Abstract
Background: The neuropeptides calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P are important mediators of neurogenic inflammation when they are released from activated primary nociceptive afferents. It is long evident that neuropeptides play an important role in migraine pathophysiology, but the significance of neurogenic inflammation is still debated.
Methods: In an approved hemisected rodent head preparation, we measured CGRP release from the cranial dura mater in parallel with substance P release using animals pre-treated with anti-CGRP antibodies or control solutions.
Results: Apart from the known decrease in CGRP release following antibody treatment, we found a significant inverse correlation of basal and stimulated CGRP versus substance P release across all experiments. The results are discussed in connection with our previously published data.
Conclusions: An increase in CGRP release seems to inhibit substance P release in meningeal structures possibly decreasing substance P-dependent plasma extravasation, which argues against a significant role of neurogenic inflammation in migraine.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Headache and Pain, a peer-reviewed open-access journal published under the BMC brand, a part of Springer Nature, is dedicated to researchers engaged in all facets of headache and related pain syndromes. It encompasses epidemiology, public health, basic science, translational medicine, clinical trials, and real-world data.
With a multidisciplinary approach, The Journal of Headache and Pain addresses headache medicine and related pain syndromes across all medical disciplines. It particularly encourages submissions in clinical, translational, and basic science fields, focusing on pain management, genetics, neurology, and internal medicine. The journal publishes research articles, reviews, letters to the Editor, as well as consensus articles and guidelines, aimed at promoting best practices in managing patients with headaches and related pain.
