Background: Neuroinflammation is a critical feature of sensitisation of spinal nociceptive processing in chronic pain states. We hypothesised that the resolvin pathways, a unique endogenous control system, may ameliorate aberrant spinal processing of somatosensory inputs associated with chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CINP). Method: The paclitaxel (PCX) model of CINP was established in male Sprague-Dawley rats and compared to control rats (n = 23 and 22, respectively). Behavioural pain responses were measured, and either single unit electrophysiological recordings of dorsal horn wide dynamic range (WDR) neurones were performed, or mRNA microarray analysis of the dorsal horn of the spinal cord was undertaken. Results: PCX rats exhibited significant changes in behavioural responses to mechanical and cold stimuli. A higher proportion of WDR neurones in PCX rats were polymodal (generating post-discharge following a non-noxious mechanical stimulus, responding to non-noxious cold and exhibiting spontaneous activity) compared to control (p < 0.05). Microarray analysis revealed changes in proinflammatory pathways (Tlr, Tnfrsf1a, Nlrp1a, Cxcr1, Cxcr5, Ccr1, Cx3cr1) and anti-inflammatory lipid resolvin pathways (Alox5ap, Cyp2j4 and Ptgr1) compared to control (p < 0.05). Ingenuity pathway analysis predicted changes in glutamatergic and astrocyte signaling in the PCX group. Activation of the resolvin system via the spinal administration of aspirin-triggered resolvin D1 (AT-RvD1) markedly inhibited (73 ± 7% inhibition) normally non-noxious mechanically (8 g) evoked responses of WDR neurones only in PCX rats, whilst leaving responses to noxious mechanically induced stimuli intact. Inhibitory effects of AT-RvD1were comparable in magnitude to spinal morphine (84 ± 4% inhibition). Conclusion: The PCX model of CINP was associated with mechanical allodynia, altered neuronal responses and dysregulation of pro- and anti-inflammatory signalling in the spinal dorsal horn. The resolvin AT-RvD1 selectively inhibited low weight mechanical-evoked responses of WDR neurones in PCX rats, but not in controls. Our data support the targeting of spinal neuroinflammation via the activation of the resolvin system as a new therapeutic approach for CINP. 2020-11-18T09:27:06Z 2020-11-18T09:27:06Z 2020-12-01 Article Journal of Neuroinflammation.
