Activation of TREK1 Channel in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex Improves Neuropathic Pain in a Rat Model
Objective. To explore the biological function and mechanism of TREK1 in neuropathic pain. Thirty-two healthy rats and rats with sciatic nerve chronic press-fitting model (chronic constriction injury of the sciatic nerve, CCI) were selected. Western blot, immunofluorescence staining, and patch clamp...

Sumario: | Objective. To explore the biological function and mechanism of TREK1 in neuropathic pain. Thirty-two healthy rats and rats with sciatic nerve chronic press-fitting model (chronic constriction injury of the sciatic nerve, CCI) were selected. Western blot, immunofluorescence staining, and patch clamp technique were performed to explore the biological functions of TREK1. The expression of TREK1 was decreased in the CCI model. The TREK1 channel current in the CCI model was decreased. After local administration of TREK1 channel activator in the anterior cingulate cortex area, the pain behavior of CCI rats and the expression of TREK1 protein were reversed. The expression of TREK1 was downregulated in the ACC area of CCI rats and the current of TREK1 was decreased, which played an important role in the regulation of neuropathic pain. |
