Altered microviscosity at brain membrane surface induces distinct and reversible inhibition of opioid receptor binding.

چکیده
In synaptosomal membranes from rat and monkey brain cortex, the addition of petroselenic (18:1, cis-delta 6) acid, oleic (18:1, cis-delta 9) acid, and vaccenic (18:1, cis-delta 11) acid or their corresponding methyl esters at 0.5 mumol/mg of membrane protein caused a similar 7-10% decrease in the microviscosity of the membrane core, whereas at the membrane surface the microviscosity was reduced 5-7% by the fatty acids but only 1% by their methyl esters. Concomitantly, the fatty acids, but not the methyl esters, inhibited the specific binding of the tritiated mu-, delta-, and kappa-opioids Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-(Me)Phe-Gly-ol (DAMGO), [D-Pen2,D-Pen5]enkephalin (DPDPE), and U69,593, respectively. As shown with oleic acid, the sensitivity of opioid receptor binding toward inhibition by fatty acids was in the order delta greater than mu much greater than kappa, whereby the binding of [3H]DPDPE was abolished, but significant inhibition of [3H]U69,593 binding, determined in membranes from monkey brain, required membrane modification with a twofold higher fatty acid concentration. Except for the unchanged KD of [3H]U69,593, the inhibition by oleic acid involved both the Bmax and affinity of opioid binding. Cholesteryl hemisuccinate (0.5-3 mumol/mg of protein), added to membranes previously modified by fatty acids, reversed the fluidization caused by the latter compounds and restored inhibited mu-, delta-, and kappa-opioid binding toward control values. In particular, the Bmax of [3H]-DPDPE binding completely recovered after being undetectable.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Modulation of opioid receptor binding by cis and trans fatty acids.
In synaptosomal brain membranes, the addition of oleic acid (cis), elaidic acid (trans), and the cis and trans isomers of vaccenic acid, at a concentration of 0.87 mumol of lipid/mg of protein, strongly reduced the Bmax and, to a lesser degree, the binding affinity of the mu-selective opioid [3H]Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-(Me)Phe-Gly-ol ([3H]DAMGO). At comparable membrane content, the cis isomers of the fat...
متن کاملMolecular docking study of Papaver alkaloids to some alkaloid receptors
Background and objectives: More than 40 different alkaloids have been obtained from opium the most important of which are morphine, codeine, papaverine, noscapine and tabaine. Opioid alkaloids produce analgesia by affecting areas of the brain that have peptides with pharmacological pseudo-opioid properties. These alkaloids show important effects on some intracellular peptides l...
متن کاملOptimum Conditions of Radioligand Receptor Binding Assay of Ligands of Benzodiazepine Receptors
To obtain drugs which are more selective at benzodiazepine (BZD) receptors, design and synthesis of functionally selective ligands for BZD receptors is the current strategy of our pharmaceutical chemistry department. The affinity of newly synthesized ligands is assessed by radioligand receptor binding assays. Based on our previous studies, 2-phenyl-5-oxo-7-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolo[a,2,3]-pyrimid...

متن کاملCholesterol as a bioregulator in the development and inhibition of leukemia.
Leukemia in mice and humans is accompanied by a marked deficiency of unesterified cholesterol in the surface membrane of leukemic cells as compared to normal leukocytes. This deficiency induces a significant reduction in their membrane microviscosity. Since cholesterol in the cell surface membrane is exchangeable with cholesterol in the serum lipoproteins, concomitant to the cellular deficiency...
