Activation of p38 MAP kinase (MAPK) in the spinal cord has been implicated in the development and maintenance of pain states. In this study, we tested whether p38 MAPK is involved in the response to first-degree burn of the hindpaw. This injury induces central sensitization leading to tactile allodynia, mediated by activation of Ca2+ permeable AMPA/kainate receptors through PKC and PKA. We demonstrate that p38 MAPK is rapidly and robustly activated in the superficial spinal dorsal horn after mild thermal injury to the hindpaw. Activated p38 MAPK was localized primarily to microglia and to a lesser extent in oligodendrocytes and lamina II neurons. Astrocytes were not involved in the p38 MAPK response. Intrathecal pretreatment of pharmacological inhibitors of p38 MAPK (SB203580, SD-282) dose-dependently blocked development of tactile allodynia, a characteristic of the first-degree burn model. The effects of the inhibitors on tactile allodynia were lost when they were administered post-injury. These studies identify p38 MAPK as a major mediator of tactile allodynia, most likely activated downstream of AMPA/kainate receptors.
