Abstract:Aim To observe the analgesic effect of intrathecal injection of CBD3074 on neuropathic pain induced by spared nerve injury (SNI) in rats, and to explore its mechanism from the perspective of CRMP2/NR2B complex. Methods ①After successful indwelling intrathecal catheters of male SD rats, an SNI model was prepared. On the seventh day after SNI, CBD3074 were injected intrathecally at 0.1 μg/kg, 0.3 μg/kg, 0.9 μg, 2.7 μg/kg. Observe the paw withdraw mechanical threshold of each group before SNI (Pre), before administration (Post/0h), 0.5h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 12h, 24h after administration. ②Intrathecal injection of CBD3074 0.3 μg/kg on the seventh day after SNI; L3-L6 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) on the injured side of each group was taken 2 hours after administration; Co-immunoprecipitation method was used to detect the content of CRMP2/NR2B complex; Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of total NR2B, surface NR2B, and iNOS; the biochemical kit was used to detect the content of Ca2+ and NO. Results ①All doses are effective 1h after administration, and the analgesic effect reaches the peak about 2h. The analgesic effects of 0.1 and 0.3 μg/kg begin to decrease at 6h after administration, and 0.9 and 2.7 μg/kg at 12h. ②CBD3074 significantly inhibited SNI-induced the increase of CRMP2/NR2B complex, the up-regulation of surface NR2B and iNOS protein levels, and the increase of Ca2+ and NO content. Conclusions Intrathecal injection of CBD3074 can effectively relieve SNI-induced neuropathic pain, and its analgesic mechanism may be related to promoting the uncoupling of CRMP2/NR2B complex and reducing the content of CRMP2/NR2B complex.
