The effects of the tachykinin antagonist Spantide II (D-Nic-Lys1,3-Pal3,D-Cl2Phe5,Asn6,D-Trp7,9,Nl e11)-substance P (SP) and the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) antagonist (Ac-Tyr1,D-Phe2)-GRF(1-29)-NH2 on the excitability of the spinal nociceptive flexor reflex to intrathecally (i.t.) applied SP and VIP, respectively, as well as the facilitation evoked by activation of cutaneous C-afferent was examined. Both antagonists blocked the effects of the respective neuropeptides in rats with both intact and sectioned sciatic nerves. Spantide II antagonised C-afferent induced reflex facilitation in rats with intact nerves, but the degree of antagonism declined after axotomy. In contrast, the VIP antagonist did not block C-afferent induced facilitation in rats with intact nerves, but did so after axotomy. The results indicate that the role of tachykinins in mediating C-afferent-induced reflex facilitation is taken over by VIP after axotomy.
速激肽拮抗剂Spantide II(D-异亮氨酸-赖氨酸1,3-棕榈酰3,D-二氯苯丙氨酸5,天冬酰胺6,D-色氨酸7,9,Nle11)-P物质(SP)和血管活性肠肽(VIP)拮抗剂(Ac-酪氨酸1,D-苯丙氨酸2)-GRF(1-29)-NH2分别对鞘内(i.t.)注射SP和VIP时脊髓伤害性屈肌反射兴奋性的影响,以及对皮肤C类传入纤维激活所诱发的易化作用进行了研究。两种拮抗剂均能阻断完整和切断坐骨神经大鼠中各自神经肽的作用。Spantide II能拮抗完整神经大鼠中C类传入纤维诱发的反射易化作用,但在轴突切断后拮抗程度下降。相反,VIP拮抗剂在完整神经大鼠中不能阻断C类传入纤维诱发的易化作用,但在轴突切断后可以。结果表明,轴突切断后,速激肽在介导C类传入纤维诱发的反射易化作用中的作用被VIP取代。
