Popis: | Dynamic regulation of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) kinase 2 (GRK2) expression restores cellular function by protecting from overstimulation via GPCR and non-GPCR signaling. In the primary afferent neurons, GRK2 negatively regulates nociceptive tone. The present study tested the hypothesis that induction of GRK2 in the primary afferent neurons contributes to the resolution of acute pain after tissue injury. GRK2 expression in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) was analyzed at 1 and 7 days after the incision. Intraperitoneal administration of a GRK2 inhibitor was performed 7 days post-incision in male Sprague-Dawley rats who underwent plantar incisions to analyze the pain-related behavioral effect of the GRK2 inhibitor. Separately, GRK2 expression was analyzed after injecting insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) into the rat hind paw. In addition, an IGF1 receptor (IGF1R) inhibitor was administered in the plantar incision rats to determine its effect on the incision-induced hyperalgesia and GRK2 expression. Plantar incision induced an increase in GRK2 in the DRG at 7 days, but not at 1 day post-incision. Acute hyperalgesia after the plantar incision disappeared by 7 days post-incision. Intraperitoneal injection of the GRK2 inhibitor at this time reinstated mechanical hyperalgesia, although the GRK2 inhibitor did not produce hyperalgesia in naive rats. After the incision, IGF1 expression increased in the paw, but not in the DRG. Intraplantar injection of IGF1 increased GRK2 expression in the ipsilateral DRG. IGF1R inhibitor administration prevented both the induction of GRK2 and resolution of hyperalgesia after the plantar incision. These findings demonstrate that induction of GRK2 expression driven by tissue IGF1 has potent analgesic effects and produces resolution of hyperalgesia after tissue injury. Dysregulation of IGF1-GRK2 signaling could potentially lead to failure of the spontaneous resolution of acute pain and, hence, development of chronic pain after surgery. |
