Activation of cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors suppresses neuropathic nociception evoked by the chemotherapeutic agent vincristine in rats
Open accessAbstract
Background and purpose: The ability of cannabinoids to suppress mechanical hypersensitivity (mechanical allodynia) induced by treatment with the chemotherapeutic agent vincristine was evaluated in rats. Sites of action were subsequently identified. Experimental approach: Mechanical hypersensitivity developed over the course of ten daily injections of vincristine relative to groups receiving saline at the same times. Effects of the CB 1/CB 2 receptor agonist WIN55,212‐2, the receptor‐inactive enantiomer WIN55,212‐3, the CB 2‐selective agonist (R,S)‐AM1241, the opiate agonist morphine and vehicle on chemotherapy‐induced neuropathy were evaluated. WIN55,212‐2 was administered intrathecally (i.t.) or locally in the hindpaw to identify sites of action. Pharmacological specificity was established using competitive antagonists for CB 1 (SR141716) or CB 2 receptors (SR144528). Key results: Systemic administration of WIN55,212‐2, but not WIN55,212‐3, suppressed vincristine‐evoked mechanical allodynia. A leftward shift in the dose‐response curve was observed following WIN55,212‐2 relative to morphine treatment. The CB 1 (SR141716) and CB 2 (SR144528) antagonists blocked the anti‐allodynic effects of WIN55,212‐2. (R,S)‐AM1241 suppressed vincristine‐induced mechanical hypersensitivity through a CB 2 mechanism. Both cannabinoid agonists suppressed vincristine‐induced mechanical hypersensitivity without inducing catalepsy. Spinal sites of action are implicated in cannabinoid modulation of chemotherapy‐induced neuropathy. WIN55,212‐2, but not WIN55,212‐3, administered i.t. suppressed vincristine‐evoked mechanical hypersensitivity at doses that were inactive following local hindpaw administration. Spinal coadministration of both the CB 1 and CB 2 antagonists blocked the anti‐allodynic effects of WIN55,212‐2. Conclusions and implications: Cannabinoids suppress the maintenance of vincristine‐induced mechanical allodynia through activation of CB 1 and CB 2 receptors. These anti‐allodynic effects are mediated, at least in part, at the level of the spinal cord.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
