摘要：

We examined changes in expression of genes coding for alpha(2)-AR subtypes in the dorsal root gan on (DRG) in rat model (spinal nerve ligation) neuropathic pain. The present study demonstrates that the majority of DRG neurons express alpha(2)C-AR mRNA and a small proportion of neurons express alpha(2)A-AR mRNA, while neurons express alpha(2)B-AR mRNA in non-operated animals. In addition, alpha(2)C- and alpha(2)A mRNA levels in the DRG showed a significant decrease and increase, respectively in ligated animals. These findings suggest that alpha(2)A- and alpha(2)C-ARs in the DRG may play an important role in generating sympathetically maintained neuropathic pain.
