Abstract

Objective: In the context of postoperative anal pain, understanding the intricate mechanisms and effective interventions is paramount. This study investigates the role of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors (mAChRs) and the IP3-Ca²⁺-CaM signaling pathway in a rat model of postoperative anal pain, exploring the potential analgesic effects of electroacupuncture.

Methods: Comprehensive approaches involving mechanical sensitivity assays, Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and intracellular calcium concentration measurement were used.

Results: The authors found elevated mAChRs expression in the postoperative pain model. Antagonizing mAChRs reduced pain sensitivity and attenuated the IP3-Ca²⁺-CaM pathway. Remarkably, electroacupuncture treatment further mitigated pain, potentially by suppressing this signaling cascade.

Interpretation: These findings reveal a novel connection between mAChRs and the IP3-Ca²⁺-CaM pathway in postoperative anal pain and suggest electroacupuncture as a promising avenue for pain relief through these mechanisms, offering insights into innovative strategies for postoperative pain management.

电针辰砂穴治疗痔疮切除术后肛门疼痛的机制探讨mAChRs/IP3-Ca2+-CaM信号通路的启示。

目的：对于术后肛门疼痛，了解其复杂的机制和有效的干预措施至关重要。本研究探讨了 Muscarinic 乙酰胆碱受体（mAChRs）和 IP3-Ca2+-CaM 信号通路在大鼠术后肛门疼痛模型中的作用，并探索了电针的潜在镇痛效果：方法：采用机械敏感性测定、Western印迹、免疫组织化学和细胞内钙浓度测量等综合方法：结果：作者发现术后疼痛模型中 mAChRs 表达升高。拮抗 mAChRs 可降低疼痛敏感性并减弱 IP3-Ca2+-CaM 通路。值得注意的是，电针治疗进一步减轻了疼痛，这可能是通过抑制这一信号级联实现的：这些研究结果揭示了术后肛门疼痛中 mAChRs 与 IP3-Ca2+-CaM 通路之间的新联系，并表明电针是通过这些机制缓解疼痛的一种很有前景的途径，从而为术后疼痛管理的创新策略提供了启示。
