Objective: Animal models of chronic pain have demonstrated that glial cells are promising target for development of analgesic drugs. However, preclinical studies on glial response under chronic pain conditions vary depending on the cellular markers, the species used, the experimental design and model. Therefore, we investigate the expression profile of GFAP and Iba-1 during the behavioral manifestation of sensory disorder in inflammatory and neuropathic pain models. Methods: the expression profile of fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule-1 (Iba-1) were quantitated in the spinal dorsal horn of Balb/C mice submitted to six models of chronic pain. Protein analysis was performed by western blot and the results colligated with pain-related behavior. Results: Using the same method to quantitate proteins we observed that while GFAP is upregulated after axotomy, partial nerve injury and cutaneous inflammation, its expression is not changed during muscle inflammation, non-inflammatory muscle pain, and in a viral-associated pain. Differently, Iba-1 is downregulated after axotomy but upregulated after partial lesion of peripheral nerve as well as after virus inoculation and during non-inflammatory muscle pain. Cutaneous and muscle inflammation induced no change in Iba-1 expression in the dorsal horn.In spite of a marked time-dependent variation in protein expression, mechanical allodynia was present at any time of all the models investigated. Discussion: Under distinct pain conditions, GFAP and Iba-1 expression is dependent on the origin of the stimulus, disease progression and tissue affected. Moreover, their expression and is not necessarily associated to the behavior manifestation of pain.
