Pulsed Radiofrequency (PRF) Increase Biomarkers Expression in the Lumbar Dorsal Root Ganglion of the Domestic Porcine Mihails Arons1, Māra Pilmane2, Edgars Vasiļevskis1,2, Irina Evansa1, Arturs Paņihins3 1 Riga Stradins University Hospital, Pain Clinic, Riga, Latvia 2 Riga Stradins University, Institute of Anatomy and Anthropology, Riga, Latvia 3 University of Latvia, Faculty of Medicine, Riga, Latvia Introduction. Chronic lumbar radicular pain can be described as neuropathic pain, which typically refers nerve root involvement. PRF has been used for the treatment of chronic lumbar radicular pain for well over a decade and its popularity has increased significantly in recent years. The effectiveness of PRF was demonstrated in various good quality randomized control studies, but mechanisms of action remains unclear. Aim. The aim of our study is to evaluate the expression of biomarkers in gangliocytes of the domestic porcine dorsal root ganglion (DRG) after PRF. Methods. A total 3 domestic porcines were investigated. Under general anaesthesia and X-ray control, DRG PRF was performed. Four lumbar DRGs (L1, L2, L3, L4) were randomly treated. The opposite side DRGs was used as control. One month after the procedure the animal was euthanized. The lumbar region of the spine was placed in 10% formaldehyde for a month. After this fixation DRG samples were prepared for slide analysis. They were embedded in paraffin in order to obtain 3m thick sections, which were then cut by microtome and collected on slide glasses. Using standard immunohistochemical reactions, the materials were tinted to define biomarkers neurofilaments (NF, code-Nr. M 0762, dilution 1:100, mouse, DakoCytomation, DK), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP, code-Nr. M 0761, dilution 1:100, mouse, DakoCytomation, DK), heat shock protein – 70 (Hsp-70, code-Nr. 33-3800, dilution 1:50, mouse, Invitrogen, UK), nestin (Nes, code-Nr. AB 5968, dilution 1:250, rabbit, Abcam, UK), matrix metallopeptidase 2 (MMP 2, code-Nr. DUB 03, dilution 1:100, goat, RD, GE) expression and apoptosis by transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL, code-Nr. 11684817910, dilution 1:10, Roche, DE) analysis. Results. The number of cells with NF (26,0 ± 3,0 vs 16,1 ± 3,3; p<0,05), GFAP (12,0 ± 1,3 vs 3,2 ± 0,9; p<0,05), Hsp-70 (10,0 ± 1,6 vs 4,2 ± 1,0; p<0,05), Nes (16,2 ± 2,0 vs 11,1 ± 2,3; p<0,05), MMP 2 (14,0 ± 1,4 vs 8,1 ± 1,3; p<0,05) expression, were larger in the PRF side comparing with the control side. Additionally, also glial cells in spinal ganglia of both sides demonstrated immunoreactivity. The instances of apoptosis were not significantly different, in statistical terms, between the control and experimental sides (18,0 ± 4,0 vs 20,0 ± 4,0; p=0,35). Conclusions. PRF in spinal gangliocytes of lumbar region increases expression of neural tissue cytoskeleton factors like NF and GFAP suggesting about active regeneration processes into the cells one month after the procedure. Increasing of MMP 2 - containing gangliocytes one month after PRF procedures underline on active neural cell proliferation. PRF in spinal gangliocytes of lumbar region increases Nes factor ekspression and indicate for neural remodeling and regeneration. Spinal gangliocytes one month after PRF treatment notably increases Hsp-70 expression suggesting about activation of cellular activity and inhibitory role reducing of oxidative stress. Similar number of apoptotic cells in spinal ganglia of lumbar region after PRF and control side suggests about inhibitory role of PRF on programmed cell death and stimulation of cell survival.
