Abstract
Introduction
Following surgery, 8-34% of patients worldwide experience chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP), which leads to a decline in the quality of postoperative daily life (1,2). In the clinic, the therapeutic management for CPSP is limited. In persistent postsurgical pain, there is a series of complicated alterations ranging from nociceptive stimulation to the occurrence and development of postsurgical pain (3,4). It is generally considered that peripheral sensitization is the starting point of CPSP (5,6). Therefore, there is a requirement to discover targets against peripheral sensitization leading to CPSP. Caveolae, which constitute specific forms of lipid rafts, are small invaginations of the plasma membrane that exist in numerous mammalian cells (7,8). Previous studies have reported that caveolae function as organizing centers for signaling molecules (9,10). Caveolins have cytoplasmic N and C termini, palmitoylation sites and a scaffolding domain that facilitates interaction and organization of signaling molecules so as to help provide coordinated and efficient signal transduction. Such signaling components include upstream entities (such as G protein-coupled receptors, receptor tyrosine kinases and steroid hormone receptors) and downstream components (such as heterotrimeric and low-molecular weight G proteins, effector enzymes and ion channels) (11). Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) is the principal structural and signaling component of caveolae, which is expressed mainly in inflammatory cells (12,13). Recent studies have revealed that Cav-1 plays an important role in pain modulation. For example, in mouse anterior cingulate cortex neurons, Cav-1 contributes to pain modulation by directly binding with N-methyl D-aspartate receptor subtype 2B, the promotion of which leads to central sensitization (14,15). In diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) rats, Cav-1 in the spinal cord dorsal horn contributes to the development of DNP through the upregulation of toll-like receptor 4 expression in the spinal cord (16). However, the role of Cav-1 in peripheral sensitization is not clear. It is well known that tissue injury results in endothelial hyperpermeability and increased exudation, which can lead to increased levels of local inflammatory agents that cause sensitization and increased excitation of the nociceptors, thereby causing pain (17,18). Previous studies have demonstrated that there is a positive correlation between Cav-1 overexpression and extravascular albumin, which suggests that upregulation of Cav-1 may be associated with endothelial hyperpermeability (19-21).
In the present study, the skin/muscle incision and retraction (SMIR) model (22) was established to observe the expression and localization of Cav-1 in the tissue around the incision and the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and examine the effect of Cav-1-induced acute postsurgical pain on chronic pain.
Materials and methods
Animals
A total of 84 male Sprague-Dawley rats (weight, 200-250 g; age, 8-10 weeks) were provided with food and water ad libitum. The ratio of light to darkness was l2:12 h, with the temperature at 23±1˚C and a humidity of 55-60%. The rats were provided by The Experimental Animal Center of Nantong University, and the study procedures were approved by the Experimental Animal Protection and Care Committee of Nantong University (approval no. 20171015S1051122; Nantong, China).
SMIR model and injection of drugs
The rats were randomly divided into five groups. In the naive group (12 rats in total), no treatment was performed, six rats were sacrificed and sampled 7 days later. In the sham group (12 rats in total), the rats received an incision through the skin and muscle. In the SMIR group (36 rats in total), after anesthetization under isoflurane induction with 3-4% induction and 1-2% maintenance and fixed in the supine position, the rats underwent retraction for 1 h following the skin/muscle incision. A total of 30 rats in the SMIR group were sacrificed and sampled 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days after SMIR modeling with six rats sacrificed at each time point. In the SMIR + Cav-1 small interfering (si)RNA group (12 rats in total), Cav-1 siRNA (Guangzhou RiboBio Co., Ltd.) intrathecal injections were performed at 1, 3 and 7 days after SMIR modeling. For the intrathecal injections, the animals were anesthetized via inhalation of 2% isoflurane. A spinal cord puncture was made using a 30-gauge needle between the L4 and L5 level, and 10 nmol Cav-1 siRNA was diluted into sterile water containing 5% dextrose (40 µl) to be delivered to the cerebral spinal fluid. Immediately after the needle entry into the subarachnoid space, a brisk tail flick could be observed. In the SMIR + Negative control group (12 rats in total), the control siRNA intrathecal injections were performed at 1, 3 and 7 days after SMIR modeling. Intrathecal injections were performed as aforementioned. Cav-1 siRNA and control siRNA were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. The sequence of Cav-1 siRNA was sense, 5'-AACCAGAAGGGACACACAG-3', and antisense, 5'-CUGUGUGUCCCUUCUGGUU-3'. The control siRNA was a non-targeting siRNA, the sequence was sense, 5'-GAGAAGCAGUGAUUACGACG-3', and antisense, 5'-CGUCGUAUCACUGCUUCUC-3'. In the Sham, SMIR + Cav-1 siRNA and SMIR + negative control groups, six rats in each group were sacrificed and sampled 7 days after surgery. SMIR surgery did not cause death or any signs of illness, such as hair loss, diarrhea or weight loss. The rats were sacrificed in a CO2 chamber and the injured tissue around postoperative incision and DRG were collected for subsequent experiments and stored in a -80˚C freezer for further use.
