We investigated the effect of chloride and potassium channel blockers on the antinociception induced by GABA(C) receptor agonist CACA (cis-4-aminocrotonic acid) using the paw pressure test, in which pain sensitivity was increased by an intraplantar injection (2 mu g) of prostaglandin E-2 (PGE(2)). CACA administered locally into the right hindpaw (25, 50 and 100 mu g/paw) elicited a dose-dependent aminociceptive effect which was demonstrated to be local, since only higher doses produced an effect when injected in the contralateral paw. The GABA(C) receptor antagonist (1,2,5,6 tetrahydropyridin-4-yl) methylphosphinic acid (TPMPA; 5, 10 and 20 mu g/paw) antagonized, in a dose-dependent manner, the peripheral antinociception induced by CACA (100 mu g), suggesting a specific effect. This effect was reversed by the chloride channel coupled receptor blocker picrotoxin (0.8 mu g/paw). Glibenclamide (160 mu g) and tolbutamide (320 mu g), blockers of ATP-sensitive potassium channels, charybdotoxin (2 mu g), a large-conductance potassium channel blocker, dequalinium (50 mu g), a small-conductance potassium channel blocker, and cesium (500 mu g), a nonspecific potassium channel blocker did not modify the peripheral antinociception induced by CACA. This study provides evidence that activation of GABA(C) receptors in the periphery induces antinociception, that this effect results from the activation of chloride channel coupled GABA(C) receptors and that potassium channels appear not to be involved.
