Abstract
Pain constitutes the major non motor syndrome in Parkinson's disease (PD) and includes neuropathic pain; however current drug therapies used to alleviate it have only limited efficacy. This is probably due to poor understanding of the mechanisms underlying it.
We investigated a major class of trigeminal neuropathic pain, dynamic mechanical allodynia (DMA), in a rat model of PD and in which a bilateral 6-hydroxy dopamine (6-OHDA) injection was administered to produce a lesion of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway.
Lesioned animals presented significant DMA in the orofacial area that occurred from 4 days to 5 weeks post-injury. To investigate a segmental implication in the neuropathic pain induced by dopamine depletion, the expression of the isoform gamma of the protein kinase C (PKCg) and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (pERK1/2) was explored in the medullary dorsal horn (MDH). There was a high increase in PKCg expression in the III and IIi laminae of the MDH of lesioned-animals compared to shams. pERK1/2 expression was also significantly high in the ipsilateral MDH of lesioned rats in response to non-noxious tactile stimulus of the orofacial region. Since pERK1/2 is expressed only in response to nociceptive stimuli in the dorsal spinal horn, the current study demonstrates that non-noxious stimuli evoke allodynic response. Intraperitoneal and intracisternal administrations of bromocriptine, a dopamine 2 receptor (D2R) agonist, significantly decreased DMA compared to control rats injected with saline. These data demonstrate for the first time that nigrostriatal dopaminergic depletion produces trigeminal neuropathic pain that at least involves a segmental mechanism. In addition, bromocriptine was shown to have a remarkable analgesic effect on this neuropathic pain symptom.

<abstract><sec><title>Background</title>
<p>Pain constitutes the major non motor syndrome in Parkinson's disease (PD) and includes neuropathic pain; however current drug therapies used to alleviate it have only limited efficacy. This is probably due to poor understanding of the mechanisms underlying it.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Aims</title>
<p>We investigated a major class of trigeminal neuropathic pain, dynamic mechanical allodynia (DMA), in a rat model of PD and in which a bilateral 6-hydroxy dopamine (6-OHDA) injection was administered to produce a lesion of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Results and discussion</title>
<p>Lesioned animals presented significant DMA in the orofacial area that occurred from 4 days to 5 weeks post-injury. To investigate a segmental implication in the neuropathic pain induced by dopamine depletion, the expression of the isoform gamma of the protein kinase C (PKCg) and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (pERK1/2) was explored in the medullary dorsal horn (MDH). There was a high increase in PKCg expression in the III and IIi laminae of the MDH of lesioned-animals compared to shams. pERK1/2 expression was also significantly high in the ipsilateral MDH of lesioned rats in response to non-noxious tactile stimulus of the orofacial region. Since pERK1/2 is expressed only in response to nociceptive stimuli in the dorsal spinal horn, the current study demonstrates that non-noxious stimuli evoke allodynic response. Intraperitoneal and intracisternal administrations of bromocriptine, a dopamine 2 receptor (D2R) agonist, significantly decreased DMA compared to control rats injected with saline. These data demonstrate for the first time that nigrostriatal dopaminergic depletion produces trigeminal neuropathic pain that at least involves a segmental mechanism. In addition, bromocriptine was shown to have a remarkable analgesic effect on this neuropathic pain symptom.</p>

<body><sec><title>Introduction</title>
<p>Dopamine (DA) dysfunction is implicated in the modulation of pain perception and analgesia (Chudler and Dong <xref rid="b11" ref-type="bibr">1995</xref>
; Wasner and Deuschl <xref rid="b55" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
