Abstract in Portuguese
Nossa hipótese é de que os efeitos pró-inflamatórios iniciais da ativação do receptor ativado por protease 2 (PAR2) na articulação temporomandibular (ATM) sejam mediados por mecanismos neurogênicos. A análise por imunofluorescência revelou um alto grau de imunorreatividade ao PAR2 em aferentes primários trigeminais da ATM. Além do mais, a imunorreatividade ao PAR2 também foi observada na camada íntima da sinóvia, além de co-localizar com o marcador neuronal PGP9.5 e o neuropeptídeo substância P. A injeção intra-articular de agonistas PAR2 na ATM induziu um aumento dependente da dose no extravasamento plasmático, influxo de neutrófilos e indução de alodinia mecânica. O bloqueio farmacológico de receptors NK1 inibiu o aumento no extravasamento plasmático, influxo de neutrófilos e alodinia induzido pela ativação do PAR2. Em conclusão, a ativação do PAR2 é pró-inflamatório na ATM, via mecanismos neurogênicos envolvendo receptores NK1, sugerindo que o PAR2 é um importante componente da resposta imunológica inata na ATM.

Abstract in English
We hypothesised that the early pro-inflammatory effects of proteinase-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) activation in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are mediated by neurogenic mechanisms. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed a high degree of neurons expressing PAR2 in retrogradely labelled trigeminal ganglion neurons. Furthermore, PAR2 immunoreactivity was observed in the lining layer of the TMJ, co-localizing with the neuronal marker PGP9.5 and substance P-containing peripheral sensory nerve fibres. The intra-articular injection of PAR2 agonists into the TMJ triggered a dose-dependent increase in plasma extravasation, neutrophil influx and induction of mechanical allodynia. The pharmacological blockade of NK1 receptors abolished PAR2-induced plasma extravasation and inhibited neutrophil influx and mechanical allodynia. We conclude that PAR2 activation is pro-inflammatory in the TMJ, through a neurogenic mechanism involving NK1 receptors. This suggests that PAR2 is an important component of innate neuro-immune response in the TMJ.
