Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), an initiator of neuropathic pain, causes allodynia. However, few studies have evaluated the pharmacological profile of LPA-induced pain. In this study, a LPA-induced pain model was developed and pharmacologically characterized with clinically relevant drugs used for neuropathic pain, including antiepileptics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, analgesics, local anaesthetics/antiarrhythmics and antidepressants. Gabapentin (130?mg/kg, p.o.) significantly reversed LPA-induced allodynia, but neither indomethacin (30?mg/kg, p.o.) nor morphine (0.33?mg/kg, s.c.) did, which indicates that LPA-induced pain consists mostly of neuropathic rather than inflammatory pain. Both pregabalin (0.310?mg/kg, p.o.) and ?-CgTX MVIIA (0.010.03?mu g/mouse, i.t.) completely reversed LPA-induced allodynia in a dose-dependent manner. Lidocaine (130?mg/kg, s.c.), mexiletine (130?mg/kg, p.o.) and carbamazepine (10100?mg/kg, p.o.) significantly ameliorated LPA-induced allodynia dose dependently. Milnacipran (30?mg/kg, i.p.) produced no significant analgesic effect in LPA-induced allodynia. In LPA-injected mice, expression of the a2d1 subunit of the voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) was increased in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and spinal dorsal horn. Furthermore, the VGCC current was potentiated in both the DRG from LPA-injected mice and LPA (1?mu M)-treated DRG from saline-injected mice, and the potentiated VGCC current was amended by treatment with gabapentin (100?mu M). The LPA-induced pain model described here mimics aspects of the neuropathic pain state, including the sensitization of VGCC, and may be useful for the early assessment of drug candidates to treat neuropathic pain.
