We previously reported estrogen modulates spinal NMDA receptor processing of colorectal pain through changes in spinal GluN1 subunit phosphorylation/expression. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether spinal GluN2B containing NMDA receptors are involved in estrogen modulation of visceral pain processing. Behavioral, molecular and immunocytochemical techniques were used to determine spinal GluN2B expression/phosphorylation and function 48 hrs following subcutaneous injection of estradiol (E2) or vehicle (safflower oil, Saff oil) in ovariectomized rats in the absence or presence of colonic inflammation induced by mustard oil. E2 increased the magnitude of the visceromotor response (VMR) to colorectal distention compared to Saff oil in non-inflamed rats. Intrathecal injection of the GluN2B subunit antagonist, Ro 25-6981, had no effect on the VMR in non-inflamed E2 or Saff oil rats. Colonic inflammation induced visceral hyperalgesia in E2, but not Saff oil rats. Visceral hyperalgesia in E2 rats was blocked by intrathecal GluN2B subunit selective antagonists. In inflamed rats, E2 increased GluN2B protein and gene expression in the thoracolumbar (TL), but not lumbosacral (LS), dorsal spinal cord. Immunocytochemical labeling showed a significant increase of GluN2B subunit in the superficial dorsal horn of E2 rats compared to Saff oil rats. These data support the hypothesis that estrogen increases spinal processing of colonic inflammation-induced visceral hyperalgesia by increasing NMDA receptor activity. Specifically, an increase in the activity of GluN2B containing NMDA receptors in the TL spinal cord by estrogen underlies visceral hypersensitivity in the presence of colonic inflammation.
