Propofol Alleviates Neuropathic Pain Induced by Chronic Contractile Injury by Regulating the Spinal glun2b-p38mapkepac1 Pathway
Background. Propofol acts as an intravenous anesthetic cure which is widely used as a therapy for the craniocerebral injury that comprised surgical anesthesia as well as the sedation done in the intensive care units. Propofol is one of the most commonly used and efficient anesthetics where the painf...

Propofol acts as an intravenous anesthetic cure which is widely used as a therapy for the craniocerebral injury that comprised surgical anesthesia as well as the sedation done in the intensive care units. Propofol is one of the most commonly used and efficient anesthetics where the painful effects are followed by an injection of propofol. In many cases, patients experience pain followed by anxiety, boredom, fear, and even myocardial ischemia. Objective. This study was performed to investigate the underlying mechanism of propofol and its effect on regulating spinal glun2b-p38mapkepac1 pathways in chronic contractile injury. Material and Methods. Contractile injury was performed by ligation around the nerve of the thigh region postanesthesia. Rats were divided into three groups to analyze the changes like mechanical allodynia by the paw withdrawal threshold and histopathological analysis for assessing cellular degradation. L4-L6 from the spinal dorsal horns were isolated and harvested for studying protein expression, by the method of western blotting and immunofluorescence analysis. Results. The pain caused due to mechanical allodynia in the paw region was highest at 1 hour postinduction and lasted for three days postinjury. Pain was significantly less in the group receiving propofol when compared with the isoflurane group for the first two hours of injury. In the propofol group, EPAC1, GluN2B, and p38 MAP K were significantly lower. Conclusion. In the rat model of induced chronic contractile injury, postsurgery there was a suppression of the GluN2B-p38MAPK/EPAC1 signaling pathway in the propofol group. As the p38MAPK/EPAC pathway has a significant role in the postoperative hyperalgesia, thus our experiment suggests that propofol has analgesic effects.Wen LiChenguang QinJianYong YanQian ZhaoLu YouYe YangHindawi LimitedarticleComputer applications to medicine.
