Prodynorphin gene expression is enhanced in the spinal cord of chronic arthritic rats.

Abstract:

:The influence of chronic arthritic pain upon the levels of mRNA encoding prodynorphin (mRNADYN) in the spinal cord of rats was evaluated by use of the RNA blot technique. Rats were rendered arthritic by inoculation of the tail-base with a suspension of Mycobacterium butyricum. Three weeks post inoculation, levels of mRNADYN revealed a pronounced alteration in arthritic rats by a factor of greater than or equal to 2.5 as compared to control animals. This rise was specific in that there was no change in total RNA content. These data indicate that the biosynthetic activity of the dynorphin system is facilitated under chronic pain. Together with our previous biochemical and behavioural data, a functional role of this system in the response to chronic pain is suggested.