Behavioral testing
The absence of heat hyperalgesia has been previously reported with animal models of incisional pain (23). Therefore, the mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) was detected prior to and at 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days following SMIR surgery in the present study. The rats were habituated to the testing environment for at least 30 min before testing. Mechanical allodynia was assessed using the up-down paradigm with von Frey filaments (IITC Life Science, Inc.) ranging between 1.4-26 g. Shrinking, swinging or paw licking were regarded as positive reactions. Each filament was presented five times within 30 sec to determine the response threshold. If the response was not elicited at least twice, the next ascending von Frey filament was applied until at least two responses were observed.
Immunofluorescence staining
On day 7 after SMIR, the rats were anesthetized with isoflurane (induction with 3-4%; maintenance with 1-2%) and were transcardially perfused with PBS followed by 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS (250 ml; pH 7.0). After perfusion, the injured tissues around the postoperative incision and DRG tissues from the rats in the SMIR group were extracted and post-fixed in the 4% paraformaldehyde at 4˚C overnight, and then placed in 20% and subsequently in 30% sucrose solution at 4˚C overnight. After embedding with OCT, the tissues were consecutively sectioned at a 6-µm thickness and stored at -20˚C. These sections were selected randomly and blocked with 5% serum antibody blocking solution (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) for 2 h at room temperature. The tissue slices were then incubated with antibodies against Cav-1 (1:50; cat. no. sc-53564; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.), CD34 (1:100; cat. no. ab81289; Abcam), CD68 (1:50; cat. no. ab125212; Abcam), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP; 1:800; cat. no. 14959; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) and neurofilament 200 (NF200; 1:2,000; cat. no. N5389; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) at 4˚C overnight, then co-incubated with Cy3-conjugated goat anti-rabbit (1:1,000; cat. no. 111-165-003; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc.), FITC-conjugated goat anti-mouse secondary antibodies (1:1,000; cat. no. 115-095-205; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc.) or FITC-conjugated isolectin B4 (IB4; 1:1,000; cat. no. PR-02; Advanced Targeting Systems, Inc.) in the dark for 2 h at room temperature. Five sections were randomly selected from the injured tissue around the incision and the DRG of each rat. The localizations of Cav-1 in the injured tissue around the incision and the DRG were examined under a fluorescence microscope (Olympus Corporation; magnification, x200) in the dark to capture images, and ImageJ (National Institutes of Health) was used to quantitate fluorescence intensity.
Detection of local tissue vascular permeability
Rats were anesthetized as previously described. Subsequently, 1 ml/kg of 2% Evans blue solution was slowly injected into the left femoral vein. If the skin of the toes and ears turned blue, the injection was successful. After 60 min, the rats' chests were opened, and 100-200 ml of normal saline was perfused from the ascending aorta of the left ventricle, until a clear fluid flowed from auricula dextra. The same portion of the injured tissue around postoperative incision was collected and placed in an Eppendorf tube for use. The 2% Evans blue solution was diluted 100-fold, and a concentration of 20 ng/µl of the liquid was serially diluted into 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.625, 0.313 and 0.156 ng/µl, using formamide as blank, in order to make an Evans blue standard curve. The tissue was placed in a 2% carboxamide bath at a ratio of 100 mg:1 ml, homogenized, incubated at 37˚C for 48 h and then centrifuged at high speed (13,527.8 x g) at 4˚C for 15 min, the supernatant of which was carefully aspirated and divided into three sample tubes (50 µl/tube). The absorbance was measured at 620 nm using a microplate reader (BioTek Instruments, Inc.). According to the standard curve, the Evans blue content of the sample was calculated, and the mean value was recorded to detect the leakage outside the blood vessel. The unit was ng Evans blue/mg tissue.
