The present study was performed to explore the effect of the galanin receptor 2 (GalR2) antagonist M871 on the galanin-induced antinociception in periaqueductal grey (PAG), and an involvement of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) in the galanin-induced antinociception. Intra-PAG injection of galanin induced marked increases in HWLs to noxious thermal and mechanical stimulation. The increased HWLs to thermal and mechanical stimulation decreased significantly after intra-PAG administration of the GalR2 antagonist M871, indicating an involvement of GalR2 in the galanin-induced antinociception in PAG of rats. Furthermore, rats received intra-PAG injection of galanin, followed 5 min later by intra-PAG administration of the CaMKII inhibitor MAP. The galanin-induced increases in HWLs to thermal and mechanical stimulation decreased significantly after intra-PAG administration of MAP, indicating that there is an involvement of CaMKII in the galanin-induced antinociception in PAG, blockade the activity of CaMKII by MAP inhibits the galanin-induced antinociception in PAG of rats. Our results strongly indicate that the galanin-induced antinociception is mediated by GalR2 in the PAG, and CaMKII may be involved in the galanin-induced antinociception in PAG of rats.
