Abstract:
:In this study, we aimed at investigating the effect of an enriched environment (EE) on the recovery from chronic inflammatory pain. Inflammatory pain was induced by the injection of 2 mg of carrageenan (CAR) into the right knee of male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=34). Rats were housed either singly (S-housed) or in an EE (EE-housed). The EE consisted of a large cage (L x W x H=2.0 x 1.0 x 0.8 m) containing various attributes (e.g. running wheels, shelter house, climbing frame). Withdrawal response to von Frey filament was used to assess mechanical allodynia at days post-operative (DPO) -1, 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28. S-housed animals showed a marked tactile sensitivity in the ipsilateral paw from DPO1 to DPO21. Four weeks after the CAR injection, S-housed rats were no longer allodynic. In contrast, EE-housed rats showed a significantly faster recovery: already at DPO21, they were no longer allodynic. In a first attempt to analyse the possible role of astroglial cells in the EE-induced effect, histological analysis at DPO21 was performed. Immunohistochemical staining of the spinal dorsal horn at L3-L5 indeed showed that spinal levels of astroglial activation are different between the two housing groups and therefore may play a role in the EE-induced effect on the duration of mechanical allodynia. In conclusion, our results showed that EE-housing results in a reduced duration of mechanical allodynia in chronic inflammatory pain in rats. Astroglial activation is suggested to be involved in this housing effect.
