Changes in the number of receptors on the cell surface lead to modulations of physiological functions and pharmacological responses of neurons. Recent studies show that delta-opioid peptide (DOP) and mu-opioid peptide (MOP) receptors have distinct subcellular localizations in neurons. In nociceptive small neurons in the dorsal root ganglia, DOP receptors are sorted into neuropeptide-containing ...
Given the mounting evidence for involvement of delta opioid receptors in the tolerance and physical dependence of mu opioid receptor agonists, we have investigated the possible physical interaction between mu and delta opioid receptors by using bivalent ligands. Based on reports of suppression of antinociceptive tolerance by the delta antagonist naltrindole (NTI), bivalent ligands [mu-delta ago...
Chronic opiate administration results in the development of tolerance and dependence, but the regulation of mu opioid receptor function during this process is not clearly understood. To localize changes in mu opioid receptor-coupled G-protein activity in various brain regions after chronic morphine treatment, the present study examined mu opioid agonist-stimulated [35S]GTPgammaS binding to brai...
Use of prescription opioids for cancer pain according to the World Health Organization analgesic ladder has been accepted in Japan. Although oxycodone and fentanyl are commonly used as first-line analgesics, a few clinical reports have been published on interindividual variations in their pharmacokinetics and clinical responses in cancer patients. (1) Some factors relating to CYP2D6, CYP3A, ATP...
Although opioids are highly effective for the treatment of pain, they are also known to be intensely addictive. There has been a massive research investment in the development of opioid analgesics, resulting in a plethora of compounds with varying affinity and efficacy at all the known opioid receptor subtypes. Although compounds of extremely high potency have been produced, the problem of tole...
μ-Opioid receptors are among the most studied G protein-coupled receptors because of the therapeutic value of agonists, such as morphine, that are used to treat chronic pain. However, these drugs have significant side effects, such as respiratory suppression, constipation, allodynia, tolerance, and dependence, as well as abuse potential. Efforts to fine tune pain control while alleviating the s...
Functionally selective signaling appears to contribute to the variability in mechanisms that underlie tolerance to the antinociceptive effects of opioids. The present study tested this hypothesis by examining the contribution of G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK)/Protein kinase C (PKC) and C-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation on both the expression and development of tolerance to morph...
The Gbetagamma subunit has been implicated in many downstream signaling events associated with opioids. We previously demonstrated that a small molecule inhibitor of Gbetagamma-subunit-dependent phospholipase (PLC) activation potentiated morphine-induced analgesia (Bonacci et al., 2006). Here, we demonstrate that this inhibitor, M119 (cyclohexanecarboxylic acid [2-(4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-oxo-3H-xan...
dsAAV type 2-mediated gene transfer of MORS196A-EGFP into spinal cord as a pain management paradigm.
We previously reported that mutations in the mu-opioid receptor (MOR), S196L or S196A, rendered MOR responsive to the opioid antagonist naloxone without altering the agonist phenotype. Subsequently, a mouse strain carrying the S196A mutation exhibited in vivo naloxone antinociceptive activity without the development of tolerance. In this study we investigated the possibility of combining the in...
Co-administration of 8 opioid agonists at doses which do not produce measurable antinociception were demonstrafed to produce an increase in the antinociceptive potency of morphine in the mouse tail-flick test. In contrast, co-administration of equi-antinociceptive combinations of a 8 agonist plus morphine for three days resulted in the development of less tolerance to morphine antinociceptive a...
