Abstract:
The role of the GABAB receptor in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) of neuropathic pain is unclear. Injection of a GABAB receptor antagonist CGP35348 into the ACC induced mechanical hypersensitivity in normal rats. Activation of the GABAB receptor injected by a GABAB receptor agonist baclofen into the ACC attenuated mechanical hypersensitivity in partial sciatic nerve ligation (PSNL) rats. Co-microinjection of CGP35348 with a muscarinic M1 receptor agonist McN-A-343 into the ACC significantly inhibited McN-A-343-induced antihypersensitivity in PSNL rats. These results suggest that the GABAB receptor in the ACC contributes to mechanical hypersensitivity and is involved in muscarinic M1 receptor-mediated antihypersensitivity.
