Abstract
Capsaicin, the hot chemical in chillies, administered to neonatal rats, causes destruction of polymodal nociceptive primary afferent neurons by acting on TRPV1 receptors causing intrinsic somatosensory deprivation. Although the effects of neonatal capsaicin treatment in the periphery have been extensively investigated, less is known about the brain networks to which the capsaicin sensory neurons are relayed. In the present study the effect of neonatal capsaicin treatment on brain receptors that have been shown to interact with TRPV1 was examined. Wistar rats were treated on neonatal day 2 with capsaicin and at 15-16 weeks of age, brains were processed to measure levels of muscarinic M(1)/M(2) and M(2)/M(4), serotonin 5HT(2A), cannabinoid CB(1), dopamine D(1), D(2) receptors and dopamine transporter. Overall increases in levels of muscarinic M(1)/M(4) (F=8.219, df=1, p=0.005), muscarinic M(2)/M(4) (F=99.759, df=1, p<0.0001), serotonin 5HT(2A) (F=28.892, df=1, p<0.0001), dopamine D(1) (F=8.726, df=1, p=0.008) and cannabinoid CB(1) (F=25.084, df=1, p<0.0001) receptors were found in the brains of capsaicin-treated rats, although significant regional changes occurred only in muscarinic M(2)/M(4) and serotonin 5HT(2A) receptors.
