이상의 실험 결과들을 요약하면, 포르말린을 측두하악관절 내로 주입하여 발생한 염증성 통증 행위반응은 QX-314의 투여로 감소할 수 있었다. 저농도의 QX-314의 진통작용은 TRPV1 통로를 이용하여 세포막 내로 이동하여 작용이 나타났으며 고농도의 QX-314는 TRPV1 통로와 무관하게 진통작용을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 결과는 측두하악관절 장애로 인해 발생되는 염증성 통증에 QX-314가 효과적인 치료제로 사용할 수 있다는 것을 말해주며, 특히 고농도의 QX-314가 세포막을 이동하는 경로에 대한 연구가 더 진행된다면 임상에서 QX-314가 진통제로서 사용할 수 있는 계기가 될 것으로 판단된다.
The present study investigated the effects of QX-314 on inflammatory pain of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Experiments were carried out on male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 220-280 g. Under anesthesia, the TMJ of each animal was injected with 50 μL of formalin (5%). The number of noxious behavioral responses, including rubbing or scratching of the facial region including the TMJ area, was recorded over 9 sequential 5 min intervals for each animal. Although 2.5% QX-314 did not affect formalin-induced nociceptive behavior, administration of 5% QX-314 with formalin significantly decreased the number of scratches produced by the formalin injection. Co-administration of capsaicin, a TRPV1 agonist, with 2.5% QX-314 produced significant anti-nociceptive effects whereas 2.5% QX-314 alone did not. However, the co-administration of capsaicin did not enhance the anti-nociceptive effects in the 5% QX-314-treated rats. Moreover, the co-administration of capsazepine, a TRPV1 antagonist, did not attenuate anti-nociceptive effects in the 5% QX-314-treated rats. These findings suggest that TRPV1 is effective in the transport of low but not high doses of QX-314. Moreover, a high dose of QX-314, which is not mediated by peripheral TRPV1 activity, may be viable therapeutic strategy for inflammatory pain in the TMJ.