) and DA depletion plays a central role in this modulation. Indeed, hyposensitivity to pain is common in patients with schizophrenia, which is linked to excessive DA neurotransmission. Conversely, hypersensitivity to pain is frequent in disorders linked to DA dysregulation such as mood and affect disorders, burning mouth, and Parkinson's disease (PD). In PD, DA depletion in target areas provokes progressive motor disabilities, and cognitive and vegetative disturbances (Lin et al. <xref rid="b25" ref-type="bibr">1981</xref>
; Clifford et al. <xref rid="b13" ref-type="bibr">1998</xref>
; Fischer et al. <xref rid="b16" ref-type="bibr">2005</xref>
). PD is also characterized by nonmotor manifestations (NMM), which may precede or occur during the onset of motor disturbances (Pertovaara et al. <xref rid="b42" ref-type="bibr">2004</xref>
). One of the NMM in PD is pain (Cobacho et al. <xref rid="b14" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
; Goetz <xref rid="b18" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>
; Ha and Jankovic <xref rid="b19" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
) and epidemiological studies have estimated its prevalence in PD to be 30–83% (Barceló et al. <xref rid="b4" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
; Wasner and Deuschl <xref rid="b55" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
). Preclinical studies using different paradigms have implicated basal ganglia in pain processes (Chudler and Dong <xref rid="b11" ref-type="bibr">1995</xref>
; Wood <xref rid="b56" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>
; Chudler and Lu <xref rid="b12" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>
; Borsook <xref rid="b5" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
). For example, DA depletion in the striatum leads to an increase in neuropathic pain (Saadé et al. <xref rid="b46" ref-type="bibr">1997</xref>
). Conversely, an enhancement of DA release by amphetamine infusion into the nucleus accumbens facilitates the inhibition of tonic pain (Altier and Stewart <xref rid="b1" ref-type="bibr">1999</xref>
).</p>
<p>Neuropathic pain is clinically characterized by spontaneous pain and evoked pain. It can result from the primary dysfunction of the peripheral nociceptive and nonnociceptive nerves of the central nervous system (Rizvi et al. <xref rid="b45" ref-type="bibr">1991</xref>
). Unfortunately, the treatment of neuropathic pain is often unsatisfactory, mostly due to the limited efficacy of currently available drug therapies. Touch-evoked pain is a hallmark of allodynia, and is generally considered to result from the activation of large myelinated A-fibers, which normally convey nonnoxious mechanical stimulation (Campbell et al. <xref rid="b7" ref-type="bibr">1988</xref>
; Ochoa and Yarnitsky <xref rid="b37" ref-type="bibr">1993</xref>
; Koltzenburg et al. <xref rid="b23" ref-type="bibr">1994</xref>
; Sandkühler <xref rid="b47" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>
). After nerve injury, tactile stimulation is able to evoke dynamic mechanical allodynia (DMA), which can be elicited by light moving stimuli (i.e., stroking or light brushing) of the skin (Woolf and Mannion <xref rid="b57" ref-type="bibr">1999</xref>
; Alvarez et al. <xref rid="b2" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>
; Miraucourt et al. <xref rid="b34" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>
). Air puffs or jets have been shown to activate preferentially low-threshold A<italic>β</italic>
-fibers, constituting a useful tool for investigating DMA (Sandkühler <xref rid="b47" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>
).</p>
<p>The spinal cord is an important gateway through which peripheral pain signals are transmitted to the brain. Spinal sensitization is one of the main mechanisms underlying neuropathic pain (Woolf and Mannion <xref rid="b57" ref-type="bibr">1999</xref>
). Two markers were used, namely protein kinase C (PKC<italic>γ</italic>
) a stress sensor protein, and phosphorylated forms of ERK1/2, to demonstrate medullary dorsal horn (MDH) (equivalent of spinal dorsal horn) sensitization at both cellular and molecular levels. Within the superficial dorsal horn, PKC<italic>γ</italic>
is restricted to a subpopulation of interneurons in the inner part of lamina II (IIi) (Malmberg et al. <xref rid="b27" ref-type="bibr">1997</xref>
; Polgár et al. <xref rid="b43" ref-type="bibr">1999</xref>
). Its activation is involved in hyperexcitability, persistent pain states, and the transition from short to long-term hyperexcitability (Malmberg et al. <xref rid="b27" ref-type="bibr">1997</xref>
