In vivo and in vitro approaches were used to investigate a possible change in the opiate receptors during the development of tolerance/ depende. With the pAx method no significant change in the apparent pA2 of naloxone in tolerant rats in vivo could be found, indicating that no substantial change in the affinity for the receptors takes place. Comparison of receptor binding of 3H-etorphine and 3H-naloxone to rat brain homogenate in vitro showed no difference in binding between naive and tolerant rats. The displacement of small amounts of high labeled antagonist or agonist by increasing amounts of unlabeled antagonist in mouse brain in vivo offered the possibility of characterizing properties of receptors in the intact animal. This technique revealed no indication of a change in the number of receptor sites in tolerant animals. An apparently lower affinity in the tolerant animals could be explained by the morphine present in these animals. Displacement of 3H-etorphine from receptors by a high amount of unlabeled naltrexone in vivo could also be demonstrated by autoradiography.  相似文献

A number of opiate antagonists and the dextro isomers of some of these drugs were studied for antagonism of acute opiate effects on ilea isolated from opiate-naive guinea pigs, precipitation of a withdrawal contraction of ilea isolated from morphine-dependent guinea pigs, precipitation of withdrawal in morphine-dependent rhesus monkeys and stereospecific displacement of 3H-etorphine binding to rat-brain membranes. With the exception of d-naloxone, all of the compounds displaced 3H-etorphine. With the exception of d-naloxone, nalorphine, and quaternary nalorphine, all of the antagonists caused a contraction of ilea isolated from morphine-dependent guinea pigs. Moreover, the IC 50 values of the compounds for displacing 3H-etorphine binding were well correlated with both their Ke values for antagonism in the ileum (r = 0.95) and with their EC 50 values for precipitating a contraction in this preparation (r = 0.92). Generally, the concentration of antagonist necessary to precipitate half maximal contracture was 30-fold greater than the Ke value of the antagonist. Most of the opiate antagonists also precipitated withdrawal when administered to morphine-dependent rhesus monkeys and their in vivo potencies were well correlated with their in vitro potencies in ileum (with Ke: r = 0.95; with EC 50: r = 0.99) and in displacing 3H-etorphine (r = 0.95). The quaternary derivative of naltrexone, however, was an effective opiate antagonist only in vitro, and was ineffective in precipitating withdrawal in morphine-dependent rhesus monkeys. These results suggest that the receptor sites labeled by 3H-etorphine are the same as those involved in antagonism of acute opiate actions and in precipitation of withdrawal.  相似文献

Mu and kappa opiate binding sites in the rabbit CNS   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
J C Meunier 《Life sciences》1982,31(12-13):1327-1330
We have examined the ability of various opiates to compete with the binding of 3H-etorphine (0.5 nM) in membranes from the rabbit cerebellum and thalamus. Our data suggest that greater than 80% of 3H-etorphine binding occurs at mu receptor sites in cerebellum membranes. In thalamus membranes, D-Ala2, D-Leu5-enkephalin (DADL) resolves binding of 3H-etorphine into two components. The first component accounts for about 50% of binding and may represent interaction of the radioligand with mu receptor sites. The second component is unaffected in the presence of high (1-5 microM) concentrations of DADL. The ranking of potency for opiate inhibition of the second component is ethylketocyclazocine greater than naloxone much greater than morphine much greater than DADL, suggesting it represents binding of 3H-etorphine to a kappa-opiate binding site. In the rabbit brain, the kappa-opiate binding site is particularly abundant in the thalamus followed by frontal cortex and caudate nucleus.  相似文献

Radio receptor assay (RRA) was adopted to analyse the influence of CCK-8 on 3H-etorphine binding to opiate receptors in rat brain synaptosomal membranes (P2). In the competition experiment CCK-8 (1pM to 1 microM) suppressed the binding of 3H-etorphine. This effect was completely reversed by proglumide at 1 microM. Rosenthal analysis for saturation revealed two populations of 3H-etorphine binding sites. CCK-8 (1pM to 1 microM) inhibited 3H-etorphine binding to the high affinity sites by an increase in Kd (up to +235%) and decrease in Bmax (up to -80%) without significant changes in the Kd and Bmax of the low affinity sites. This effect of CCK-8 (10nM) was also completely reversed by proglumide at 1 microM. Unsulfated CCK-8 (100pM to 1 microM) produced only a slight increase in Kd of the high affinity sites (+64%) without affecting Bmax. The results suggest that CCK-8 might be capable of suppressing the high affinity opioid binding sites via the activation of CCK receptor.  相似文献

