  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Pain is one of the most powerful warning signals for living animals, which are exposed to threatening invasion. Pain sensation is induced by physical stimulation of nociceptors, and also by chemical stimuli, including mediators generated in acute inflammatory sites. Bradykinin (BK) and prostaglandins (PGs) are representatives of the mediators. PGs do not create pain sensation by themselves, but sensitize the nociceptors to reduce the threshold. Stimulation of canine splenic arteries or rat omentum by local application of BK causes generation of PGs, which potentiate pain sensation of BK. In a rat carrageenin-induced pleurisy model, BK and PGs are generated in the pleural cavity to induce plasma exudation. PGE2 is generated by induced cyclooxygenase (COX) -2 in pleural cells. Analgesic and antipyretic drugs as aspirin inhibit pain sensation induced both BK (COX-1) and that by yeast-induced inflammation (COX-2), but COX-2 selective inhibitors inhibit the latter, but not the BK-induced pain sensation. Additionally, difference between itch and pain is discussed.
