Morphine is frequently used for the treatment of chronic pain, while long-term use of the drug leads to analgesic tolerance. At present, the prevention of the side effect remains a big challenge. Bulleyaconitine A, a diterpenoid alkaloid from Aconitum bulleyanum plants, has been used to treat chronic pain in China for more than 30 years. In the present study, we tested the effect of bulleyaconitine A on analgesic tolerance induced by morphine injections (10 mg/kg s.c., b.i.d.) in the lumbar 5 spinal nerve ligation model of neuropathic pain. We found that intragastrical application of bulleyaconitine A (0.4 mg/kg) 30 min before each morphine injection substantially inhibited the decrease in morphine’s inhibitory effect on mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia. Mechanistically, morphine injections further potentiated the lumbar 5 spinal nerve ligation induced long-term potentiation at C-fiber synapses in the spinal dorsal horn, a synaptic model of chronic pain. This effect was completely blocked by intragastrical bulleyaconitine A. It has been well established that activation of protein kinase C gamma and of glial cells in the spinal dorsal horn are critical for the development of opioid tolerance and neuropathic pain. We found that morphine injections exacerbated the upregulation of phospho-protein kinase C gamma (an active form of protein kinase C gamma), and the activation of microglia and astrocytes in the spinal dorsal horn induced by lumbar 5 spinal nerve ligation, and the effects were considerably prohibited by intragastrical bulleyaconitine A. Thus, spinal long-term potentiation at C-fiber synapses may underlie morphine tolerance. Oral administration of bulleyaconitine A may be a novel and simple approach for treating of opioid tolerance.
