Dopamine D3 receptor regulates basal but not amphetamine-induced changes in pain sensitivity in mice.

Abstract:

:Pain is a complex and subjective experience that involves not only the transduction of noxious stimuli by nociceptive fibers, but also the cognitive and emotional processing by the brain. Previous studies on the transmission of nociception suggest that the activation of mesolimbic dopamine (DA) system plays an important role in mediating the suppression of tonic pain. The aim of the current study was to examine the role of DA D3 receptor in modulating basal and amphetamine-induced changes in pain sensitivity in mice. We used wild-type and D3 receptor mutant mice and determined allodynia induced by both noxious heat (radiant heat) and mechanical (von Frey hair) stimuli. We show that D3 receptor mutant mice exhibit hypoalgesia in both the tail-flick test and von Frey hair test compared to wild-type mice. Amphetamine-induced hyperalgesia in both D3 receptor mutant and wild-type mice in the tail-flick test and von Frey hair test. There was no significantly difference in the relative change in pain sensitivity between wild-type and D3 receptor mutant mice in both the tail-flick test and von Frey hair test following amphetamine administration. These results suggest that the D3 receptor regulates the transmission of nociception. Moreover, amphetamine can lower pain threshold in mice.
