Analgesic Effects and Mechanism of Wutou Decoction in Rats
Objective: To study the analgesic effects and mechanism of Wutou decoction. Method: Healthy SD male rats were randomly divided into normal group
model group
Wutou decoction high-dose group
Wutou decocotion middle dose group
Wutou decoction low-dose group and ibuprofen group. SD rats were injected with complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) into the right ankle joint cavity to induce chronic inflammatory pain in joint. Wutou decoction at the doses of 4
2
1 g·kg-1
ibuprofen at the doses of 30 mg·kg-1 were daily ig administrated to rats from day 1 after the CFA injection for 6 days. Joint swelling
cold pain threshold
mechanical pain threshold and thermal radiation pain threshold of the diseased ankle joints were measured. The level of prostaglandin E2(PGE2)and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in plasma were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay
and the levels of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1(TRPV1) and transient receptor potential melastatin 8(TRPM8) protein in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) measured by immunohistochemistry. Result: The ankle joints of rats in model group were obviously swollen
and the cold pain threshold
mechanical pain threshold and thermal radiation pain threshold were significantly decreased compared to the rats in normal group. The levels of PGE2 and 5-HT in plasma and the expression level of TRPV1 in DRG were significantly increased too
and production of TRPM8 in DRG is decreased. Compared with the model group
Wutou decoction high-dose group and middle dose group reduced the joint swelling (P<0.05)
all dose group significantly increased cold pain threshold (P<0.01 or P<0.05)
high-dose group and middle dose group increased mechanical pain threshold (P<0.01
P<0.05)
and high-dose group reduced thermal radiation pain threshold (P<0.05). The levels of PGE2
5-HT and TRPV1 are decreased while the level of TRPM8 is increased after the treatment of Wutou decoction. Conclusion: Wutou decoction has the analgesic effect
and the mechanism may be related to inhibiting the level of PGE2 and 5-HT in plasma and regulating the expression of TRPV1 and TRPM8 in DRG.
