Ito N et al. – In the postoperative pain model, minocycline did not suppress mechanical hypersensitivity, but did inhibit an increase in spinal OX42 expression. In contrast, in the neuropathic pain model, minocycline reduced mechanical hypersensitivity in a dose–related manner and inhibited spinal OX42 expression. SB203580 attenuated hypersensitivity in the neuropathic pain model, but not in the postoperative pain model. The results of the present study suggest that spinal OX42 expression has a more important role in the development of neuropathic pain than in postoperative pain, and that an increase in spinal OX42 expression does not contribute to postoperative mechanical hypersensitivity.
