This study tested the hypothesis that antinociceptive effects of galanin and its receptors in nucleus accumbens (NAc) of rats with inflammatory pain provoked by subcutaneous injection of 0.1 ml of 2% carrageenin into the sole of the rat's left hindpaw. The hindpaw withdrawal latencies (HWLs) in response to thermal and mechanical stimulation significantly decreased in bilateral hindpaws at 3 and 4 hour after a subcutaneous injection of carrageenin. However intra-NAc injection of 2 and 3 nmol, but not 1 nmol of galanin markedly induced an increase in the HWLs in a dose-dependent way. Western blot also showed, that the expression of galanin receptor 1 (GalR1) and galanin receptor 2 (Ga1R2) were significantly upregulated in NAc at 3 hour after a subcutaneous injection of carrageenin. In addition, the rats were intra-NAc injected galanin, 5 min later following by intra-NAc injection of galanin receptor antagonist galantide, the galanin-induce antinociceptive effects were suppressed by galantide. The results demonstrated that galanin and its receptors might be involved in antinociception in the NAc of rats with inflammatory pain. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
