Abstract:
:In previous studies, we showed for the first time that prenatal stress in rats produces long-term alterations of formalin-induced pain behavior that are dependent on age and sex, and we demonstrated an important role of the serotonergic system in mechanisms of prenatal stress (Butkevich, I.P. and Vershinina, E.A., 2001; Butkevich, I.P. and Vershinina, E.A., 2003; Butkevich, I.P., Mikhailenko, V.A., Vershinina, E.A., Khozhai, L.I., Grigorev, I.P., Otellin, V.A., 2005; Butkevich, I.P., Mikhailenko, V.A., Khozhai, L.I., Otellin, V.A., 2006). In the present study, we focus on the influence of the maternal corticosterone milieu and its role in the effects of stress during pregnancy on formalin-induced pain and the corticosterone response to it in male and female offspring of different ages. For this purpose, we used adrenalectomy (AD) in female rats 3-4 weeks before mating (as distinct from AD typically performed at the beginning of pregnancy). Since AD is considered a reliable method to treat hypercortisolism, researches on the effects of long-term AD in dams on the systems responsible for adaptive behavior in offspring are important (such studies are not described in the literature). The results demonstrate that the differences in the corticosterone response to injection of formalin and saline are obvious in 90-day-old (adult) female offspring but masked in 25-day-old ones. AD promoted the corticosterone response to formalin-induced pain but not to injection of saline in prenatally non-stressed female offspring of both ages. Prenatal stress canceled the differences in corticosterone response to injection of formalin and saline in 25-day-old offspring of AD dams and in adult offspring of sham-operated (SH) dams but caused similar differences in adult offspring of AD dams. Sex differences were found in basal corticosterone levels in AD prenatally stressed rats of both age groups, with a higher level in females, and in the corticosterone response to formalin-induced pain in the adult rats of all groups investigated, with higher corticosterone levels in females. In regard to pain behavior, AD induced significant changes in flexing+shaking in prenatally non-stressed adult offspring and canceled the differences in this behavior between non-stressed and stressed 25-day-old offspring. There were sex differences in pain behavior of the adult rats: greater flexing+shaking in AD non-stressed males but in SH non-stressed females; greater licking in prenatally-stressed AD and SH females. These results indicate that the long-term influences of maternal corticosterone on formalin-induced pain and the corticosterone response to it are determined by the sex and age of the offspring and suggest that other mechanisms, including serotonergic ones revealed in our previous studies, are involved in the effects of prenatal stress on inflammatory pain behavior.
