Although neuropeptide FF (NPFF) is generally considered an anti-opioid, its intrathecal administration produces analgesia. In the present study, the stable analog 1DMe ([D.Tyr(1), (NMe)Phe(3)]neuropeptide FF) was used in quantitative autoradiographic experiments in combination with surgical and chemical lesions to precisely localize NPFF receptors in the rat spinal cord. Ligation of lumbar dorsal spinal roots revealed the presence of NPFF receptors in dorsal root fibers and it induced a significant accumulation of [(125)I]1DMe-specific binding on the side peripheral to the ligature, demonstrating that a population of NPFF receptors is synthesized in dorsal root ganglia and migrates anterogradely towards primary afferent nerve endings. Complete mid-thoracic spinal cord transection failed to modify the [(125)I]1DMe labeling density in the dorsal horn, indicating that NPFF receptors are not located on the descending fiber terminals. In contrast, unilateral microinjections of kainic acid into the dorsal horn dramatically reduced [(125)I]1DMe-specific binding in the superficial layers, revealing localization of a population of NPFF receptors on the spinal intrinsic neurons. NPFF receptor binding was not modified during the development of spinal opioid tolerance. The pre- and postsynaptic localization of spinal NPFF receptors provide further support for heterogeneity in the pain modulation by NPFF and related agonists.