Western blotting
The rats were anesthetized and sacrificed as previously described, and the injured tissue around the incision and the DRG was homogenized in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS; cat. no. 71736; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) sample buffer containing a mixture of protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA), and measured with a BCA protein assay kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology). For separation, 30 µg total protein per gel lane was loaded onto 10% gels (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology). The separated proteins were then transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes. The membranes were incubated for 2 h at room temperature in TBS + 0.1% Tween-20 (TBST) blocking solution containing 5% skimmed milk, followed by overnight incubation at 4˚C in blocking solution containing primary antibodies against Cav-1 (1:50; cat. no. sc-53564; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) and GAPDH (1:5,000; cat. no. SAB2108668; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA). Membranes were washed three times with TBST (10 min/wash) and incubated with goat anti-mouse (cat. no. 115-035-003) and anti-rabbit (cat. no. 111-005-003) HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (both 1:2,000; both from Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc.) at room temperature for 2 h. Following washing with TBST, immunolabeling was detected using the Tanon 2500 gel imaging system (Tanon Science and Technology Co., Ltd.) and hypersensitive ECL chemiluminescence detection kit (Absin Bioscience, Inc.). ImageJ software (v1.8.0; National Institutes of Health) was used to capture images and analyze the intensity of the bands.
Reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-q)PCR
Cav-1 mRNA expression levels in the injured tissue around postoperative incision and the DRG were determined via RT-qPCR. Total RNA was extracted from tissue using TRIzol® reagent (cat. no. 15596-026; Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) according to the manufacturer's instructions. cDNA was synthesized using a RevertAid RT Reverse Transcription kit (cat. no. K1691; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) according to the manufacturer's instructions. RT-PCR was performed on cDNA using LightCycler 96 Real-Time PCR System with UltraSYBR® Mixture (with ROX) (CoWin Biosciences). Each sample was configured to a 25 µl reaction volume, and GAPDH was used as reference gene. Primer sequences were as follows: Cav-1 Forward, 5'-ACCTCAACGATGACGTGGTCAAGA-3', and reverse, 5'-TGGAATAGACACGGCTGATGCACT-3'; GAPDH forward, 5'-GAAGATGGTGATGGGATTTC-3', and reverse, 5'-GAAGGTGAAGGTCGGAGTC-3'. Reaction conditions were as follows: Pre-denaturation at 95˚C for 10 min, followed by 45 cycles of denaturation at 95˚C for 30 sec, annealing at 52˚C for 40 sec and extension at 72˚C for 40 sec. To ensure primer specificity, a melting curve was set after the 45 amplification cycles (95˚C for 5 sec, 65˚C for 60 sec and 97˚C for 1 sec). Results were presented as the level of mRNA relative to endogenous and calculated using the 2-ΔΔCq method (24).
ELISA
Concentrations of IL-6 (PicoKine ELISA kit; cat. no. EK0411) and TNF-α (PicoKine ELISA kit; cat. no. EK0527) were measured using respective specific ELISA kits in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions (all supplied from Boster Biological Technology).
Data and statistical analyses
Experimental data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 software (IBM Corp.). Measured data were expressed as the mean ± SEM, and behavioral data were analyzed by a mixed two-way ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni test for multiple comparison analysis. One-way ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni test was used for comparison between the groups except for the behavioral data. P<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference.
Results
SMIR induces persistent mechanical allodynia and continuous increase of vascular endothelial permeability around the incision
To study the mechanism of postoperative chronic pain, a SMIR model was established. Significant levels of mechanical allodynia appeared on day 1 in SMIR rats and persisted until day 14 after SMIR. MWT in SMIR rats returned to similar levels as in the sham and naive rats by postsurgical day 28 (Fig. 1A).
The tissues around the incision were collected on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th and 28th day after SMIR to detect vascular endothelial permeability using Evans blue staining. It was revealed that surgical wounds significantly induced maintenance of endothelial hyperpermeability in the SMIR group from day 1 after surgery, while compared with the naïve group there was no significant change in the vascular endothelial permeability of the sham group (Figs. 1B and S1; Table SI).