; Martin et al. <xref rid="b28" ref-type="bibr">1999</xref>
; Miletic et al. <xref rid="b32" ref-type="bibr">2000</xref>
; Ohsawa et al. <xref rid="b38" ref-type="bibr">2001</xref>
; Wang et al. <xref rid="b54" ref-type="bibr">2005</xref>
; Nakajima et al. <xref rid="b36" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>
).</p>
<p>ERK1/2 phosphorylation constitutes a selective cell marker which occurs in response to noxious stimulus (Ji et al. <xref rid="b21" ref-type="bibr">1999</xref>
) and not to nonnoxious stimulus such as light touch.</p>
<p>This study first aimed at determining whether nigrostriatal dopamine depletion could induce trigeminal DMA in the rat. We used an animal model for PD (Paillé et al. <xref rid="b41" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>
; Zengin-Toktas et al. <xref rid="b58" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
). In this model, lesions within the substantia nigra compacta (SNc) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) were obtained by injecting the 6-OHDA into the medial forebrain bundle. Second, we asked whether a local segmental mechanism is implicated in this type of allodynia. Finally, we investigated whether the action of bromocriptine, a dopamine 2 receptor (D2R) agonist drug, has analgesic effects in this animal model of PD.</p>

<sec><title>Ethical statement</title>
<p>The experiments conformed to the ethical guidelines of the International Association for the Study of Pain, the European Community Council directive of 24 November 1986 (86/609/EEC) and the Animal Ethics Committee of the University of Auvergne (CE08-11). All surgery was performed under anesthesia, and every effort was made to minimize animal suffering and number. The rats were kept in specified pathogen-free conditions, and all the procedures performed were approved by the Auvergne University ethics committee.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Surgery</title>
<p>Eighty-two adult male Sprague–Dawley rats (275–325 g) from Charles River (L'Arbresle, France) were obtained and maintained in a controlled environment (lights on 07:00–19:00, 22°C) with ad libitum access to food and water. They were housed three to four per cage.</p>
<p>The experiment was performed as described previously (Paillé et al. <xref rid="b41" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>
; Zengin-Toktas et al. <xref rid="b58" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
). Anesthesia was given with ketamine 60 mg/kg, i.p. and Rompun® (Bayer, France) (xylazine, 10 mg/kg, i.p.). The animals were placed in a stereotaxic frame (David Kopf Instrument, Tujunga, CA). Eighty-two rats were injected bilaterally in the substantia nigra compacta (SNc) with 6-OHDA (6-hydroxy dopamine, 0.5 <italic>μ</italic>
L/min) after dissolution in a vehicle solution (0.02% ascorbate saline) at a concentration of 3 <italic>μ</italic>
g/<italic>μ</italic>
L (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint-Quentin, France) in two deposits (2.25 and 2.85 <italic>μ</italic>
g, respectively) at the following coordinates (in mm relative to bregma and the surface of the dura mater): posterior (P) −4.0; lateral (L) ± 0.8; ventral (V) −8.0; tooth bar at +3.4 and A −4.4; L ± 1.2; V −7.8; tooth bar at −2.4. In order to preserve adrenergic neurons from 6-OHDA toxicity, the animals received desipramine (25 mg/kg, i.p., Sigma-Aldrich) 30 min prior to the toxin injection; sham-lesioned rats received only the vehicle at the same coordinates.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Drugs</title>
<p>The following drugs were used: bromocriptine (Sigma-Aldrich) dissolved in 0.9% saline, and sulpiride (Sigma-Aldrich) dissolved in 2.5% HCL, 7.5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), 90% saline (0.9%). Fresh solutions were prepared just prior to use. In line with our previous study (Zengin-Toktas et al. <xref rid="b58" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
), a concentration of bromocriptine at 1 mg/kg was selected for i.p. injection and at 7 <italic>μ</italic>
g/kg for intracisternal injection. Sulpiride was used at 50 mg/kg (Melo et al. <xref rid="b29" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
