Abstract
The mechanism of pain in chronic pancreatitis (CP) is poorly understood. The aim of this study was designed to investigate roles of norepinephrine (NE) and P2X receptor (P2XR) signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of hyperalgesia in a rat model of CP. CP was induced in male adult rats by intraductal injection of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). Mechanical hyperalgesia was assessed by referred somatic behaviors to mechanical stimulation of rat abdomen. P2XR-mediated responses of pancreatic dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons were measured utilizing calcium imaging and whole cell patch-clamp-recording techniques. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence were performed to examine protein expression. TNBS injection produced a significant upregulation of P2X3R expression and an increase in ATP-evoked responses of pancreatic DRG neurons. The sensitization of P2X3Rs was reversed by administration of β-adrenergic receptor antagonist propranolol. Incubation of DRG neurons with NE significantly enhanced ATP-induced intracellular calcium signals, which were abolished by propranolol, and partially blocked by protein kinase A inhibitor H-89. Interestingly, TNBS injection led to a significant elevation of NE concentration in DRGs and the pancreas, an upregulation of β2-adrenergic receptor expression in DRGs, and amplification of the NE-induced potentiation of ATP responses. Importantly, pancreatic hyperalgesia was markedly attenuated by administration of purinergic receptor antagonist suramin or A317491 or β2-adrenergic receptor antagonist butoxamine. Sensitization of P2X3Rs, which was likely mediated by adrenergic signaling in primary sensory neurons, contributes to pancreatic pain, thus identifying a potential target for treating pancreatic pain caused by inflammation.
