The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of drugs that activate inhibitory G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) expressed in peripheral NaV1.8-positive sensory neurons to control osteoarthritis associated pain. Therefore, we used Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by a Designer Drug (DREADD) technology, which utilizes engineered GPCRs to activate or inhibit neurons upon binding the synthetic ligand, clozapine-N-oxide. NaV1.8-Pdi C57BL/6 mice were created to express the inhibitory DREADD receptor, Pdi, in NaV1.8-expressing sensory neurons. Destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) was performed in 10-week old male mice. Four, 8, 12 or 16 weeks after surgery, knee hyperalgesia or hindpaw mechanical allodynia were tested. Subsequently, clozapine-N-oxide or vehicle was administered and the effect on behaviors was measured by a blinded observer. Morphine was used as a control. Immunohistochemistry and electrophysiology confirmed functional expression of the Pdi receptor by NaV1.8-positive sensory neurons. Acute inhibition of NaV1.8-expressing neurons in mice treated with clozapine-N-oxide reduced knee hyperalgesia 4 weeks after DMM and mechanical allodynia 8 weeks after DMM. Inhibition had no effect on behaviors 12 and 16 weeks after DMM. Morphine, a drug that activates GPCRs in the peripheral and central nervous systems, was still effective in the later stage. Chemogenetic inhibition of NaV1.8-expressing neurons blocks knee hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia in early experimental osteoarthritis, but is no longer efficacious in the later stages. These data indicate that activation of inhibitory GPCRs located solely outside the central nervous system may be ineffective in treating chronic osteoarthritis pain.
