Abstract
The dorsal horn of the spinal cord is a crucial site for pain transmission and modulation. Dorsal horn neurons of the spinal cord express group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (group I mGluRs) that exert a complex role in nociceptive transmission. In particular, group I mGluRs promote the activation of L-type calcium channels, voltage-gated channels involved in short- and long-term sensitization to pain. In this study, we analyzed the role of group I mGluRs in spinal nociceptive transmission and the possible cooperation between these receptors and L-type calcium channels in the pathophysiology of pain transmission in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. We demonstrate that the activation of group I mGluRs induces allodynia and L-type calcium channel-dependent increase in nociceptive field potentials following sciatic nerve stimulation. Surprisingly, in a model of persistent inflammation induced by complete FreundÕs adjuvant, the activation of group I mGluRs induced an analgesia and a decrease in nociceptive field potentials. Among the group I mGluRs, mGluR1 promotes the activation of L-type calcium channels and increased nociceptive transmission while mGluR5 induces the opposite through the inhibitory network. These results suggest a functional switch exists in pathological conditions that can change the action of group I mGluR agonists into possible analgesic molecules, thereby suggesting new therapeutic perspectives to treat persistent pain in inflammatory settings.

As an electronic version of the classical Von Frey Filaments esthesiometer (or aesthesiometer), the latest evolution of Bioseb's Electronic Von Frey instrument for determining the mechanical sensitivity threshold in rodents (rats and mice) is a must-have instrument for your reseach on hyperalgesia and allodynia. By measuring and recording the force at which the animal exhibits a paw withdrawal reflex, pathologies related to sensory response and hyper- or hypo-aesthesia can be studied.

The EVF5 includes an embedded camera inside the stimulator handle and a new, dedicated software revolutionizing the experimental process.
