Spinal long-term potentiation (LTP) elicited by noxious stimulation enhances the responsiveness of dorsal horn nociceptive neurons to their normal input, and may represent a key mechanism of central sensitization by which acute pain could turn into a chronic pain state. This study investigated the electrophysiological and behavioral consequences of the interactions between LTP and descending oxytocinergic antinociceptive mechanisms mediated by the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN). PVN Stimulation or intrathecal oxytocin (OT) reduced or prevented the ability of spinal LTP to facilitate selectively nociceptive-evoked responses of spinal wide dynamic range (WDR) neurons recorded in anesthetized rats. In a behavioral model developed to study the effects of spinal LTP on mechanical withdrawal thresholds in freely moving rats, the long-lasting LTP-mediated mechanical hyperalgesia was transiently interrupted or prevented by either PVN Stimulation or intrathecal CT. LTP mediates long-lasting pain hypersensitivity that is Strongly modulated by endogenous hypothalamic oxytocinergic descending controls. (C) 2009 International Association for the Study of Pain.