).</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Drugs administration</title>
<p>The analgesic effects of bromocriptine, a drug used as PD therapy (Calne et al. <xref rid="b6" ref-type="bibr">1974</xref>
), were studied by injecting the drug both intracisternally (Fischer et al. <xref rid="b16" ref-type="bibr">2005</xref>
) and intraperitoneally. Bromocriptine is known to cross the blood brain barrier (Vautier et al. <xref rid="b52" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>
). The animals were briefly (<3 min) anesthetized with 2% halothane using a mask and received intracisternal administration of bromocriptine (7 <italic>μ</italic>

<sec><title>Behavioral testing</title>
<p>The rats were adapted to the observation field and red light for 30 min each day for 9 days prior to the beginning of behavioral testing. During this period, the experimenter reached into the cage to apply gentle air puffing on the animals' faces (see below). For each behavioral test, the rats were placed in the observation field (24 × 35 × 18 cm) under red light for a 30-min period. Gentle air puffing (five air puffs, with a 5-sec time lag between each air puff) was applied by an experimenter (Dieb and Hafidi <xref rid="b15" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
) every 3 min and repeated 10 times, alternatively on either side of the vibrissal pad, using a calibrated pump. Stimulation was carried out when the rat was in a sniffing/no locomotion state: with four paws placed on the ground, neither moving nor freezing (Alvarez et al. <xref rid="b2" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>
). The distance to the target from which the stimulus was applied varied from 2 to 5 cm. The tip of the pump was moved toward the target from behind the animal so that it could not see it. Each series of stimulations consisted of five air puffs applied every 10 sec.</p>
<p>The behavioral responses were observed and quantified according to the analysis method proposed by Vos et al. (<xref rid="b53" ref-type="bibr">1994</xref>
). Nociceptive responses to gentle air puffing consisted of one or more of the following elements: (Altier and Stewart <xref rid="b1" ref-type="bibr">1999</xref>
) detection, the rats turn head toward stimulus; (Alvarez et al. <xref rid="b2" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>
) withdrawal reaction, the rats turn head away or pull it briskly backward when stimulation is applied (a withdrawal reaction is assumed to include a detection element preceding head withdrawal and therefore consists of two response elements); (Ansah et al. <xref rid="b3" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>
) escape/attack, the rats avoid further contact with the stimulus, either passively by moving their body away from the stimulus, or actively by attacking the tip of the pump; (Barceló et al. <xref rid="b4" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
) asymmetric grooming, the rats display an uninterrupted series of at least three wash strokes directed to the stimulated area. The score was assumed to reflect the magnitude of the aversiveness evoked by the mechanical stimulation, being equal to zero in the case of absence of response. A mean score value was then calculated for each stimulation series.</p>

<sec><title>Immunohistochemical analysis</title>
<p>The rats were deeply anesthetized with urethane (1.5 g/kg i.p.). Twenty minutes after the induction of anesthesia, rats were stimulated for 2 min on one infraorbital region by gentle air puffing (60 stimuli delivered, 0.5 Hz). Three minutes after the end of stimulation, the rats were perfused transcardially with warm (37°C) heparinized saline (25 IU heparin/mL) followed by cold (10°C) phosphate-buffered solution (0.1 mol/L, pH 7.6) containing 4% paraformaldehyde and 0.03% picric acid for 15 min. The brainstem was then removed and transferred to the same fixative solution for 1 h and then placed in 30% sucrose and 0.05% sodium azide solution overnight at 4°C. Coronal 40-<italic>μ</italic>
m thick sections of the brainstem were cut on a freezing microtome (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany) and collected in a 0.05 mol/L Tris-buffered saline (TBS).</p>
