The Poly(A) SPOT-ON reduces pain sensitization produced by capsaicin. a The Poly(A) SPOT-ON (10 μg) inhibits the mechanical hypersensitivity produced by intraplantar capsaicin (5 μg) and b blocks the development of hyperalgesic priming. CGRP8–37 (1 μg) has a transient antinociceptive effect at 3 h post capsaicin with no changes after the precipitation of priming with PGE2. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, significantly different from scramble SPOT-ON+capsaicin (CAP) group analyzed by two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test. c The Poly(A) SPOT-ON and CGRP8–37 attenuate the thermal hypersensitivity produced by capsaicin. *P < 0.05, significantly different from Poly(A) SPOT-ON+capsaicin (CAP) group and & P < 0.05, significantly different from baseline (BL) analyzed by two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test. Not significantly different (NS) compared to baseline (BL). d No changes in thermal hypersensitivity are detected after priming revealed by PGE2. e The Poly(A) SPOT-ON and CGRP8–37 block the transient increase in paw temperature produced by intraplantar capsaicin administration. **P < 0.01, significantly different from the non-injected paw or the Poly(A) SPOT-ON injected paw analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test. Not significantly different (NS) compared to non-injected paw. f No changes in paw temperature are present after priming (injected vs. non-injected paw). n = 6 per group. For all graphs shown in the figure, data are plotted as mean ± s.e.m.