Cerebroside sulfate (CS) appears to fulfill most of the structural requirements of a hypothetical opiate receptor. It possesses many of the properties that are thought to be necessary for the identification of an "opiate receptor," exhibiting high affinity and stereoselective binding to a number of narcotic drugs. Although these properties are insufficient to establish identity of the receptor, it is highly significant that the affinity of this binding can be correlated with the analgetic potency of these drugs in both man and rodents. CS is an endogenous component of brain tissue, and a partially purified opiate receptor from mouse brain has been found to be CS. Other experiments indicate that reduced availability of brain CS decreases the analgetic effects of morphine and this is accompanied by a reduction in number of binding sites, suggesting that the interaction of opiates with CS observed in vitro may also have importance in vivo. CS was also found to be a component of the opiate receptor after marking with 125I-labeled diazosulfanilic acid. The possibility that CS or the SO4-2 group of this lipid may be the "anionic site" of the opiate receptor should be considered.  相似文献

The kinetic of serotoninergic receptor systems was studied in an in vitro model for opiate tolerance and dependence. The fundus strip of rats chronically treated with morphine and sacrificed at different time intervals and in different conditions (with and without abstinence signs) was used. The differences between the response to the 5-HT in a situation of abstinence as compared to the same preparation in a situation of non-abstinence (in vitro model for dependence) are not statistically significant. The variations in the response as related to duration of treatment in vivo of the various groups of animals, cannot be significantly correlated to morphine-induced tolerance.  相似文献

Ethanol increases the activity of "basal," guanine nucleotide- and dopamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase in mouse striatum. In contrast, ethanol, in vitro, did not modify the inhibition of striatal adenylate cyclase activity by opiates (morphine or [D-Ala2,D-Leu5] enkephalin). Following chronic in vivo ethanol treatment of mice, there was also no change in the character of opiate inhibition of striatal adenylate cyclase activity. Since ethanol, in vitro, does decrease striatal opiate receptor binding, the results suggest that the changes in affinity detected by ligand binding studies are not relevant for receptor-coupled adenylate cyclase activity, or that opiate receptor binding and opiate regulation of adenylate cyclase can be modulated independently. The selective effects of ethanol on systems that modulate adenylate cyclase activity may produce imbalances in neuronal function during in vivo ethanol exposure.  相似文献

In membranes from rat brain striatum, opiate agonists stimulated low-K GTPase. Half-maximal enhancement of enzyme activity was obtained with 0. 09m microM morphine and 3.8 microM levorphanol. This order of potency corresponded to that of the affinities of these compounds in binding to opiate receptor. The effect was inhibited by the antagonist naloxone. As shown by the use of the enantiomers levorphanol and dextrorphan, only the pharmacologically active stereoisomer stimulated GTPase. In membranes isolated from morphine-dependent rats, the activity of GTPase was reduced 20-40% relative to that in control rats. After the precipitation of morphine abstinence by naloxone, brain GTPase activity was intermediate between the respective values for naive and dependent animals.  相似文献

Solubilization of membrane bound opiate receptor from rat brain   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Sonication of rat brain membranes for 9 minutes solubilized 35% of their stereospecific opiate binding activity; a second 9 minute sonication of the insoluble residue released an additional 21% of the original binding. The opiate binding properties of the solubilized material were highly similar to those of membrane bound receptor by a number of criteria, including affinity, effect of sodium, and the IC50 of unlabeled opiates in displacing 3H-etorphine binding. Moreover, storage of the solubilized receptor fraction for two weeks at ?20°C did not significantly change the receptor binding. Sonication thus appears to be a useful first step in purifying the opiate receptor.  相似文献

Binding of 3H-etorphine and 3H-D-Ala2-D-Leu5-enkephalin to opiate receptors in synaptosomal and microsomal fractions prepared from guinea pig ileum homogenates has been studied. It is found that the dissociation constants for etorphine from all fractions are the same. The binding capacity for etorphine for the purified synaptosomal fraction is greater than for other fractions by a factor of 5. For the enkephalin derivative binding to the microsomal fraction the dissociation constant is greater than for etorphine while the binding capacity is a factor of 3 lower. These results are in contrast to the case for binding to central nervous system subcellular fractions.  相似文献

The pentapeptide leucine enkephalin induced down-regulation of enkephalin receptors in neuroblastoma-glioma NG108-15 hybrid cells in a reversible fashion, whereas the stable enkephalin analogue D-Ala2-Met-enkephalinamide (AMEA), and the potent opiate alkaloid, etorphine, had a prolonged effect. The opiate alkaloid, morphine, which has low affinity to delta-type enkephalin receptors of these cells did not induce down-regulation, whereas AMEA decreased the binding of both opiate agonists and antagonists but had no effect on the binding of the alpha 2-adrenergic ligand, [3H]yohimbine. From several experiments that were designed to remove the tightly bound AMEA, and from experiments with solubilized receptor we ruled out the possibility that the decreased binding capacity of enkephalin-treated cells reflects only receptor masking. The study suggests that down-regulation of enkephalin receptors that may also occur in vivo can account for some of the abnormal physiological responses of subjects treated chromically with opiates. However, since opiates from the morphine type can induce opiate tolerance in vivo, but not down-regulation of enkephalin receptors in the cultured cells, we suggest that down-regulation of delta-type opiate receptors may not be prerequisite for the development of the physiological tolerance/dependence on these alkaloids.  相似文献

