Spexin/NPQ is a novel highly conserved neuropeptide. It has a widespread expression in the periphery and central nervous system. However, the effects of central spexin on acute inflammatory pain are still unknown. This study explored the mechanisms and effects of supraspinal spexin on inflammatory pain. The results from the mouse formalin test show that i.c.v. administration of spexin decreased ticking/ biting time during the late and early phases. The nonamidated spexin had no effect on pain response. The antinociception of spexin was blocked by galanin receptor 3 antagonist SNAP 37889. The Galr3 and Adcy4 mRNA levels in the brain were increased after injection with spexin. The antinociceptive effects of spexin were completely reversed by opioid receptor antagonist naloxone and K-opioid receptor antagonist nor-binaltorphimine dihydrochloride. Spexin up-regulated the dynorphin and x-opioid receptor gene and protein expression. PCR array assay and real-time PCR analysis show that spexin up-regulated the mRNA level of the FBJ osteosarcoma oncogene (Fos). T-5224, the inhibitor of c FBJ osteosarcoma oncogene (c-Fos)/activator protein 1 (AP-1), blocked the increased mRNA level of Pdyn and Oprkl induced by spexin. I.C.V. spexin (2.43 mg/kg) increased the number of c-Fos positive neurons in most subsections of periaqueductat gray. In addition, in the acetic acid induced writhing test, i.c.v. spexin produced an antinociceptive effect. Our results indicate that spexin might be a novel neuropeptide with an antinociceptive effect against acute inflammatory pain.
