Previous studies of peripheral immune cells have documented that activation of adenosine 2A receptors (A2AR) decrease pro-inflammatory cytokine release and increase release of the potent anti-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-10 (IL-10). Given the growing literature supporting that glial proinflammatory cytokines importantly contribute to neuropathic pain, and that IL-10 can suppress such pain, we evaluated the effects of intrathecally (i.t.) administered A2AR agonists on neuropathic pain using the chronic constriction injury (CCI) model. A single i.t. injection of the A2AR agonists ATL313 or CGS21680, 10-14 d after CCI versus sham surgery, produced a long-duration reversal of mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia for at least 4 wk. Neither drug altered the nociceptive responses of sham-operated controls. An A2AR antagonist (ZM241385) co-administered i.t. with ATL313 abolished the action of ATL313 in rats with neuropathy-induced allodynia, but had no effect on allodynia in the absence of the A2AR agonist. ATL313 attenuated CCI-induced upregulation of spinal cord activation markers for microglia and astrocytes in the L4-L6 spinal cord segments both 1 wk and 4 wk after a single i.t. ATL313 administration. Neutralizing IL-10 antibodies administered i.t. transiently abolished the effect of ATL313 on neuropathic pain. In addition, IL-10 mRNA was significantly elevated in the CSF cells collected from the lumbar region. Activation of A2ARs following i.t. administration may be a novel, therapeutic approach for the treatment of neuropathic pain by increasing IL-10 in the immunocompetent cells of the CNS.
