N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and non-NMDA glutamate receptor antagonists differentially suppress dorsal horn neuron responses to mechanical stimuli in rats with peripheral nerve injury.
    Neuroscience letters, 1996, Jun-14, Volume: 211, Issue:1

    The effects of iontophoretically ejected glutamate receptor antagonists on mechanically evoked responsiveness were examined on wide dynamic range (WDR) dorsal horn neurons in anesthetized rats that received a unilateral ligation of the L5 and L6 spinal nerves 10-15 days previously. Both brush- and pinch-evoked responses of dorsal horn neurons on the nerve-injured side were enhanced. N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, 2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid (AP5), preferentially suppressed the enhanced pinch-evoked response, whereas (RS)-a-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionate (AMPA) receptor selective antagonist, 6-nitro-7-sulphamoylbenzo(f)quinoxaline-2,3-dione (NBQX), preferentially attenuated the enhanced brush-evoked response. The results indicate that the enhanced responses to noxious and non-noxious peripheral inputs induced in WDR dorsal horn neurons following the nerve injury are mediated by activation of NMDA and AMPA receptors, respectively.
