Anti-nociceptive role of neuropeptide Y in the nucleus accumbens in rats with inflammation, an effect modulated by mu- and kappa-opioid receptors

Recent study in our laboratory showed that neuropeptide Y (NPY) plays an antinociceptive role in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) in intact rats. The present study was performed to further investigate the effect of NPY in nociceptive modulation in the NAc of rats with inflammation, and the possible interaction between NPY and the opioid systems. Experimental inflammation was induced by subcutaneous injection of carrageenan into the left hindpaw of rats. Intra-NAc administration of NPY induced a dose-dependent increase of hindpaw withdrawal latencies (HWLs) to thermal and mechanical stimulations in rats with inflammation. The anti-nociceptive effect of NPY was significantly blocked by subsequent intra-NAc injection of the Y1 receptor antagonist NPY28-36, suggesting an involvement of Y1 receptor in the NPY-induced anti-nociception. Furthermore, intra-NAc administration of the opioid antagonist naloxone significantly antagonized the increased HWLs induced by preceding intra-NAc injection of NPY, suggesting an involvement of the endogenous opioid system in the NPY-induced anti-nociception in the NAc during inflammation. Moreover, the NPY-induced anti-nociception was attenuated by following intra-NAc injection of the μ-opioid antagonist β-funaltrexamine (β-FNA), and κ-opioid antagonist nor-binaltorphimine (nor-BNI), but not by δ-opioid antagonist naltrindole, indicating that μ- and κ-opioid receptors, not δ-opioid receptor, are involved in the NPY-induced anti-nociception in the NAc in rats with inflammation.

Acylphosphatase overexpression triggers SH-SY5Y differentiation towards neuronal phenotype

An acylphosphatase (AcPase) overexpression study was carried out on SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, using a green fluorescent fusion protein (AcP-GFP), with GFP acting as a reporter protein. The cellular proliferation rate was significantly reduced by overexpression of AcPase by a factor of ten. In contrast, clones transfected with two inactive AcPase mutants showed a growth rate comparable to control cells. This suggests that AcPase catalyzes the proliferative down-regulation. AcPase-overexpressing clones showed a physiological mortality rate as assessed by an MTT reduction test and by evaluation of necrotic markers. DNA fragmentation analysis and assays of caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)-active fragments showed no evidence of any apoptotic pattern. AcPase overexpression led to a marked increase in PARP activity as well as Bcl-2 content; these are commonly up-regulated during differentiative processes in neuronal cells. In fact, the typical differentiation marker, growth-associated-protein 43, was significantly up-regulated. Microscopic observations also showed a clear increase in the differentiative phenotype in AcPase-overexpressing cells. Our results clearly show that AcPase plays a primary causative role in neuronal differentiation.Received 3 May 2004; accepted 25 May 2004