Injection of a large dose of morphine into a guinea pig results in a block of electrically-induced contractions of the ileum in vitro. A similar dose is almost ineffective in guinea pigs given morphine chronically. The time course for development of this tolerance has been determined in guinea pigs injected twice daily with morphine 100 mg/kg and challenged on various days with 750 mg/kg of the drug. Animals similarly injected but not challenged served as controls. The inhibitory effect of the challenging dose on electrical stimulation of longitudinal muscle decreased with successive days of morphine administration; by the 10th day there was almost complete tolerance to the challenging dose. Sensitivity of the tissues of chronically morphinized unchallenged controls towards acetylcholine, serotonin, histamine and norepinephrine was essentially the same as that of naive animals. The potency of morphine in vitro in blocking electrical stimulation was also unchanged by chronic morphine administration in the above manner. Thus tolerance to injected morphine cannot be explained by reduced affinity of the drug for the opiate receptor. Tissues of chronically morphinized animals gave a contracture with naloxone, the extent of the contracture increasing with time of drug administration. This naloxone effect is attributed to displacement of morphine from a new opiate receptor site induced during morphine administration. It is suggested that this new receptor is involved in tolerance to injected morphine as well as some aspects of the withdrawal syndrome.  相似文献

The kinetic of cholinergic receptor systems was studied in an in vitro model for opiate tolerance and dependence. The isolated ileum of rate chronically treated with morphine and sacrificed at different time intervals and in different conditions (with and without abstinence signs) was used. In evaluating the response of this preparation to doses of ACh ranging from 5.5 x 10(-10) to 5.5 x 10(-7), no statistically significant response was found to the cholinergic receptor system in conditions of abstinence and non-abstinence in vivo and in vitro. On the other hand, statistically significant differences are related to duration of treatment in vivo. The pattern for these responses is similar to the one observed in the fundus (Note I) and it can be considered as an expression of morphine-induced tolerance.  相似文献

Studies from our laboratory have revealed a novel mu opiate receptor, mu 3, which is expressed in both vascular tissues and leukocytes. The mu 3 receptor is selective for opiate alkaloids and is insensitive to opioid peptides. We now identify the mu 3 receptor at the molecular level using a 441-bp conserved region of the mu 1 receptor. Sequence analysis of the isolated cDNA suggests that it is a novel, alternatively spliced variant of the mu opiate receptor gene. To determine whether protein expressed from this cDNA exhibits the biochemical characteristics expected of the mu 3 receptor, the cDNA clone was expressed in a heterologous system. At the functional level, COS-1 cells transfected with the mu 3 receptor cDNA exhibited dose-dependent release of NO following treatment with morphine, but not opioid peptides (i.e., Met-enkephalin). Naloxone was able to block the effect of morphine on COS-1 transfected cells. Nontransfected COS-1 cells did not produce NO in the presence of morphine or the opioid peptides at similar concentrations. Receptor binding analysis with [(3)H]dihydromorphine further supports the opiate alkaloid selectivity and opioid peptide insensitivity of this receptor. These data suggest that this new mu opiate receptor cDNA encodes the mu 3 opiate receptor, since it exhibits biochemical characteristics known to be unique to this receptor (opiate alkaloid selective and opioid peptide insensitive). Furthermore, using Northern blot, RT-PCR, and sequence analysis, we have demonstrated the expression of this new mu variant in human vascular tissue, mononuclear cells, polymorphonuclear cells, and human neuroblastoma cells.  相似文献

The displacement of 3H-diprenorphine from opiate receptors by mu-selective opiates was measured in the mouse striatum and thalamus in vivo. In addition, the regional distribution of opiate receptor binding using 3H-diprenorphine, 3H-naloxone and 3H-lofentanil was measured. The displacement of 3H-diprenorphine by naloxone and carfentanil in vivo showed no differences in the striatum and thalamus suggesting that 3H-diprenorphine binds only to one opiate receptor subtype in vivo. This finding is substantiated by the observation that the mu selective ligands 3H-naloxone and 3H-lofentanil have the same in vivo distribution of receptor binding as 3H-diprenorphine. The implication of these findings for PET imaging of opiate receptor subtypes is discussed.  相似文献