Effects of CPSP on the expression of Cav-1 in the injured tissue around postoperative incision and the DRG
To explore the role of Cav-1 in CPSP and its possible mechanism, changes in the expression of Cav-1 in the injured tissue around postoperative incision and the DRG were examined on postsurgical days 3, 7 and 14 in the SMIR and sham groups. Western blotting demonstrated that compared with the naive and sham groups, the expression of Cav-1 was significantly increased on day 7 and 14 following SMIR in the injured tissue around postoperative incision, while there was no significant change on postsurgical day 3 (Fig. 2A). The expression of Cav-1 was significantly increased on postsurgical day 3 and 7 in the DRG, while there was no significant change on postsurgical day 14 (Fig. 2B). In addition, compared with the naïve group, there was no significant change in the expression of Cav-1 in the injured tissue around postoperative incision and the DRG in the sham group (Fig. 2A and B).
Immunofluorescence staining demonstrates localization of Cav-1 in the injured tissue around postoperative incision
To study the localization of Cav-1, the tissue sections around the postoperative incision of rats in the SMIR group at postsurgical day 7 were stained with the macrophage marker CD68 and the endothelial cell marker CD34. Immunofluorescence staining indicated that Cav-1 was expressed by macrophages and endothelial cells in the injured tissue around postoperative incision (Fig. 3).
Immunofluorescence staining demonstrates localization of Cav-1 in the DRG
At postsurgical day 7, DRG tissue sections were stained with Cav-1, the medium and large neuronal marker NF200 or the medium and small neuronal markers CGRP and IB4. The results revealed that Cav-1 was mainly distributed in the NF200-positive medium and large neurons, and a small part of it was distributed in CGRP- or IB4-positive small and medium-sized neurons in the DRG (Fig. 4)
Intrathecal injection of Cav-1 siRNA attenuates mechanical allodynia and decreases Cav-1 mRNA and protein expression in the injured tissue around postoperative incision and the DRG
To further investigate the role of Cav-1 in CPSP, Cav-1 siRNA was used to silence Cav-1 gene expression at 1, 3 and 7 days following SMIR. Compared with the SMIR + Negative control group, intrathecal injection of Cav-1 siRNA significantly increased MWT on postsurgical days 1, 3, 7 and 14 (Fig. 5A). As presented in Fig. 5B and C, the expression of Cav-1 in the Cav-1 siRNA group significantly decreased in the injured tissue around postoperative incision and the DRG, as compared with the SMIR + Negative control group. RT-qPCR was performed to examine the mRNA levels of Cav-1 in the injured tissue around the postoperative incision and the DRG after intrathecal injection of Cav-1 siRNA. As presented in Fig. 5D, Cav-1 siRNA significantly decreased the expression levels of Cav-1 mRNA in the injured tissue around the incision and the DRG compared with the negative control on postsurgical day 7, reversing the increase in the expression levels of Cav-1 associated with SMIR.
Effects of CPSP on the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α protein levels in the injured tissue around postoperative incision and the DRG
The IL-6 and TNF-α protein levels were detected in the injured tissue around postoperative incision and the DRG following SMIR surgery. ELISA assays demonstrated that IL-6 and TNF-α expression levels were significantly increased in the injured tissue around postoperative incision and the DRG on postsurgical days 3, 7 and 14 compared with the naive and sham groups (Fig. 6A and B).
Discussion
Peripheral sensitization serves an important role in the occurrence and maintenance of CPSP (25,26). The purpose of the present study was to explore the role of Cav-1 in peripheral sensitization, starting with the alterations of the peripheral incision tissue. The caveolae are a special form of lipid raft, which is a small invagination of the plasma membrane that is present in a number of mammalian cells, such as endothelial cells, adipocytes and skeletal muscle (27,28). Previous studies have reported that caveolae are the cellular center of signaling molecules (9,10,29). The formation and stability of the caveolae mainly depends on caveolin (30). Cav-1 is the main structural and signaling component of the fossa, which is mainly expressed in inflammatory cells (31-33). Recent studies have demonstrated that Cav-1 serves a notable role in pain modulation (14,15), but its specific mechanism of action requires further investigation. Our previous study has demonstrated that SMIR increased the infiltration of macrophages and endothelial cells in the injured tissue around the postoperative incision (6), suggesting that the inflammatory response in the tissue around the incision was aggravated, which led to the occurrence of CPSP. In the current study, the results indicated that SMIR increased the permeability of vascular endothelial cells in the muscle tissue around the incision at an early stage (on postoperative day 1). In addition, the expression of Cav-1 increased following SMIR and was localized in macrophages and endothelial cells, suggesting that Cav-1 may be involved in the inflammatory response of the tissue around the incision.
