摘要
The present study was designed to observe the effect of orphanin FQ (OFQ, also known as 'nociceptin'), a newly-discovered neuropeptide, on pain behavior and morphine analgesia evaluated by formalin test in rats. It was found that intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of 0.1 mu g OFQ had no effect on formalin-induced pain behavior; but 1, 5, 10 or 20 mu g OFQ produced prolonged lifting, licking, biting or shaking of the affected paw with higher pain scoring in dose dependent manner. Repeated i.c.v. injection of antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) complementary to OFQ receptor but not mismatch oligonucleotide (MSG) resulted in the decrease of pain behavior; in such circumstances, OFQ showed no enhancing effect on formalin nociception. OFQ (0.1 or 1 mu g, i.c.v.) significantly attenuated morphine analgesia and ASO could validly antagonize the effect of it. Pretreatment with MSO had no such effect. The present results suggest that OFQ enhances the pain behavior of rat and antagonizes morphine analgesia in formalin test. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
