The present study examined the levels of NMDA receptor NR2 subunit
tyrosine phosphorylation in a rat model of inflammation and correlated
it with the development of inflammation and hyperalgesia. Hindpaw
inflammation and hyperalgesia were induced by intraplantar injection of
complete Freund's adjuvant. Proteins from the spinal cord
(L4-L5) were immunoprecipitated with anti-NR2A or anti-NR2B antibodies
and used for subsequent analysis using 4G-10, a specific anti-phosphotyrosine antibody. Compared with naive rats, there was a
rapid and prolonged increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of the NR2B,
but not NR2A, subunit after inflammation. The increase in NR2B tyrosine
phosphorylation was dependent on primary afferent drive because (1) the
phosphorylation correlated with the temporal profile of inflammation
and hyperalgesia, (2) shorter-duration noxious stimulation produced a
rapid and shorter-lasting increase in phosphorylation, and (3) local
anesthetic block of the injected paw reversibly blocked
inflammation-induced NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation and delayed
hyperalgesia. The increase in NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation was
abolished by intrathecal pretreatment with genistein, a tyrosine kinase
inhibitor; PP2, an Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitor; AIDA, a group
I metabotropic glutamate receptor antagonist; L733,060, an NK1
tachykinin receptor antagonist, and chelerythrine, a protein kinase C
inhibitor. In addition, intrathecal PP2 delayed the onset of mechanical
hyperalgesia and allodynia. These findings correlate in
vivo NMDA receptor tyrosine phosphorylation with the
development and maintenance of inflammatory hyperalgesia and suggest
that signal transduction upstream to NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation involves G-protein-coupled receptors and PKC and Src family protein tyrosine kinases.
