Electroacupuncture at “Jiaji” (EX-B2) induced down-regulation of OX-42 and P2X4 in lumbar spinal cord contributes to its analgesic after-effect in rats with chronic constriction injury
Objective To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture(EA)at"Jiaji"(EX-B2)at different time points on the expression of OX-42(a monoclonal antibody with specific expression of complement receptor-3 in spinal microglial cells)and purinergic receptor P2X4(P2X4)in rats with chronic constriction injury(CCI)of the sciatic nerve
as well as the possible aftereffect mechanism of EA analgesia in neuropathic pain.Methods Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into blank group
model group
immediately after EA group
0.5-hour after EA group
1-hour after EA group
2-hour after EA group
4-hour after EA group
12-hour after EA group
and 24-hour after EA group
with 6 rats in each group.The rats in the model group and the EA groups were used to establish a model of CCI-induced neuropathic pain
and those in the immediately after EA group and the 0.5

12 and 24 hours after EA groups were treated with EA at bilateral L3 and L5 "Jiaji"points for 20 min after 7 dof modeling.Samples were collected immediately and at 0.5

12
and 24 hours after EA
and for the rats in the blank group and the model group
samples were collected after fixation the rats for 20 min.Heat pain threshold was observed before and after intervention
and immunohistochemistry was used to measure the protein expression of OX-42 and P2X4 in the spinal cord lumbar enlargement.Results After 7 days of modeling(before intervention)
compared with the blank group
the heat pain threshold had a significant reduction in the model group and the EA groups(P<0.01).Compared with the model group after intervention
the immediately after EA group and the 0.5
1 and 2 hours after EA groups had a significant increase in heat pain threshold(P<0.05).Compared with the model group
immediately after EA
the 0.5
1 and 2 hours after EA groups had a significant reduction in the protein expression of OX-42(P<0.01)
and immediately after EA
the 0.5 and 1 hour after EA groups had a significant reduction in the protein expression of P2X4(P<0.01).Conclusion EA at "Jiaji" points can significantly increase heat pain threshold and down-regulate the protein expression of OX-42 and P2X4 in the spinal cord of CCI rats.The analgesic effect can last for 2 h.
