Abstract：
:Previous research has shown that peripheral inflammation and peripheral nerve injury alter the properties of NMDA receptors in the spinal dorsal horn. However, there is no direct evidence that demonstrates the influence of peripheral nerve injury on NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission in the spinal dorsal horn. Using whole cell tight-seal methods, NMDA receptor-mediated excitatory postsynaptic currents (NMDA EPSCs) were recorded from superficial dorsal horn neurons in adult mouse spinal cord slices. Peripheral nerve injury-induced changes in the pharmacological and electrophysiological properties of synaptic NMDA receptors were studied. The ratio of the amplitude of NMDA EPSCs to that of non-NMDA EPSCs was larger in nerve-ligated neuropathic mice than in sham-operated control mice. The decay phase of the NMDA EPSCs was slower in nerve-ligated neuropathic mice. The NR2B subunit-specific NMDA receptor antagonist ifenprodil (10 microM) reduced the amplitude of the NMDA EPSCs and shortened their decay phase. The sensitivity of NMDA EPSCs to ifenprodil was significantly larger in nerve-ligated neuropathic mice than in sham-operated control mice. Single-cell RT-PCR analysis performed on superficial dorsal horn neurons showed that the incidence of NR2A mRNA-expressing neurons was reduced in nerve-ligated neuropathic mice. This result, together with the electrophysiological findings, suggests that the subunit composition of the subsynaptic NMDA receptors in the superficial dorsal horn was altered by peripheral nerve injury. Pharmacological and electrophysiological changes observed in the present experiments might be the underlying causes of the hyperalgesia and allodynia induced by peripheral nerve injury and inflammation.
