Objective p2x3 receptors in stellate ganglia(SG)and cervical dorsal root ganglia(DRG)neurons are involved in sympathoexcitatory reflex induced by myocardial ischemic ***,a major active ingredient extracted from the traditional Chinese plant medicine Ge-gen,has been widely used in treatment of myocardial and cerebral *** present study is aimed to observe the effects of puerarin on the signaling transmission mediated by p2x3 receptor in SG and DRG after myocardial ischemic *** Systolic blood pressure,heart rate were measured by the indirect tail-cuff plethysmography(non-invasive blood pressure determinator)with different *** expression levels of p2x3 m RNA and protein in SG and DRG were tested by RT-pCR and Western *** electrophysiological recording was carried out by using a patch/whole cell clamp *** Our results showed that systolic blood pressure and heart rate increased,and the expression levels of p2x3m RNA and protein in SG and DRG were up-regulated after myocardial ischemic *** reduced systolic blood pressure and heart rate,relieved pain and decreased up-regulated expression of p2x3 m RNA and protein in SG and DRG after myocardial *** inhibited the up-regulated ATp-activated currents in DRG neurons after myocardial *** also significantly inhibited ATp-activated currents in HEK293 cells transfected with p2x3 *** puerarin can relieve myocardial ischemic damage through blocking the p2x3 signaling transmission and then depressed the aggravated sympathoexcitatory reflex.

Objective: To investigate the analgesic effects of electroacupuncture (EA) at 2 and 100 Hz on type 2 diabetic neuropathic pain (DNp) and on the expressions of the p2x3 receptor and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRp) in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG). Methods: Rat type 2 DNp was induced by a high calorie and high sugar diet fed for 7 weeks, plus a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) after 5 weeks. EA at 2 and 100 Hz was carried out once every day after 7 weeks for 7 consecutive days. Body weight, serum fasting insulin (FINS), fasting blood glucose (FBG), insulin sensitivity index (ISI), and paw withdrawal latency (pWL) were measured. The expressions of L4-L6 DRG p2x3 receptors and CGRp were assessed by immunofluorescence. Results: Type 2 DNp was successfully induced as shown by the increased body weight, FINS, and FBG, as well as the reduced ISI and pWL. Expressions of p2x3 receptors and CGRp in L4-L6 DRGs increased. EA at both 2 and 100 Hz relieved type 2 DNp, but the analgesic effect of EA was stronger at 2 Hz. p2x3 receptor expression decreased in L4-L6 DRGs following EA at 2 Hz and in L5 and L6 DRGs following EA at 100 Hz. EA at both 2 and 100 Hz down-regulated CGRp overexpression in L4-L6 DRGs. Conclusions: These findings indicate that EA at 2 Hz is a good option for the management of type 2 DNp. The EA effect may be related to its down-regulation of the overexpressions of the DRG p2x3 receptors and CGRp in this condition.
