Abstract
Toward the goal of defining new pharmacological targets for the treatment of chronic pain conditions, in previous studies we established a model, termed 'hyperalgesic priming,' in which an acute inflammatory stimulus causes a long-lasting latent susceptibility to hyperalgesia induced by subsequent exposures to the inflammatory mediator, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Those investigations suggested the hypothesis that priming induces a novel linkage between the PGE2-activated second messenger cascade and the epsilon isoform of protein kinase C (PKCepsilon). In the present study, comparison of dose-response relations for hyperalgesia produced by PGE2, forskolin, 8-Br-cAMP, or the protein kinase A (PKA) catalytic subunit, in primed versus normal animals, demonstrated that priming-induced enhancement of the PGE2-activated second messenger cascade occurs downstream to adenylate cyclase and upstream to PKA. Therefore, PGE2-induced hyperalgesia in the primed animal is enhanced by the recruitment of a novel cAMP/PKCepsilon signaling pathway in addition to the usual cAMP/PKA pathway. These observations suggest that pharmacological disruption of the novel interaction between cAMP and PKCepsilon might provide a route toward the development of highly specific methods to reverse cellular processes that underlie chronic pain states.
