Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) causes neuropathic pain with demyelination in sensory fibers. In dorsal root (DR) ex vivo culture, the addition of 0.1 mu M LPA caused a characteristic demyelination at 24 h in scanning and transmission electron microscopy analyses. Moreover, direct contact between C-fibers due to loss of partition by Schwarm cell in Remak bundles was observed. LPA-induced demyclination of DR was concentration-dependent in the range between 0.01 and I M, and was abolished by BoNT/C3 and Y-27632, a RhoA and Rho kinase inhibitor, respectively. The demyelination was equivalent between the preparations with and without dorsal root ganglion. LPA also caused a down-regulation of myelin proteins, such as myelin basic protein (MBP) and myelin protein zero (MPZ) to approximately 70% of control. All these findings suggest that the demyelination observed in the neuropathic pain due to nerve injury occurs through a direct action of LPA on Schwann cells. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