<p>For immunofluorescence, free-floating brainstem sections were placed in 1% normal goat serum for 1 h before overnight incubation at room temperature in primary antibody solutions (mouse and rabbit antiphosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 [pERK1/2] [1:1000, Cell Signaling Technologies, Danvers, MA], and mouse and rabbit anti-PKC<italic>γ</italic>
[1:4000, Sigma-Aldrich and Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX]). The corresponding secondary antibodies (1:400 for goat anti-mouse Cy3, 1:200 for goat anti-rabbit Cy2) were incubated at room temperature for 3 h. All antibodies were diluted in TBS containing 0.25% bovine serum albumin and 0.3% Triton X-100. The sections were finally rinsed in TBS, mounted on gelatin-coated slides, dehydrated in alcohol, cleared in xylene, and coverslipped with 1,3-diethyl-8-phenylxanthine (DPX) medium. The specificity of the immunostaining was assessed by omitting the primary antibodies, which resulted in the absence of signal.</p>
<p>Immunofluorescent staining was analyzed by using a motorized Zeiss Axioplan 2 microscope equipped with a Hamamatsu C4742-95 digital camera (Hamamatsu Photonics France SARL, Massy, France) (switching between FITC and Texas Red filter sets) driven by MetaMorph® 5.4 software. In each rat, image acquisition and fluorescent signal quantification were done using seven different sections, each taken at a given rostrocaudal plane within the MDH (from 0 to −2160 <italic>μ</italic>
m at 360 <italic>μ</italic>
m intervals). To reduce the variability in staining between sections, the same area of the MDH was taken in consideration for quantification of the fluorescent signal. Measurement of PKC<italic>γ</italic>
fluorescence was taken from the layer IIi as it contained the majority of interneurons positive for this marker. The data are collected from seven sections in each rat. The final data are presented as a mean value of the total number of each rat group. Brainstem sections were categorized according to their approximate rostrocaudal location from the MDH subnucleus interpolaris junction. The pERK1/2-positive cells were counted under a 20× objective according to their location in the different laminae of the MDH from sections costained for PKC<italic>γ</italic>
, a cellular marker that highlights the inner lamina II (Polgár et al. <xref rid="b43" ref-type="bibr">1999</xref>
). The delineation of the MDH was based on the Paxinos and Watson atlas. The data are expressed as the sum of the total number of labeled cells counted from all the sections analyzed in each animal.</p>
<p>Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunolabeling was performed using anti-TH primary antibody (Millipore, Molsheim, France), as described above. Quantification of the impact of the 6-OHDA lesion on the SNc was investigated as described previously (Paillé et al. <xref rid="b41" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>
; Zengin-Toktas et al. <xref rid="b58" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
) using frozen coronal sections (40 <italic>μ</italic>

For each rat, TH-positive cells were counted at different rostrocaudal levels (every 0.12 mm; to −4.64 until −6.2 relative to bregma) using Image J software (ImageJ v1.41, National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD). Split-cell counting errors were corrected using Abercrombie's formula, where <italic>N</italic>

The total number of cells in the SNc was calculated using Konigsmark's formula, where Nt = Ns (St/Ss) (Nt total number of cells; Ns number of cells counted; St total number of sections through the SNc; Ss number of sections in which cells were counted (Paillé et al. <xref rid="b41" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>
). Image analysis was completed using ImageJ software. The point picker plugin available in ImageJ freeware can be used to mark cells with a colored cross by clicking with the mouse. The number of cells counted is displayed in a text box on completion. For each group of animals, the data were the total number of cells in the section expressed as the percentage of the number of cell bodies measured for the shams (mean ± SD).</p>

<sec><title>Locomotor impairment</title>
