Abstract

The nociception by intraplantar (i.pl.) lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) injection was significantly, but partially blocked when mice received intrathecal (i.t.) antisense oligodeoxynucleotide treatment for the vzg-1 type LPA-receptor. The residual LPA-nociception observed under the condition of pertussis toxin-treatment, which is expected to block presynaptic contribution, was abolished by diphenhydramine (i.pl.), and H1-type histamine receptor antagonist. Taking into account that vzg-1 mRNA was detected in the dorsal root ganglion by RT-PCR method, these findings suggest that the LPA- induced nociception is attributed to the mechanism through vzg-1 receptor on nociceptor endings, and to that through unidentified LPA-receptor on peripheral, possibly mast cells.
