Expression of endocannabinoids in animal models of CINP.
CINP model | Expression of endocannabinoids | Reference | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Chemotherapy drug | Animals | CINP symptom | Tissue | Change in endocannabinoid levels relative to control | |
Cisplatin | Male C3H/HeN mice | Mechanical and heat hyperalgesia | Plantar paw skin | Decrease in AEA but no change in 2-AG | [25] |
Cisplatin | Male SD rats | Mechanical and cold allodynia | Lumbar spinal cord | Both 2-AG and AEA increased | [24] |
Dorsal hind paw skin | 2-AG decreased but not AEA | ||||
Cisplatin | Male C3H/HeN mice | Mechanical hyperalgesia | Plantar paw skin | Both 2-AG and AEA decreased | [26] |
DRGs | Both 2-AG and AEA decreased | ||||
Lumbar spinal cord | Both 2-AG and AEA increased | ||||
Midbrain | No effect on both 2-AG and AEA | ||||
Cisplatin | Male C3H/HeJ mice | Mechanical allodynia | Plantar paw skin | Decrease in AEA but no change in 2-AG | [27] |
2-AG, 2-arachidonoylglycerol; AEA, N-arachidonoylethanolamine (anandamide); SD, Sprague-Dawley.