<p>The rotarod test was performed 2 weeks after surgery. Locomotor impairment was determined on an accelerating rotarod treadmill (TSE systems GmbH, Bad Homburg, Germany). Before testing, the rats were habituated to the instrument at a constant (4 rpm, 5 min) and accelerated speed (40 rpm, 5 min, five times) for three consecutive half days. A testing session was performed on the fourth consecutive day. The rotarod was accelerated progressively from 4 rpm to 40 rpm over 5 min. The time that the rats remained balanced on the device was scored. The rotarod test results for each animal represent the average time (sec) spent on the rod for the last three sequences on the testing session (mean ± SD).</p>

<p>To analyze the impact of 6-OHDA lesions, TH was explored at the level of SNc (Fig. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig01">1</xref>
A, B). A considerable decrease in TH staining was observed in the 6-OHDA-lesioned rats (B) compared to the shams (A). This decrease in staining was observed in both the SNc and VTA. The impact of degeneration was measured by counting the TH-positive cells within the SNc, revealing a significant decrease in TH-positive cells in 6-OHDA-lesioned animals (C). Although not counted, a decrease in TH staining within the VTA was also observed and appeared less severe than in the SNc. The TH immunolabeling obtained here is in agreement with previous studies (Paillé et al. <xref rid="b41" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>

<sec sec-type="discussion"><title>Discussion</title>
<p>This study aimed to explore pain as a prevalent nonmotor symptom in PD. To this end, we explored nociception triggered by mild touch stimuli applied to the orofacial region in a rat model of PD induced by 6-OHDA. This is a pioneer study investigating the appearance of trigeminal allodynic behavior in rats with a bilateral dopaminergic lesion of the nigrostriatal pathway. Allodynic behavior was present 4 days after injury and for up to 5 weeks later (experiment duration). The intracisternal and intraperitoneal administration of bromocriptine (D2R-agonist) decreased allodynic behavior in the lesioned animals. Furthermore, the injection of bromocriptine intracisternally, after that of systemic sulpiride, had no effect on the allodynia observed, revealing the clear implication of D2R receptors locally in allodynic behavior. Hence, the antiallodynic effect of bromocriptine was inhibited by D2-type receptor antagonist sulpiride. This result clearly demonstrated the implication of dopamine in trigeminal pain. To support the implication of a segmental mechanism in the neuropathic pain symptom observed in DA depleted animals, the expressions of PKC<italic>γ</italic>
, which reveal central sensitization (Malmberg et al. <xref rid="b27" ref-type="bibr">1997</xref>
), and those of pERK1/2, which constitute a molecular hallmark of pain sensation (Ji et al. <xref rid="b21" ref-type="bibr">1999</xref>
), were explored in the MDH. In this study, we highlight significant upregulation in the expression of both PKC<italic>γ</italic>
and pERK1/2 in the MDH of 6-OHDA-lesioned rats when compared to shams. Moreover, the number of pERK1/2-positive cells was significantly higher in the ipsilateral MDH of the stimulated orofacial region when compared to the contralateral nonstimulated region. pERK1/2 was also expressed by cells of lamina I which normally convey nociceptive stimuli. Moreover, these markers were present in distinct cell subtypes. The segmental implication of D2R is also highlighted by the administration of bromocriptine which decreased the number of pERK1/2 cells and the expression of PKC<italic>γ</italic>
within the MDH. The present data provided clear evidence of the implication of the dopaminergic nigrostriatal circuitry in the DMA observed in DA-depleted rats and demonstrated for the first time that nonnoxious stimulus can trigger noxious response in rats with a bilateral nigrostriatal pathway lesion. However, we do not exclude the participation of the VTA (mesolimbic and mesocortical pathways; Magnusson and Fisher <xref rid="b26" ref-type="bibr">2000</xref>
; Wood <xref rid="b56" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>

<sec><title>Dopamine and nociception</title>
<p>Rats with a bilateral dopaminergic nigrostriatal lesion demonstrated a significant decrease in TH labeling in the VTA, the striatum, and the SNc. Also noted was a significant decrease in the number of TH-positive cells within the SNc, as reported previously (Paillé et al. <xref rid="b41" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>