Endothelial cells regulate leukocyte activity, inflammation and platelet aggregation by secreting various active substances, while endothelial hyperpermeability induces inflammatory response in local tissues (34). Due to the minor trauma in the sham operation group, the vascular permeability of the local tissues did not significantly change, therefore there was less local inflammatory exudation accompanied by Cav-1 expression in the local tissues and the DRG. The results of the present study indicated that Cav-1 was upregulated after the initiation of the inflammatory response in the injured tissue around the postoperative incision. Moreover, a positive correlation between Cav-1 upregulation and the levels of extravascular albumin has been demonstrated, which suggested that upregulation of Cav-1 may be associated with endothelial hyperpermeability (35,36).
It was hypothesized that SMIR increased the expression level of Cav-1 in the tissue around the incision, which resulted in an increase in the permeability of vascular endothelial cells in the tissue. The increase of vascular endothelial permeability then led to a continuous and significant increase in exudation, which aggravated the inflammatory response of the tissue around the incision. This promoted the transmission of pain information to the higher center and, therefore, resulted in CPSP. The pain signals are transmitted along the DRGs to the spinal cord and then to the corresponding zone of the brain, including the thalamus, forebrain, brainstem and midbrain, and finally to the cerebral cortex (37-39). Therefore, as the soma assembly of the first-order neurons for the pain pathway, the excitability of DRGs is important in pain signaling (37-39).
As reported in the literature, early nociceptive stimuli may induce vigorous production of cytokines, such as IL-6 and TNF-α, in the DRG, and the cytokines may be transported to central terminals of primary afferents (40,41). Furthermore, the cytokines further activate glial cells and neurons to release more activating substances, such as ATP, pro-inflammatory factors and reactive oxygen species (42). These activating substances further enhance pain and may transform acute pain into chronic pain (43). In the present study, the expression levels of the inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α not only increased in the DRG, but also in the tissues surrounding incision after noxious injury, which provided evidence towards the aforementioned hypothesis. In addition, the results of the present study demonstrated that the increase of Cav-1 in the DRG occurred in the SMIR group on the 3rd day after operation, while the increase of Cav-1 in the peripheral tissue was relatively delayed until postoperative day 7; therefore, the early nociceptive stimuli may stimulate the alteration of Cav-1 expression levels in the DRG first.
A previous study has revealed that Cav-1 is present at excitatory synapses and concentrates at the postsynaptic density during the later stage development of presynaptic components (44), suggesting that Cav-1 may play a notable role in synapse formation and plasticity. The results of the present study indicated that Cav-1 was mainly distributed in NF200-positive large and medium neurons in the DRG. In addition, the increased expression of Cav-1 in the DRG after SMIR was associated with a decreased MWT of rats with SMIR. Previous studies have demonstrated that large-sized neurons in the DRG are connected with A-β fibers, which transmit the mechanical stimuli (45,46). Central fibers of large-sized neurons in the DRG mainly project to the deep layers of the spinal cord, which is involved in mechanical allodynia (47,48). Therefore, it is possible that in the models of the present study, high expression of Cav-1 in large-sized neurons of the DRG after SMIR sensitized the neurons and changed the transmission mode of noxious stimuli, resulting in mechanical pain hypersensitivity.
To further confirm whether the increase of Cav-1 was involved in pain modulation in rats with CPSP, Cav-1 siRNA was used to silence Cav-1 gene expression. The results indicated that the intrathecal delivery of Cav-1 siRNA decreased the expression levels of Cav-1 mRNA and protein in the tissue around the incision and in the DRG. Furthermore, it significantly prevented the development of hyperalgesia in rats. These results further indicated the association between Cav-1 and CPSP.
The present study is limited in that, except for using Evans blue staining, the expression profiles of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 or vascular cell adhesion protein 1 were not detected to provide evidence of alteration in the vascular permeability.
In summary, peripheral noxious stimuli or injury stimulated Cav-1 expression in the tissue around the incision and in the DRG. The high expression of Cav-1 in the tissue around the incision was accompanied by high permeability of endothelial cells, which modeled the local chronic, inflammatory and nutrient rich microenvironment at the beginning of nociceptive information transmission, thus transmitting the abnormal pain signal to neurons of the DRG. The high expression levels of Cav-1 sensitized large neurons in the DRG and changed the transmission mode of harmful stimuli, which resulted in mechanical pain hypersensitivity. Cav-1 may represent the key link and initial event of peripheral sensitization of CPSP. Targeted Cav-1 intervention may be a potential therapeutic strategy to inhibit peripheral sensitization and provide novel ideas for the treatment of CPSP.
