Chronic morphine treatment produces behavioral and cellular opioid tolerance that has been proposed to be caused by attenuated μ-opioid receptor (MOR) recovery from desensitization (resensitization). The process of MOR resensitization is thought to require βarrestin-2 (βarr-2)-dependent trafficking of desensitized receptors to endosomal compartments, followed by recycling of resensitized recept...
Narcotic analgesics cause addiction by poorly understood mechanisms, involving mu opoid receptor (MOR). Previous cell culture studies have demonstrated significant basal, spontaneous MOR signaling activity, but its relevance to narcotic addiction remained unclear. In this study, we tested basal MOR-signaling activity in brain tissue from untreated and morphine-pretreated mice, in comparison to ...
The MOR cryptosystem is a generalization of the ElGamal cryptosystem, where the discrete logarithm problem works in the automorphism group of a group G, instead of the group G itself. The framework for the MOR cryptosystem was first proposed by Paeng et al. [13]. Mahalanobis [10] used the group of unitriangular matrices for the MOR cryptosystem. That effort was successful: the MOR cryptosystem ...
Anti-Analgesic Effect of the Mu/Delta Opioid Receptor Heteromer Revealed by Ligand-Biased Antagonism
Delta (DOR) and mu opioid receptors (MOR) can complex as heteromers, conferring functional properties in agonist binding, signaling and trafficking that can differ markedly from their homomeric counterparts. Because of these differences, DOR/MOR heteromers may be a novel therapeutic target in the treatment of pain. However, there are currently no ligands selective for DOR/MOR heteromers, and, c...
The endogenous μ-opioid receptor (MOR) system regulates motivational and hedonic processing. We tested directly whether individual differences in MOR are associated with neural reward responses to food pictures in humans. We scanned 33 non-obese individuals with positron emission tomography (PET) using the MOR-specific radioligand [11C]carfentanil. During a functional magnetic resonance imaging...
Chronic morphine causes the mu opioid receptor (MOR) to switch its coupling from Gi/o to Gs, resulting in excitatory signaling via both Galphas and its Gbetagamma dimer. Ultra-low-dose naloxone (NLX) prevents this switch and attenuates opioid tolerance and dependence. This protective effect is mediated via a high-affinity interaction of NLX to a pentapeptide region in c-terminal filamin A (FLNA...
We previously demonstrated that the spinal cord κ-opioid receptor (KOR) and μ-opioid receptor (MOR) form heterodimers (KOR/MOR). KOR/MOR formation and the associated KOR dependency of spinal morphine antinociception are most robust during proestrus. Using Sprague Dawley rats, we now demonstrate that (1) spinal synthesis of estrogen is critical to these processes, and (2) blockade of either estr...
The effects of phosphorylation of the tyrosine residue in the highly conserved DRY motif expressed in the putative second cytoplasmic loop of the mu-opioid receptor were assessed after expression in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells. Tyrosine kinase activation by epidermal growth factor (EGF) or hydrogen peroxide treatment effectively increased phosphorylation of the tyrosine-166 in the mu...
The utility of morphine for the treatment of chronic pain is hindered by the development of tolerance. Fentanyl has been shown to be a potent analgesic with a lower propensity to produce tolerance and physical dependence in the clinical setting. Previous finding has shown that fentanyl induces mu opioid receptor gene expression in PC-12 cells (Brain Res 859:217-223, 2000). In this report, we ai...
Dopamine (DA) modulates spinal reflexes, including nociceptive reflexes, in part via the D3 receptor subtype. We have previously shown that mice lacking the functional D3 receptor (D3KO) exhibit decreased paw withdrawal latencies from painful thermal stimuli. Altering the DA system in the CNS, including D1 and D3 receptor systems, reduces the ability of opioids to provide analgesia. Here, we te...