; Ouachikh et al. <xref rid="b40" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
; Zengin-Toktas et al. <xref rid="b58" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
). The bilateral dopamine-depleted animals presented a severe body movement alteration (rotarod) when compared to the controls. These rats were able to move (Paillé et al. <xref rid="b41" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>
; Ouachikh et al. <xref rid="b40" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
; Zengin-Toktas et al. <xref rid="b58" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
) and perform all the movements required for the Vos test. Compared to the controls, animals with a dopamine denervated striatum exhibited high sensitivity to nonnoxious stimuli applied to their face. These results are in agreement with a previous study using a unilateral dopamine depletion animal (Chudler and Lu <xref rid="b12" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>
) although the authors reported minor changes in the response to mechanical stimuli. This minor difference between both studies is probably due to the magnitude of the lesion (bilateral vs. unilateral), the nature of the anatomical area lesioned (medial forebrain bundle vs. striatum), and the type of stimuli (static vs. dynamic). This study is also in agreement with previous reports showing that dopamine depletion causes hypersensitivity to mechanical stimulus (Saadé et al. <xref rid="b46" ref-type="bibr">1997</xref>
; Takeda et al. <xref rid="b50" ref-type="bibr">2005</xref>
). The dopaminergic lesion of SNc enhanced the pain process (decreased threshold and/or latency) in experimental pain tests (Campbell et al. <xref rid="b7" ref-type="bibr">1988</xref>
; Morgan and Franklin <xref rid="b35" ref-type="bibr">1990</xref>
; Saadé et al. <xref rid="b46" ref-type="bibr">1997</xref>
; Altier and Stewart <xref rid="b1" ref-type="bibr">1999</xref>
; Takeda et al. <xref rid="b50" ref-type="bibr">2005</xref>
; Ansah et al. <xref rid="b3" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>
; Chudler and Lu <xref rid="b12" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>
; Koszewicz et al. <xref rid="b24" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
). Moreover, pharmacological studies of D2R (agonist/antagonist) in the striatum have reported that it suppresses or enhances the pain process in animal experiments (Magnusson and Fisher <xref rid="b26" ref-type="bibr">2000</xref>
; Ansah et al. <xref rid="b3" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>
; Barceló et al. <xref rid="b4" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
). In addition, systemic use of D2R agonists has proven their antinociceptive action (Michael-Titus et al. <xref rid="b31" ref-type="bibr">1990</xref>
; Morgan and Franklin <xref rid="b35" ref-type="bibr">1990</xref>
; Clifford et al. <xref rid="b13" ref-type="bibr">1998</xref>
). This finding is also supported in this study. These reports clearly demonstrated that D2R has a general antinociceptive effect (Hagelberg et al. <xref rid="b20" ref-type="bibr">2004</xref>
). The mechanism by which DA depletion produces neuropathic pain has yet to be determined. To our knowledge, there is no direct projection from SNc to the MDH, therefore we can only explain the nociceptive effect of DA depletion by indirect action on the intermediary descending pain pathway, like that originating from the periaqueductal gray (PAG). The latter constitutes a central structure in the descending pain modulatory pathway (Millan <xref rid="b33" ref-type="bibr">2002</xref>
). Previous studies have demonstrated different projections from SNc, SN reticula, VTA, and amygdala to the PAG. One main feature of these projections to the PAG is that they are GABAergic (Rizvi et al. <xref rid="b45" ref-type="bibr">1991</xref>
; Cassell et al. <xref rid="b8" ref-type="bibr">1999</xref>
; Gauriau and Bernard <xref rid="b17" ref-type="bibr">2002</xref>
; Chieng and Christie <xref rid="b10" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
). DA depletion in these structures may decrease, in one way or another, GABA transmission at the PAG level, hence increasing descending facilitatory pain influences on the MDH. This is supported by the fact that in the 6-OHDA-lesioned animals, Fos expression increased in the PAG after mechanical stimulation or not of the hind paw (Reyes and Mitrofanis <xref rid="b44" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>
