Abstract

Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expressed on spinal microglia and astrocytes has been suggested to play an important role in the regulation of pain signalling. The purpose of the present work was to examine the links between TLR4, glial activation and spinal release of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) and tumour necrosis factor (TNF), and the role these factors play in TLR4-induced tactile allodynia. Toll-like receptor 4 was activated by intrathecal (i.t.) injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and KDO(2)-Lipid A (KDO(2)) to rats. Tactile allodynia was assessed using von Frey filaments and cerebrospinal fluid collected through spinal dialysis and lumbar puncture. PGE(2) and TNF levels were measured by mass spectometry and elisa. Minocycline and pentoxifylline (glia inhibitors), etanercept (TNF-blocker) and ketorolac (COX-inhibitor) were given i.t. prior to injection of the TLR4-agonists, in order to determine if these agents alter TLR4-mediated nociception and the spinal release of PGE(2) and TNF. Spinal administration of LPS and KDO(2) produced a dose-dependent tactile allodynia, which was attenuated by pentoxifylline, minocycline and etanercept but not ketorolac. Both TLR4 agonists induced the spinal release of PGE(2) and TNF. Intrathe...Continue Reading
