Abstract:
:In an earlier study we have shown that local application of capsaicin directly to one sciatic nerve induces a decrease of substance P and cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK8)-like peptide from the dorsal spinal cord using immunocytochemical analysis. Here the effect of locally applied capsaicin on seven peptides known to be present in the L4 segment was assessed by radioimmunoassay and immunocytochemistry. The peptides investigated were substance P, somatostatin and CCK8-like peptide (which are present in small diameter primary afferent fibres), neurotensin, enkephalin (which are intrinsic to the spinal cord), neurophysin (of supraspinal origin) and bombesin (whose origin is unknown). Fourteen days after a single application of 49 mM solution of capsaicin a significant depletion of substance P and somatostatin was detected. These results were confirmed by parallel immunocytochemical analysis which localised the dramatic decreases of substance P and somatostatin to lamina 1 and lamina 2. In addition a depletion of CCK8-like immunoreactivity was observed by immunocytochemistry in this area, but quantitative radioimmunoassay of CCK8-like peptide did not detect this depletion. The capsaicin-induced changes were dose-dependent and reversible. Small decreases were noted with concentrations of capsaicin as low as 0.1 mM. The changes were apparent from day 9 onwards, maximal depletion seen by day 14. By 200 days post-operatively, a recovery to normal peptide levels in the ipsilateral dorsal horn was observed. In addition, a significant depletion of cutaneous substance P was noted in the area of the skin innervated by the capsaicin-treated nerve. These changes were accompanied by a significant increase in noxious thermal response (hind paw immersion test, T = 49 degrees C, ipsilateral leg 9.11 +/- 1.3 seconds, contralateral leg: 5.1 +/- 1.3 seconds, P = less than 0.005). The peptides neurotensin, enkephalin, neurophysin and bombesin were not affected by capsaicin treatment. These findings suggest that local application of capsaicin induces an indiscriminate depletion of peptide-containing primary sensory afferent fibres which is dose-dependent, long-lasting, but reversible.
