| Research Abstract |
1 The expression of c-fos-like immunoreactivity (For-IR) was studied in the trigeminal caudalis of the chloralose anesthetized Wister rats after injection of 0.05 ug of interleukin-1-bata (IL-1b) into the gingiva of the incisor or application of the orthodontical mechanical stimulation. IL-1b injection-induced Fos-IR (IL-1b) was suppressed by administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIds) at the early period postinjection. The results suggest that a small amount of IL-1b at the site of periodontal disease can induce Fos-IR in pain-processing neurons.
2 The effects of the antagonists and agonists of glutamate receptors on the expression of Fos-IR were examined after tooth pulp stimulation. MK-801, CNQX,AP-3, NMDA,AMPA and phorbol ester were intrathecally administered to rats 10 min prior to stimulation (0.2 ms, 0.6 mA,0.5 Hz, 10 min) ; the effects or each agent on the expression of Fos-IR was studied in the caudalis at 2 h post-stimulation. The results suggest that Ca^<2+> entry through an NMDA receptor is crucial to the induction of c-Fos and to the development of persistent pain.
