Prostaglandin 15d-PGJ2 targets PPARγ and opioid receptors to prevent muscle hyperalgesia in rats.
    Neuroreport, 2021, 02-03, Volume: 32, Issue:3

    Pharmacological agents directed to either opioid receptors or peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) at peripheral tissues reduce behavioral signs of persistent pain. Both receptors are expressed in muscle tissue, but the contribution of PPARγ activation to muscle pain and its modulation by opioid receptors remains unknown. To address this question, we first tested whether the endogenous PPARγ ligand 15d-PGJ2 would decrease mechanical hyperalgesia induced by carrageenan administration into the gastrocnemius muscle of rats. Next, we used receptor antagonists to determine whether the antihyperalgesic effect of 15-deoxyΔ-12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2) was PPARγ- or opioid receptor-dependent. Three hours after carrageenan, muscle hyperalgesia was quantified with the Randall-Selitto test. 15d-PGJ2 prevented carrageenan-induced muscle hyperalgesia in a dose-dependent manner. The antihyperalgesic effect of 15d-PGJ2 was dose-dependently inhibited by either the PPARγ antagonist, 2-chloro-5-nitro-N-phenylbenzamide, or by the opioid receptor antagonist, naloxone. We conclude that 15d-PGJ2 targets PPARγ and opioid receptors to prevent muscle hyperalgesia. We suggest that local PPARγ receptors are important pharmacological targets for inflammatory muscle pain.

Swimming Physical Training Prevented the Onset of Acute Muscle Pain by a Mechanism Dependent of PPARγ Receptors and CINC-1.
    Neuroscience, 2020, 02-10, Volume: 427

    Regular physical exercise has been described as a good strategy for prevention or reduction of musculoskeletal pain. The Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma (PPARγ) has been investigated as a promising target for the control of inflammatory pain. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate whether activation of PPARγ receptors is involved in the reduction of acute muscle pain by chronic exercise and, in this case, whether this process is modulated by inflammatory cytokines. To this end, Wistar rats were submitted to swimming physical training for a period of 10 weeks, 5 days per week, 40 min/day, in an intensity of 4% of the body mass. Muscle hyperalgesia was measured by Randall Selitto test and pro-inflammatory cytokines were quantified by ELISA. The results showed that swimming physical training prevented the onset of acute mechanical muscle hyperalgesia and the increase in muscle levels of Cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant 1 (CINC-1) induced by carrageenan into gastrocnemius muscle. In addition, local pre-treatment with the selective PPARγ receptors antagonist GW9662 reversed the mechanical muscle hypoalgesia and the modulation of CINC-1 levels induced by swimming physical training. These data suggest that swimming physical training prevented the onset of acute mechanical muscle hyperalgesia by a mechanism dependent of PPARγ receptors, which seems to contribute to this process by modulation of the pro-inflammatory cytokine CINC-1, and highlight the potential of PPARγ receptors as a target to control musculoskeletal pain and to potentiate the reduction of musculoskeletal pain induced by exercise.
