Abstract
The N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) contributes to central sensitization in the spinal cord, a phenomenon which comprises various pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for neuropathic pain-like signs in animal models. NMDAR function is modulated by post-translational modifications including phosphorylation, and this is proposed to underlie its involvement in the production of pain hypersensitivity. As in diabetic patients, streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats exhibit or not somatic mechanical hyperalgesia; these rats were named DH and DNH respectively. At three weeks of diabetes, we present evidence that somatic mechanical hyperalgesia was correlated with an enhanced phosphorylation of the NMDAR NR1 subunit (pNR1) in the rat spinal cord. This increase was not found in normal and DNH rats, suggesting that this regulation was specific to hyperalgesia. Double immunofluorescence studies revealed that the numbers of pNR1-immunoreactive neurons and microglial cells were significantly increased in all laminae (I-II and III-VI) of the dorsal horn from DH animals. Western-blots analysis showed no change in NR1 protein levels, whatever the behavioural and glycemic status of the animals. Chronic intrathecal treatment (5_g/rat/day for 7days) by U0126 and MK801, which blocked MEK (an upstream kinase of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase: ERK) and the NMDAR respectively, simultaneously suppressed somatic mechanical hyperalgesia developed by diabetic rats and decreased pNR1. These results indicate for the first time that increased expression of pNR1 is regulated by ERK and the NMDAR via a feedforward mechanism in spinal neurons and microglia and represents one mechanism involved in central sensitization and somatic mechanical hyperalgesia after diabetes.

Dedicated to small animals, like mice and rats, Smalgo is a pressure-based analgesimeter designed for easy assessment of sensitivity threshold. It is a must for osteo-arthritis and pain studies. A quick, easy-to-use and reliable instrument to assess threshold sensitivity of the animal when applying a progressive force, which can also be used for drug screening, phenotyping, as well as on studies about neuropathy, inflammation and post-operative pain. Now wireless, to be free from annoying cables!
