This study aimed to explore these mechanisms, specifically the opioid-, cannabinoid-, nitric oxide-, and potassium channel-based mechanisms, which contribute to the peripheral antinociception effect of tramadol, in an experimental rat model. The nociceptive threshold was determined using paw pressure withdrawal. To examine the mechanisms of action, several substances were administered intraplantarly: naloxone, a non-selective opioid antagonist (50 µg/paw); AM251 (80 µg/paw) and AM630 (100 µg/paw) as the selective antagonists for types 1 and 2 cannabinoid receptors, respectively; nitric oxide synthase inhibitors L-NOArg, L-NIO, L-NPA, and L-NIL (24 µg/paw); and the enzyme inhibitors of guanylatocyclase and phosphodiesterase of cGMP, ODQ, and zaprinast. Additionally, potassium channel blockers glibenclamide, tetraethylammonium, dequalinium, and paxillin were used. The results showed that opioid and cannabinoid receptor antagonists did not reverse tramadol's effects. L-NOarg, L-NIO, and L-NPA partially reversed antinociception, while ODQ completely reversed, and zaprinast enhanced tramadol's antinociception effect. Notably, glibenclamide blocked tramadol's antinociception in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that tramadol's peripheral antinociception effect is likely mediated by the nitrergic pathway and sensitive ATP potassium channels, rather than the opioid and cannabinoid pathways.</p>","PeriodicalId":9520,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of physiology and pharmacology","volume":" ","pages":"218-227"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136396524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the mechanism by which MMP9, a secretory protein, influences the extracellular antioxidant superoxide dismutase-3 (SOD3) is not yet clear. To explore MMP9's regulatory impact on SOD3, we employed human embryonic kidney-293 cells, transfecting them with MMP9 overexpresssion and catalytic-site mutant plasmids. Additionally, MMP9 overexpressing cells were treated with an MMP9 activator and inhibitor. Analyses of both cell lysates and culture medium provided insights into MMP9's intracellular and extracellular regulatory roles. In-silico analysis and experimental approaches like proximal ligation assay and co-immunoprecipitation were utilized to delineate the protein-protein interactions between MMP9 and SOD3. Our findings indicate that activated MMP9 enhances SOD3 levels, a regulation not hindered by MMP9 inhibitors. Intriguingly, catalytically inactive MMP9 appeared to reduce SOD3 levels, likely due to MMP9's binding with SOD3, leading to their proteolytic degradation. This MMP9 influence on SOD3 was consistent in both intracellular and extracellular environments, suggesting a parallel in MMP9-SOD3 interactions across these domains.
