Peripheral neuropathy was induced by the administration of vincristine (100 μg/kg, i.p.) for 10 days. On the 28th day, saline or DPCPX (10 μg/10 μl) was intrathecally administered 15 min before intrathecal R-PIA administration (1.0 μg/10 μl or 3.0 μg/10 μl). Mechanical static allodynia was then assessed using the von Frey filament test (gram). Results are expressed as mean ± standard error of mean, n = 6 rats per group. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test.
P < 0.05 vs. normal control group,
P < 0.05 vs. vincristine control group,
P < 0.05 vs. R-PIA 1.0 μg/10 μl group,
P < 0.05 vs. R-PIA 3.0 μg/10 μl group. V: vincristine, S: saline, DPCPX: 1,3-dipropyl-8-cyclopentylxanthine = adenosine A1 receptor antagonist, R-PIA: N6-(2-phenylisopropyl)-adenosine R-(-)isomer = adenosine A1 receptor agonist.
