Inhibition of mPFC norepinephrine improved chronic post-thoracotomy pain in adult rats by Fan Zhang, Weicheng Qiu, Wenxiang Qing, Jin Li, Huan Chang, Rili Yu, Yanjun Zhou, Qin Liao

“…The mPFC was collected to assess norepinephrine synthase (dopamine beta-hydroxylase, DβH) and metabolic enzyme (monoamine oxidase A/B, MAO-A/B and catechol-O-methyltransferase, COMT), bradykinin, bradykinin receptor 2 (Bdkrb2), neuroinflammation (Iba1, IL-6 and TNF-α), Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and IL-33.Results Right thoracotomy reduced the mechanical withdrawal threshold and cold pain threshold around incision, the expression of AQP4 and IL-33, increased norepinephrine, DβH, bradykinin, Bdkrb2, Iba1 and IL-6, but had no impact on MAO-A, MAO-B, COMT and TNF-α in contralateral mPFC. …”
