Abstract

The acidic saline animal model of pain has been suggested to mimic fibromyalgia (FM). Oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes (OPC) from grape seeds are known to act as an antioxidant. We studied the effects of OPC on the pain threshold in the acidic saline animal model of pain. The left gastrocnemius muscle was injected with $100\;{\mu}l$ of saline at pH 4.0 under brief isoflurane anesthesia on days 0 and 5. Control rats (n=5) received identical injections of physiological saline (pH 7.2) on the same schedule. Rats (n=10) with acidic saline injection were separated into two study subgroups. After measurement of pre-drug pain thresholds, rats were injected intraperitoneally with either saline or OPC 300 mg/kg. Paw withdrawal thresholds to pressure were again measured 60 min after intraperitoneal injection. Nociceptive thresholds were measured with a Dynamic Plantar Aesthesiometer by applying an increasing pressure to right or left hind paw until the rat withdrew the paw. Compared to baseline (day 0), acid injections produced mechanical hyper-responsiveness on day 7 (pre-drug) in these rats [p<0.05]. A potent antihyperalgesic effect was observed when rats were injected intraperitoneally with OPC 300 mg/kg [injected paw, p=0.001; contralateral paw, p=0.002]. OPC treatment decreased the expression of acid sensing ion channel 3 in the brain motor cortex area on immunohistochemical staining when OPC 300 mg/kg was administered intraperitoneally in the animal model of FM pain [p<0.05]. Further research is required to determine the efficacy of OPC treatments in FM pain in humans.

산성 식염수 쥐모델은 사람의 섬유근통에 근접한 모델로 제시되고 있다. 포도씨에서 얻은 oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes (OPC)는 항산화제로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 산성 식염수 모델에서 통증 역치에 대한 OPC의 효과를 연구했다. 좌측 장딴지 근육에 pH 4.0의 산성 식염수 $100\;{\mu}l$를 0일과 5일에 주사했다. 대조군은 pH 7.2의 생리 식염수를 같은 스케줄로 주사했다. 산성 식염수 그룹 10마리를 다시 두 그룹으로 나누어 한 그룹은 멸균 식염수, 다른 한 그룹은 OPC 300 mg/kg를 복강 내 주사했다. 복강 내 주사 한시간 후 다시 통각에 대한 역치를 조사했다. 0일에 비해 7일에서 산성 식염수 모델은 기계적 과통각을 나타냈다(p<0.05). OPC 300 mg/kg를 복강내 주사한 그룹에서 강력한 항통각 효과를 나타냈다(주사측 발바닥, p=0.001; 반대측 발바닥, p=0.002). 면역조직화학 염색상 복강내 식염수를 처치한 대조군에 비해 OPC 처치군에서 대뇌의 M1 및 M2 영역에서 산-감지 이온 통로3의 발현이 감소되었다(p<0.05). 사람의 섬유근통에서 OPC 치료의 효과를 보기 위한 연구가 향후 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
