Background  The topical inflammatory soup can model the inflammation of the dura mater causing hypersensitivity and activation of the trigeminal system, a phenomenon present in migraineurs. Calcitonin gene-related peptide, transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 receptor, and neuronal nitric oxide synthase are important in the sensitization process there.  5-HT 1B/1D  receptor agonists, triptans are used as a treatment of migraine. Kynurenic acid an NMDA antagonist can act on structures involved in trigeminal activation.    Aim  We investigated the effect of inflammatory soup induced dural inflammation on the calcitonin gene-related peptide, transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 receptor, and neuronal nitric oxide synthase levels in the caudal trigeminal nucleus. We also tested whether pretreatment with a well-known antimigraine drug, such as sumatriptan and kynurenic acid, a compound with a different mechanism of action, can affect these changes and if their modulatory effects are comparable.    Material and methods  After subcutaneous sumatriptan or intraperitoneal kynurenic acid the dura mater of adult male Sprague-Dawley rats ( n  = 72) was treated with inflammatory soup or its vehicle (synthetic interstitial fluid). Two and a half or four hours later perfusion was performed and the caudal trigeminal nucleus was removed for immunohistochemistry.    Results and conclusion  Inflammatory soup increased calcitonin gene-related peptide, transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 receptor, and neuronal nitric oxide synthase in the caudal trigeminal nucleus compared to placebo, which was attenuated by sumatriptan and kynurenic acid. This suggests the involvement of 5-HT 1B/1D  and NMDA receptors in neurogenic inflammation development of the dura and thus in migraine attacks.
