幻肢痛(phantom limb pain,PLP)是截肢后的常見(jiàn)并發(fā)癥之一,50%以上的截肢患者術(shù)后伴有PLP[1]。PLP是指截肢者主觀感覺(jué)已被切除的肢體仍然存在,并有不同性質(zhì)、不同程度疼痛的現(xiàn)象[2]。研究表明,傷害性傳入信息能夠誘發(fā)中樞興奮性氨基酸,特別是谷氨酸釋放增多,并使其受體異常激活[3]。目前,尚缺少有關(guān)截肢后不同時(shí)間機(jī)體痛反應(yīng)變化及其機(jī)制的系統(tǒng)研究。Susan等[4]報(bào)道,小鼠的斷尾模型可用于研究截肢后中樞長(zhǎng)期性可塑性變化。因此,本研究采用熱板法觀測(cè)了截?cái)辔材┒诵∈髮?duì)疼痛反應(yīng)的變化,并探討了谷氨酸受體拮抗劑6-氰基-7-硝基喹喔啉-2,3-二酮(6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-diketone,CNQX) 對(duì)這些變化的影響,以期為深入研究截肢后中樞的可塑性變化及PLP產(chǎn)生機(jī)制提供理論依據(jù)。
昆明種雌性小鼠,體質(zhì)量(23±3)g。由沈陽(yáng)醫(yī)學(xué)院實(shí)驗(yàn)動(dòng)物中心提供。小鼠自由進(jìn)食水,維持室溫在(15±3)℃。用熱板法測(cè)量小鼠的痛反應(yīng)潛伏期,選痛反應(yīng)潛伏期<30s的小鼠為實(shí)驗(yàn)動(dòng)物。實(shí)施斷尾手術(shù)時(shí),用手術(shù)剪刀截?cái)嘈∈笪材┒?.5cm,用消毒棉包扎斷尾止血。
用熱板法測(cè)量小鼠的痛反應(yīng)潛伏期,以小鼠出現(xiàn)舔后足的時(shí)間為準(zhǔn),作為痛閾觀察指標(biāo)。熱板溫度(55±1)℃。將90只斷尾小鼠隨機(jī)分成6組,分別于截?cái)嘈∈笪材┒饲凹敖財(cái)嗪?.5h、1h、2h、3h、24h、168h(1周)測(cè)定斷尾小鼠的痛閾。如痛反應(yīng)潛伏期超過(guò)60s,則以60s計(jì)算,并結(jié)束實(shí)驗(yàn)。同時(shí)分別設(shè)空白對(duì)照組檢測(cè)小鼠痛閾。

研究表明,谷氨酸在傷害性信息的傳遞中起重要作用[6]。本研究結(jié)果顯示,靜脈注射谷氨酸受體拮抗劑CNQX拮抗了斷尾后2h小鼠出現(xiàn)的痛閾提高的反應(yīng)。提示α-氨基3-羥基5-甲基4-異惡唑丙酸/海人藻氨酸(α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionic acid/Kainate,AMPA/Kainate)受體參與了斷尾誘發(fā)小鼠痛閾提高的過(guò)程。文獻(xiàn)報(bào)道,CNQX不易通過(guò)血腦屏障[7],因此,我們認(rèn)為CNQX可能是通過(guò)作用外周AMPA/Kainate受體而產(chǎn)生作用的。本研究結(jié)果表明,AMPA/Kainate受體在疼痛的調(diào)控中有重要的作用,可以作為鎮(zhèn)痛藥物作用的候選靶分子之一,為臨床防治截肢后中樞的可塑性變化及PLP提供了理論依據(jù)。

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of glutamic acid receptor antagonist CNQX on the change of pain responses of mice after amputation of extremity of the tail.MethodsThe distal 2.5cm length of the mouse tail was removed as an experiment model of amputation.Hot plate experiment was used at 0.5h,1h,2h,3h,24h,168h after the amputation,respectively.The latencies of the mice′s licking their hindpaws on the hot plate(55±1℃)were recorded and used as an index of pain threshold by hot plate method.Mice were removed from the chamber if they did not respond within 60s,and the response latency was recorded as 60s.The change of pain response was observed after CNQX was injected by the caudalis vein.ResultsThere was no significant change in pain threshold between control or preamputating and amputating groups at 0.5h or 1h after the amputation (P>0.05).Pain threshold of 2h or 3h groups after the amputation was significantly higher than that of their control groups or before the amputation (P<0.01).There was no significant change in pain threshold between 24h or 168h groups after the amputation,compared with that of their control groups or before the amputation(P>0.05).The intravenous injection of glutamic acid receptor antagonist CNQX antagonized the increase in mice′s pain threshold at 2h after the amputation.ConclusionThreshold of pain responses of the mice to the hot plate is significantly increased at 2to 3h after the amputation of extremity of the tail in mice.The AMPA/Kainate receptor is involved in the increase in pain threshold induced by the amputation.