The preferential interactions of alpha-interferon (alpha-IFN) with delta and mu opiate receptors were studied. alpha-IFN (specific antiviral activity 2 X 10(3) U/mg protein) was shown to inhibit in the competitive manner 3H-naloxone and 3H-D-ala2, D-leu5-enkephalin (3H-DADL) specific binding to opiate receptor subpopulations. alpha-IFN was much more effective in decreasing 3H-DADL than 3H-naloxone binding in opiate receptors: K1 values averaged 160 +/- 30 and 1150 +/- 80 U/ml, respectively. IFN effective concentrations inhibiting 50% of 3H-naloxone opiate receptor binding in the absence or presence of 100 mmol/l NaCl were similar, and the "sodium shift" value was equal to 1. The independence of alpha-IFN activity of the presence of NA+ cations suggests the antagonist character of alpha-IFN interaction with opiate receptors. Thus, alpha-IFN employed appears to be an alpha-selective ligand displaying the in vitro properties of "pure" morphine antagonists.  相似文献

The pentapeptide leucine enkephalin induced down-regulation of enkephalin receptors in neuroblastoma-glioma NG108-15 hybrid cells in a reversible fashion, whereas the stable enkephalin analogue, d-Ala2-Met-enkephalinamide (AMEA), and the potent opiate alkaloid, etorphine, had a prolonged effect. The opiate alkaloid, morphine, which has low affinity to δ-type enkephalin receptors of these cells did not induce down-regulation, whereas AMEA decreased the binding of both opiate agonists and antagonists but had no effect on the binding of the α2-adrenergic ligand, [3H]yohimbine. From several experiments that were designed to remove the tightly bound AMEA, and from experiments with solubilized receptor we ruled out the possibility that the decreased binding capacity of enkephalin-treated cells reflects only receptor masking.

Identification of opiate receptor binding in intact animals.   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
C B Pert  S H Snyder 《Life sciences》1975,16(10):1623-1634
After intravenous administration of 3H-naloxone to rats, particulate bound radioactivity accumulated in the brain is selectively associated with opiate receptor binding sites, providing a means of labeling the opiate receptor in vivo. The regional distribution of 3H-naloxone bound in vivo closely parallels regional differences in opiate receptor binding in vitro with highest levels in the corpus striatum, negligible receptor-associated binding in the cerebellum and intermediate levels in other regions. 3H-Naloxone binding in vivo is saturable with the same total number of binding sites determined in vivo as by in vitro procedures. Nalorphine is markedly more potent than morphine in inhibiting 3H-naloxone binding in vivo and non-opiates are ineffective. The half-life for dissociation of 3H-naloxone bound to particles in vivo is the same as its dissociation rate after binding occurs in vitro, and sodium stabilizes 3H-naloxone bound in vivo from initial rapid dissociation as predicted from the known properties of the opiate receptor in vitro.  相似文献

A procedure is described for the measurement of rat prostatic androgen receptor saturated in vivo with non-radioactive androgen. While NaSCN alone induces irreversible dissociation (denaturation) of androgen from the receptor, the combination of this chaotropic salt (0.15 M) with sucrose (15%) and sodium molybdate (10 mM) allows the exchange of R DHT with [3H]DHT at 0 degrees C with only minimal receptor denaturation. The validity of the present exchange assay is based on the following: a similar quantity of androgen receptor was detected when binding was measured directly after in vivo treatment with radioactive androgen or indirectly by [3H]DHT exchange after treatment with non-radioactive androgen. Steroid specificity, sedimentation analysis and equilibrium association constants indicated that this exchange assay labels the androgen receptor without interference from other prostatic steroid binding proteins. With this method it is now possible to quantitate not only prostatic androgen receptors bound to androgens in vitro but also hormone-receptor complexes formed in intact animals under the influence of endogenous androgen.  相似文献

The sensitivity of the receptor dissociation rate of the opiate agonist [3H]etorphine to the effects of guanosine-5'-(beta, gamma-imido)triphosphate and Na+ was measured in washed rat brain membrane homogenates after in vivo labeling. Comparison to the previously measured rapid in vivo dissociation curve (t1/2 approximately 50 s) (Perry, D. C., Rosenbaum, J. S., Kurowski, M., and Sadée, W. (1982) Mol. Pharmacol. 21, 272-279) revealed that brain homogenization and membrane washing procedures significantly prolonged the dissociation rate, even when measured in the presence of Na+ and guanyl nucleotide. The in vivo dissociation rate could only be reproduced in vitro when labeling occurred in vivo and brain homogenization occurred in the presence of these regulatory factors. The prolonged in vitro [3H]etorphine dissociation curve was predominately a result of a decreased sensitivity to guanine nucleotide rather than to Na+. These data suggest that partial functional uncoupling of the opiate receptor-effector system may occur in vitro.  相似文献
