Abstract

The effect of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) on the inducible nitric oxide synthase-nitric oxide (iNOS-NO) cascade in nociceptive signal transduction was examined in the intact rat spinal cord. All rats were implanted with an intrathecal (i.t.) catheter; some were also implanted with an i.t. microdialysis probe. The paw withdrawal latency to radiant heat was used to assess thermal hyperalgesia. The iNOS protein expression in the spinal cord dorsal horn was examined by western blot analysis and NOS activity assay. NO production in the CSF dialysate was also measured. IL-1beta i.t. (100 ng) produced thermal hyperalgesia from 4 to 24 h after i.t. injection. The iNOS protein expression was induced at 4 h after i.t. IL-1beta injection, peaked at the 6th hour, and disappeared at 24 h. The iNOS activity showed a similar time-dependent change as the iNOS protein expression. NO release increased by 1.1- to 1.9-fold between 4 and 12 h, also with a peak at the 6th hour, after i.t. IL-1beta administration. Pretreatment with the iNOS inhibitor 1400W (10 microg, i.t.) 1 h before i.t. IL-1beta injection prevented all the responses of IL-1beta. Neither 1400W nor artificial CSF (aCSF) affected the thermal nociceptive...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
