ABSTRACT
AIM: The role of protein kinase C (PKC) in th e induction and maintenance of spinal long-term potentiation (LTP) was evaluated . METHODS: The C-fiber evoked field potentials were recorded at t he superficial layers of spinal dorsal horn at the lumbar enlargement. RESULTS: (i) Chelerythrine (200 ?mol/L) or G 6983 (100 ? mol/L), a selective PKC inhibitor, completely blocked LTP induction. (ii) Chel eryt hrine or G 6983 reversed spinal LTP in a time-dependent manner. 15 min after L TP induction, chelerythrine (200 ?mol/L) and G 6983 (100 ?mol/L) depre ssed LTP to baseline in all tested rats. The same concentration of chelerythrine and G 6983, applied at 3 h after LTP induction, did not affect LTP. CONCLUSION: PKC in spinal dorsal horn may be crucial for the ind uction and the early-phase maintenance of LTP of C-fiber evoked field potentials .
