Although the neurokinin-1 (NK-1)/substance P (SP) receptor is
expressed by neurons throughout the spinal dorsal horn, noxious chemical stimulation in the normal rat only induces internalization of
the receptor in cell bodies and dendrites of lamina I. Here we compared
the effects of mechanical and thermal stimulation in normal rats and in
rats with persistent hindpaw inflammation. Electron microscopic
analysis confirmed the upregulation of receptor that occurs with
inflammation and demonstrated that in the absence of superimposed
stimulation, the increased receptor was, as in normal rats,
concentrated on the plasma membrane. In general, noxious mechanical was
more effective than noxious thermal stimulation in inducing NK-1
receptor internalization, and this was increased in the setting of
inflammation. Although a 5 sec noxious mechanical stimulus only induced
internalization in 22% of lamina I neurons in normal rats, after
inflammation, it evoked near-maximal (98%) internalization in lamina
I, produced significant changes in laminae III-VI, and expanded the
rostrocaudal distribution of neurons with internalized receptor. Even
non-noxious (brush) stimulation of the inflamed hindpaw induced
internalization in large numbers of superficial and deep neurons. For
thermal stimulation, the percentage of cells with internalized receptor
increased linearly at >45°C, but in normal rats, these were
restricted to lamina I. After inflammation, however, the 52°C
stimulus also induced internalization in 25% of laminae III-IV cells.
These studies provide a new perspective on the reorganization of dorsal
horn circuits in the setting of persistent injury and demonstrate a critical contribution of SP.
