We examined whether early injury-associated activation of cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB) in the spinal dorsal horn was mediated by the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) pathway. Significant increases in the levels of phosphorylated CREB (pCREB), phosphorylated PKAIIalpha regulatory subunit (pPKA), and PKAalpha catalytic subunit (PKAalpha cat) were elicited 2 h after loose ligation of the sciatic nerve. These injury-elicited increases were significantly reduced by dorsal horn application of the cell-permeable PKA inhibitor Rp-8-Br-cAMPS. The cell-permeable PKA activator Sp-8-Br-cAMPS significantly increased the levels of pCREB, pPKA and PKAalpha cat 2 h after application onto the dorsal horn of control, uninjured animals. Our data lent further support to the notion that activation of PKA may play an important role in the early stages of nerve injury-elicited plasticity in the dorsal horn.

D012584 Sciatic Nerve A nerve which originates in the lumbar and sacral spinal cord (L4 to S3) and supplies motor and sensory innervation to the lower extremity. The sciatic nerve, which is the main continuation of the sacral plexus, is the largest nerve in the body. It has two major branches, the TIBIAL NERVE and the PERONEAL NERVE.
