Abstract
  • The aim of our study was to investigate the role of cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8), which is able to induce the synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF), in the joint inflammation of carrageenan-injected rats. METHODS: Adult rats were injected in the ankle joint with carrageenan, with or without CCK-8 or a CCK receptor antagonist (proglumide), and tissue swelling, NGF levels and NGF mRNA expression were assessed. RESULTS: Expression of NGF and NGF mRNA increased transiently after carrageenan injection. This effect was not altered by CCK-8 injection but was inhibited by the CCK receptor antagonist. The decrease in NGF level after treatment with the antagonist was concurrent with an increase in paw swelling. CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrate that, whereas CCK-8 has no anti-inflammatory action in carrageenan-injected animals, proglumide induces a worsening of inflammation and reduces the expression of both NGF and NGF mRNA in inflamed ankle joints. Our data point to a regulatory action of CCK-8 on NGF synthesis during acute synovitis and suggest a role for NGF in the healing phase of inflammation. (literal)
