The invention discloses the novel use of a VEGF
antibody and a VEGF
receptor antagonist in the fields of pain-killing vaccines and
pharmacy, namely the use of the VEGF
antibody or the VEGF
receptor antagonist in the preparation of an acute /
chronic pain killing vaccine and a medicament for treating P2X3 and P2X2 / 3
purine receptor-mediated nerve
system diseases. Through experiments it is observed that the VEGF
antibody can inhibit the algetic behavior response; and by using
immunohistochemistry, in-situ hybridization, RT-PCR,
protein blotting and other techniques, it is observed that the VEGF antibody can inhibit the expression of mRNAs and proteins of the P2X2 and P2X3 receptors, VEGF and F1k-1 / VEGFR2 of rat dorsal root ganglia of a model of
neuropathic pain. Experiments prove that the pain killing mechanism of the VEGF antibody is that the pain is killed by neutralizing the VEGF or
antagonist VEGF receptor to reduce
pathologic pains and by blocking the pain
information transmission of dorsal root neurons. The invention provides a new method for preventing and treating acute and chronic pains. Meanwhile, it is shown that the VEGF antibody can inhibit the expression of the P2X2 and P2X3 receptors, which is favorable for the use of the VEGF antibody and the VEGF
receptor antagonist in the prevention and treatment of nerve
system diseases related to the P2X2 and P2X3 receptors.