). This reflected an increase in neural excitation within the PAG after dopamine depletion. The facilitatory effect of the pain descending pathway is reflected by the increase in PKC<italic>γ</italic>
expression within the MDH in this study. PKC<italic>γ</italic>
is known to participate in the chronicity of neuropathic pain (Malmberg et al. <xref rid="b27" ref-type="bibr">1997</xref>
; Martin et al. <xref rid="b28" ref-type="bibr">1999</xref>
; Ohsawa et al. <xref rid="b38" ref-type="bibr">2001</xref>
) and PKC<italic>γ</italic>
cells are part of a polysynaptic neuronal circuitry which, under disinhibition conditions, induces allodynic behavior (Torsney and MacDermott <xref rid="b51" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>
; Kato et al. <xref rid="b22" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>
; Miraucourt et al. <xref rid="b34" ref-type="bibr">2009</xref>
; Takazawa and MacDermott <xref rid="b49" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
). This polysynaptic circuit contained at least two distincts pERK1/2- and PKC<italic>γ</italic>
-expressing cells. The PKC<italic>γ</italic>
cells in our condition open the gate, via descending pain facilitation which may induce local disinhibition, thereby allowing tactile nonnoxious stimuli to reach nociceptive processing neurons at the superficial MDH laminae. This is demonstrated here by the expression of pERK1/2, a marker expressed solely by noxious stimuli (Ji et al. <xref rid="b21" ref-type="bibr">1999</xref>
). Moreover, pERK1/2 was expressed in this study in the cells of lamina I, which are known to convey nociceptive stimuli. The allodynic behavior observed in dopamine depleted animals is due, at least, to segmental sensitization, as demonstrated by the high increase in PKC<italic>γ</italic>
expression and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in the MDH, and its decrease after the i.p. administration of bromocriptine. This sensitization could be the consequence of central dysregulation of the descending inhibitory pain control pathway, hence decreasing its tonic inhibitory action in favor of pain facilitation at the level of the MDH in dopamine depleted rats. This is supported by reports demonstrating that activation of striatal D2R facilitates a descending inhibitory pain pathway (Ansah et al. <xref rid="b3" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>
), and that the activation of striatal NMDA receptors (Pertovaara et al. <xref rid="b42" ref-type="bibr">2004</xref>
) provides tonic descending pain facilitatory influences. Indeed, the 6-OHDA depleted rats exhibited an increased concentration of glutamate within the striatum (Meshul et al. <xref rid="b30" ref-type="bibr">1999</xref>
; Chassain et al. <xref rid="b9" ref-type="bibr">2005</xref>
). Another way in which dopamine depletion may induce MDA is by acting through the prefrontal cortex. The latter constitutes a central structure in the medial pain pathway (Millan <xref rid="b33" ref-type="bibr">2002</xref>
). The prefrontal cortex also receives mesocortical dopamine projections which originate from the VTA and a high-frequency stimulation of this structure inhibited nociceptive responses in the rat prefrontal cortex (Sogabe et al. <xref rid="b48" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
). VTA dopamine depletion could have affected our result by acting on the prefrontal cortex, as the SNc is known not to project to cortical areas.</p>

<sec><title>Conclusion</title>
<p>This is the first study demonstrating a trigeminal neuropathic process in rats with a bilateral lesion of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway. It also demonstrated the implication of MDH segmental sensitization in the occurrence of DMA. Moreover, the local administration of D2R agonist at the MDH level systemically decreased allodynic behavior. Part of the analgesic effect of bromocriptine occurred at the MDH level and involved D2-type receptors. However, more studies are needed to clarify the neuronal circuitry by which dopamine depletion in the nigrostriatal pathway leads to trigeminal neuropathic pain.</p>
