Cellular localization of kinin B1 receptor in the spinal cord of streptozotocin-diabetic rats with a fluorescent [Nα-Bodipy]-des-Arg9-bradykinin

Abstract: Background: The kinin B 1 receptor (B 1 R) is upregulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines, bacterial endotoxins and hyperglycaemia-induced oxidative stress. In animal models of diabetes, it contributes to pain polyneuropathy. This study aims at defining the cellular localization of B 1 R in thoracic spinal cord of type 1 diabetic rats by confocal microscopy with the use of a fluorescent agonist, [Nα-Bodipy]-des-Arg 9 -BK (BdABK) and selective antibodies.

“…The hyperalgesic response to intrathecally injected B 1 R agonist was ascribed to the intraspinal release of NO and activation of NK-1R and NMDA-R, as previously reported following spinal activation of B 1 R in streptozotocin-diabetic rats [1]. The presence of B 1 R in spinal cord microglia is consistent with the emerging role of microglial B 1 R in pain neuropathy [29,30,49]. …”

“…These data are in agreement with previous reports that modification at the N-terminus of B1R-targeting peptides was tolerable, and the resulting derivatives could retain good binding affinity to B1R. [39][40][41][42] Of the four [desArg 10 ]kallidin derivatives, P04168 displayed the highest B1R binding affinity. At physiological pH, the Pip linker can be protonated to confer an additional +1 charge at the Nterminus.…”

“…This was previously demonstrated by B1R-targeting probes for receptorbinding assays and flow cytometry (26)(27)(28) as well as by B1R antagonists that are resistant to the cleavage by aminopeptidase N (25). On the basis of this finding, we initiated the development of PET probes for in vivo imaging of B1R expression.…”
