目的 评价神经元型一氧化氮合酶(nNOS)-一氧化氮合酶1衔接蛋白(NOS1AP)复合体在瑞芬太尼诱发大鼠痛觉过敏中的作用。 方法 清洁级健康成年雄性SD大鼠40只,体质量240~260 g,2~3月龄,采用随机数字表法分为4组(n=10):对照组(C组)静脉输注生理盐水0.1 ml·kg-1·min-1 60 min;瑞芬太尼组(R组)静脉输注瑞芬太尼1.0 μg·kg-1·min-1 60 min;nNOS-NOS1AP抑制剂ZLc002组(C+Z组)和瑞芬太尼+ZLc002组(R+Z组)每天腹腔注射ZLc002 10 mg/kg,连续3 d,然后分别静脉输注生理盐水0.1 ml·kg-1·min-1或瑞芬太尼1.0 μg·kg-1·min-160 min。分别于静脉输注前24 h和输注结束后6、24、48 h(T0-3)时测定机械缩足反应阈(MWT)和热缩足潜伏期(TWL)。最后一次痛阈测定结束后处死大鼠,取L4-6脊髓组织,采用RT-PCR法检测脊髓nNOS、NOS1AP、G蛋白信号传导激活蛋白1(Dexras1)的mRNA表达;生物素转化法提取亚硝基化蛋白,Western blot法测定nNOS、NOS1AP、总体和亚硝基化Dexras1的表达;免疫共沉淀法检测nNOS-NOS1AP共表达;测定脊髓NO含量。 结果 与C组比较,R组T1-3时MWT降低,TWL缩短,脊髓nNOS、NOS1AP及其mRNA表达上调,nNOS-NOS1AP共表达和NO生成增加,亚硝基化Dexras1表达上调(P<0.05),C+Z组上述各指标差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);与R组比较,R+Z组T1-3时MWT升高,TWL延长,脊髓nNOS-NOS1AP共表达和NO生成减少,亚硝基化Dexras1表达下调(P<0.05),nNOS、NOS1AP及其mRNA表达差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);4组间脊髓Dexras1及其mRNA表达差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。 结论 瑞芬太尼诱发大鼠痛觉过敏的机制可能与上调脊髓nNOS和NOS1AP的表达,促进二者相互作用,介导NO生成和Dexras1亚硝基化修饰有关。 Objective To evaluate the role of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS)-nitric oxide synthase 1 adaptor protein (NOS1AP) coupling in remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia in rats. Methods Forty clean-grade healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 240-260 g, aged 2-3 months, were divided into 4 groups (n=10 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), remifentanil group (group R), nNOS-NOS1AP inhibitor ZLc002 group (group C+ Z) and remifentanil + ZLc002 group (group R+ Z). Normal saline was intravenously infused at a rate of 0.1 ml·kg-1·min-1 for 60 min in C group. Remifentanil was intravenously infused at a rate of 1.0 μg·kg -1·min-1 for 60 min in R group. ZLc002 10 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected for 3 consecutive days, and then normal saline 0.1 ml·kg-1·min-1 and remifentanil 1.0 μg·kg -1·min-1 were intravenously infused for 60 min in C+ Z group and R+ Z group. The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured at 24 h before intravenous infusion and 6, 24 and 48 h after intravenous infusion (T0-3). All the rats were sacrificed after the last measurement of pain thresholds, and the L4-6 segments of the spinal cord were removed for determination of the expression of nNOS, NOS1AP and Dexamethasone-induced Ras-related protein 1 (Dexras1) protein and mRNA using the real-time polymerase chain reaction. Nitrosylated proteins were extracted by biotin conversion for determination of the expression of nNOS, NOS1AP and total and nitrosylated Dexras1 (by Western blot) and co-expression of nNOS-NOS1AP (by co-immunoprecipitation). The content of NO in the spinal cord was measured. Results Compared with group C, the MWT was significantly decreased, and the TWL was shortened at T1-3, the expression of nNOS and NOS1AP protein and mRNA was up-regulated, the co-expression of nNOS-NOS1AP and NO production were increased, and the expression of nitrosylated Dexras1 was up-regulated in group R (P<0.05), and no significant change was found in each aforementioned parameter in group C+ Z (P>0.05). Compared with group R, the MWT was significantly increased, and the TWL was prolonged at T1-3, the co-expression of nNOS-NOS1AP and NO production were decreased, the expression of nitrosylated Dexras1 was down-regulated (P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the expression of nNOS and NOS1AP protein and mRNA in group R+ Z (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in total Dexras1 protein and mRNA expression among the four groups (P>0.05). Conclusions The mechanism by which remifentanil induces hyperalgesia may be related to up-regulating the expression of nNOS and NOS1AP in the spinal cord, promoting interaction between nNOS and NOS1AP and mediating NO generation and Dexras1 nitrosylation modification in rats.
