Resumen
Acupuncture-induced analgesia depends on the activation of endogenous pain modulation pathways. In this study, we asked whether ascending nociceptive control (ANC), a form of pain-induced analgesia, contributes to the antinociceptive effect of acupuncture. To answer this question, we tested the ability of procedures that block ANC-induced analgesia, at peripheral, spinal, nucleus accumbens and rostral ventral medulla levels, to block acupuncture-induced analgesia. Acupuncture at ST36 (Zusanli), a widely used acupoint located in the hind limb, induced potent heterosegmental antinociception in the orofacial formalin test. The magnitude of this antinociceptive effect was similar to that induced by an intraplantar injection of capsaicin, a procedure classically used to activate ANC. The antinociceptive effect of acupuncture was blocked by sciatic C-fibers depletion (1% perineural capsaicin), spinal administration of a μ-opioid (Cys2,Tyr3,Orn5,Pen7amide,.2 μg) or of a GABAA (bicuculline,.3 μg) receptor antagonist, intra-nucleus accumbens administration of a μ-opioid receptor antagonist (Cys2,Tyr3,Orn5,Pen7amide, 1 μg), or intrarostral ventral medulla administration of a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist (mecamylamine,.6 μg). In addition, acupuncture at ST36 and/or upper lip formalin induced c-Fos expression in the nucleus accumbens and in rostral ventral medulla. On the basis of these results, we propose that ANC contributes to the antinociceptive effect of acupuncture. Perspective This article presents a novel mechanism of acupuncture analgesia, contributing to the understanding of its scientific basis. Because ANC is a pain modulation pathway activated by peripheral noxious stimulation that ascends to supraspinal regions, it could be the link between acupoint stimulation and the central mechanisms underlying acupuncture analgesia. © 2014 by the American Pain Society. 15 4 422 434 Behbehani, M.M., The role of acetylcholine in the function of the nucleus raphe magnus and in the interaction of this nucleus with the periaqueductal gray (1982) Brain Res, 252, pp. 299-307 Bing, Z., Villanueva, L., Le Bars, D., Acupuncture and diffuse noxious inhibitory controls: Naloxone-reversible depression of activities of trigeminal convergent neurons (1990) Neuroscience, 37, pp. 809-818 Bouhassira, D., Chitour, D., Villaneuva, L., Le Bars, D., The spinal transmission of nociceptive information: Modulation by the caudal medulla (1995) Neuroscience, 69, pp. 931-938 Brinkhaus, B., Witt, C.M., Jena, S., Linde, K., Streng, A., Wagenpfeil, S., Irnich, D., Willich, S.N., Acupuncture in patients with chronic low back pain: A randomized controlled trial (2006) Arch Intern Med, 166, pp. 450-457 Caterina, M.J., Schumacher, M.A., Tominaga, M., Rosen, T.A., Levine, J.D., Julius, D., The capsaicin receptor: A heat-activated ion channel in the pain pathway (1997) Nature, 389, pp. 816-824 Chen-Yu, C., Jen-Yi, L., Teh-Hsing, C., Yao-Hui, P., Shu-Chieh, C., Studies on spinal ascending pathway for effect of acupuncture analgesia in rabbits (1975) Sci Sin, 18, pp. 651-658 Chen, X.H., Han, J.S., Analgesia induced by electroacupuncture of different frequencies is mediated by different types of opioid receptors: Another cross-tolerance study (1992) Behav Brain Res, 47, pp. 143-149 Chen, X.H., Han, J.S., All three types of opioid receptors in the spinal cord are important for 2/15 Hz electroacupuncture analgesia (1992) Eur J Pharmacol, 211, pp. 203-210 Cheng, R.S., Pomeranz, B., Electroacupuncture analgesia could be mediated by at least two pain-relieving mechanisms Endorphin and non-endorphin systems (1979) Life Sci, 25, pp. 1957-1962 Cherkin, D.C., Sherman, K.J., Avins, A.L., Erro, J.H., Ichikawa, L., Barlow, W.E., Delaney, K., Deyo, R.A., A randomized trial comparing acupuncture, simulated acupuncture, and usual care for chronic low back pain (2009) Arch Intern Med, 169, pp. 858-866 Clement-Jones, V., McLoughlin, L., Tomlin, S., Besser, G.M., Rees, L.H., Wen, H.L., Increased beta-endorphin but not met-enkephalin levels in human cerebrospinal fluid after acupuncture for recurrent pain (1980) Lancet, 2, pp. 946-949 Dai, J.L., Zhu, Y.H., Li, X.Y., Huang, D.K., Xu, S.F., C-fos expression during electroacupuncture analgesia in rats -
