord dorsal horn following injection of drugs associated with glutamate receptors with/without capsaicin into the hindpaw. The subcutaneous injection of capsaicin or glutamate remarkably evoked c-Fos expression in ipsilateral sides of spinal cord dorsal horn. This capsaicin evoked increase of c-Fos expression was significantly prevented by concomitant administration of MK801, CNQX, and CPCCOEt. On the other hand, there were not any significant changes in coinjection of capsaicin and MCCG or MSOP. These results reveal that the activation of iGluRs and group I mGluR in peripheral afferent nerves play an important role in mechanisms whereby capsaicin evokes/maintains nociceptive responses.

    Abstract Using combined retrograde labeling and Fos protein immunohistochemistry, we show that after masseter inflammation, a population of neurons in the dorsal portion of the subnuclei interpolaris/caudalis transition zone at the level of the obex was activated and projected to the oval paracentral nucleus (OPC) of the intralaminar thalamic nuclei. The present findings indicate a trigeminothalamic pathway to the OPC intralaminar nucleus involved in central processing of orofacial deep noxious input.

    Abstract We evaluated the effect of buprenorphine, a mixed agonist for μ-opioid receptors and nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide (NOP) receptors, in neuropathic rats, using the paw pressure test. Buprenorphine, administered i.p. at 50, but not 20, μg/kg, exhibited naloxone-reversible analgesic activity in naïve rats. In contrast, buprenorphine at 0.5 - 20 μg/kg produced a naloxonesensitive antihyperalgesic effect in the L5 spinal nerve-injured neuropathic rats. Intrathecal injection of [N-Phe(1)]nociceptin(1-13)NH2, a NOP-receptor antagonist, reversed the effect of buprenorphine in neuropathic rats, but not in naïve rats. Together, buprenorphine suppresses neuropathic hyperalgesia by activating NOP and opioid receptors, suggesting its therapeutic usefulness in treatment of neuropathic pain.

    Abstract Recent studies have implicated a role for the trigeminal interpolaris/caudalis (Vi/Vc) transition zone in response to orofacial injury. Using combined neuronal tracing and Fos protein immunocytochemistry, we investigated functional connections between the Vi/Vc transition zone and rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM), a key structure in descending pain modulation. Rats were injected with a retrograde tracer, FluoroGold, into the RVM 7 days before injection of an inflammatory agent, complete Freund's adjuvant, into the masseter muscle and perfused at 2 hours postinflammation. A population of neurons in the ventral Vi/Vc overlapping with caudal ventrolateral medulla, and lamina V of the trigeminal subnucleus caudalis (Vc), exhibited FluoroGold/Fos double staining, suggesting the activation of the trigeminal-RVM pathway after inflammation. No double-labeled neurons were found in the dorsal Vi/Vc and laminae I-IV of Vc. Injection of an anterograde tracer, Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin, into the RVM resulted in labeling profiles overlapped with the region that showed FluoroGold/Fos double labeling, suggesting reciprocal connections between RVM and Vi/Vc. Lesions of Vc with a soma-selective neurotoxin, ibotenic acid, significantly reduced inflammation-induced Fos expression as well as the number of FluoroGold/Fos double-labeled neurons in the ventral Vi/Vc (P<0.05). Compared with control rats, lesions of the RVM (n=6) or Vi/Vc (n=6) with ibotenic acid led to the elimination or attenuation of masseter hyperalgesia/allodynia developed after masseter inflammation (P<0.05-0.01). The present study demonstrates reciprocal connections between the ventral Vi/Vc transition zone and RVM. The Vi/Vc-RVM pathway is activated after orofacial deep tissue injury and plays a critical role in facilitating orofacial hyperalgesia.

    Abstract We studied the effects of electrical stimulation of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) on cardiovascular responses in cats. There was statistical correlation between cardiovascular response and prestimulus mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) and heart rate (HR). A trigeminal depressor response (TDR) was induced when the prestimulus MABP and HR were above 95 mm Hg and 140 beats/min, respectively. We investigated further to identify the vasomotor regulating center and neural transmitters involved in TDR. In the medulla, electrical stimulation of the dorsomedial medulla, the infratrigeminal nucleus (IFT), and the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) induced a vasopressor response. We confirmed that neurons in the RVLM were retrogradely labeled by wheat germ agglutinin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase injection into the nucleus intermediolateralis of the spinal cord. The vasopressor response induced by IFT stimulation was similar to that induced by IAN stimulation. Vasodepressor responses were induced when the caudal ventrolateral medulla, the nucleus tractus solitarius, the lateral tegmental field, the trigeminal nucleus interpolaris, the trigeminal spinal tract, and the paramedian reticular nucleus were stimulated. These responses, however, were not similar to the vasodepressor response induced by IAN stimulation but were similar to the cardiovascular response induced by vagal afferent stimulation. After spinalization or lesion of the RVLM, MABP and HR decreased and TDR completely disappeared. Inhibitory synaptic ligands and receptors were localized using immunohistochemical techniques. Neurons immunopositive for adrenaline, noradrenaline, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and adrenaline alpha(2A), GABA(A), GABA(B), and glycine receptors were distributed along the sympatho-reflexive route including the RVLM and IFT. These results suggest that TDR could be induced as negative feedback to sympathetic hyperactivity whenever MABP and HR are high, because of the inhibitory control of the RVLM.
