Abstract

In order to investigate the proposed involvement of neuropeptides in musculoskeletal inflammation we pretreated rats, in an adjuvant spondylitis model, with capsaicin, a neurotoxin. Immunohistochemistry showed that administration of capsaicin to newborn rats depleted irreversibly the neuropeptide, substance P. Elimination of capsaicin-sensitive fibres by the neonatal injection of capsaicin did not suppress the peridiscitis of rats in which adjuvant spondylitis was induced at 7 weeks of age. However, elimination of capsaicin-sensitive fibres did suppress the inflammation usually seen in the bone marrow. We speculate that this intramedullary inflammation is normally induced or sustained by capsaicin-sensitive fibres.
