摘要
(1) Background: Acupuncture (AP) is a safe and effective analgesic therapy. Understanding how fine needles trigger biological signals can help us optimize needling manipulation to improve its efficiency. Adenosine accumulation in treated acupoints is a vital related event. Here, we hypothesized that extracellular ATP (eATP) mobilization preceded adenosine accumulation, which involved local activation of mechanosensitive channels, especially TRPV4 protein. (2) Methods: AP was applied at the injured-side Zusanli acupoint (ST36) of acute ankle arthritis rats. Pain thresholds were assessed in injured-side hindpaws. eATP in microdialysate from the acupoints was determined by luminescence assay. (3) Results: AP analgesic effect was significantly suppressed by pre-injection of GdCl3 or ruthenium red in ST36, the wide-spectrum inhibitors of mechanosensitive channels, or by HC067047, a specific antagonist of TRPV4 channels. Microdialysate determination revealed a needling-induced transient eATP accumulation that was significantly decreased by pre-injection of HC067047. Additionally, preventing eATP hydrolysis by pre-injection of ARL67156, a non-specific inhibitor of ecto-ATPases, led to the increase in eATP levels and the abolishment of AP analgesic effect. (4) Conclusions: These observations indicate that needling-induced transient accumulation of eATP, due to the activation of mechanosensitive TRPV4 channels and the activities of ecto-ATPases, is involved in the trigger mechanism of AP analgesia.
