GSK650394 (1, 10, and 30 μM, 10 μL/rat, intrathecally) dose-dependently prevents CFA-induced pain behavior and the associates SGK1 phosphorylation, GluR1 trafficking, and protein-protein interactions at 1 day after CFA administration. GSK650394 at concentrations of 10, 30, and 100 nM (10 μL), but not vehicle solution (SNL 3D+Veh and SNL 7D+Veh, respectively), dose-dependently increases the withdrawal latency of the ipsilateral hindpaw at 1-3 and 1-5 h after injection at days 3 and 7 postsurgery (SNL 3D+GSK and SNL 7D+GSK, respectively). GSK650394 (from day 0 to 6 postsurgery; 100 nM, 10 μL, i.t.) administration alleviates SNL-induced allodynia at days 3, 5, and 7 postsurgery in SNL animals.
