The involvement of glia in long-term plasticity in the spinal dorsal horn of the rat.
Neuroreport 2002 October 8
We have examined the potential role of spinal glial cells in the induction of C fiber-evoked long-term potentiation (LTP) in the spinal cord. Tetanic stimulation of the sciatic nerve induced longterm potentiation of C-fiber-evoked field potentials in the spinal dorsal horn in all rats. Following intrathecal fluorocitrate (1 nmol), a glial metabolic inhibitor, tetanic stimulation induced longterm depression (LTD) but not LTP. The effects of fluorocitrate were abolished by kynurenic acid or 2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid (AP-5), but not by 6,7-dinitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (DNQX), picrotoxin or strychnine. These data suggest that spinal glial cells may modulate the central sensitization of nociceptive neurons via NMDA receptors.
