The regulator of G-protein signaling protein type 4 (RGS4) accelerates the guanosine triphosphatase activity of G(αi) and G(αo), resulting in the inactivation of G-protein-coupled receptor signaling. An opioid receptor (OR), a G(αi)-coupled receptor, plays an important role in pain modulation

The nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide (NOP) receptor and its endogenous ligand plays role in several physiologic functions of the central nervous system, including pain, locomotion, anxiety and depression, reward and drug addiction, learning and memory. Previous studies demonstrated that the NOP-receptor

The mossy fiber (MF) pathway is critical to hippocampal function and influenced by gonadal hormones. Physiological data are limited, so we asked whether basal transmission and long-term potentiation (LTP) differed in slices of adult male and female rats. The results
Clinical drug investigation, 34(6), 421-429 (2014-04-24)
Abuse of opioid analgesics has become a public health issue. Some opioid abusers use intravenous administration to increase the magnitude of positive reinforcing effects. Intravenous co-administration of oxycodone with naloxone, an opioid antagonist, may reduce these rewarding effects and discourage

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible involvement of the NO/cGMP/PKG/KATP+ pathway, cannabinoids and opioids in remote antinociception associated with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulph onic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis. TNBS-induced colitis was induced by intracolonic administration of 20 mg of

Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) delta and gamma (the p110δ and p110γ isoforms of PI3K) actively participate in the process of inflammation. We sought to elucidate the possible roles of PI3Kδ and PI3Kγ in mediating the anti-inflammation effects of naloxone. Murine macrophages
PloS one, 10(2), e0117601-e0117601 (2015-02-04)
Neuroplasticity in the mesolimbic dopaminergic system is critical for behavioral adaptations associated with opioid reward and addiction. These processes may be influenced by cholinergic transmission arising from the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus (LDTg), a main source of acetylcholine to mesolimbic dopaminergic
Neuropharmacology, 86, 353-361 (2014-09-10)
Increasing evidence demonstrates that different opioids, while acting μ opioid receptors, can activate distinct downstream responses, a phenomenon termed functional selectivity or biased agonism. The present study designed experiments to test whether the μ receptor agonist morphine and D-Ala(2), N-Me-Phe(4)
Therapeutic drug monitoring, 36(3), 345-352 (2013-12-25)

CR4056 is a novel imidazoline-2 (I2 ) ligand exhibiting potent analgesic activity in animal models of pain. In this study, we investigated the effects of CR4056 in a well-established model of postoperative pain where rats develop hyperalgesia in the injured
British journal of pharmacology, 171(13), 3328-3337 (2014-03-25)
The μ-opioid receptor has been characterized as the main mediator of opioid signalling in neuronal cells. Opioid-induced pain suppression was originally proposed to be mediated by μ-opioid receptor-induced inhibitory effects on cAMP, which is known to mediate inflammatory hypernociception. Recent
International journal of radiation biology, 90(7), 547-553 (2014-03-07)
To study the effect of single, 30-min long, whole-body, homogeneous static magnetic field (SMF)-exposure of magnetic induction 147 ± 3 mT on the response latency of the snail Helix pomatia. The response was investigated using the hot plate test. The
International journal of stroke : official journal of the International Stroke Society, 9(6), 802-810 (2012-08-30)
Strokes have both ischemic and hemorrhagic components, but most studies of experimental stroke only address the ischemic component. This is likely because investigations of hemorrhagic transformation are hindered by the lack of methods based on unbiased principles for volume estimation.
British journal of pharmacology, 172(9), 2258-2272 (2014-12-19)
Polymorphisms of the μ opioid receptor (MOPr) may contribute to the variation in responses to opioid drugs in clinical and unregulated situations. The A6V variant of MOPr (MOPr-A6V) is present in up to 20% of individuals in some populations, and

Ile(9)PK20 is a novel hybrid of opioid-neurotensin peptides synthesized from the C-terminal hexapeptide of neurotensin and endomorphin-2 pharmacophore. This chimeric compound shows potent central and peripheral antinociceptive activity in experimental animals, however nothing is known about its influence on the
Neurogastroenterology and motility : the official journal of the European Gastrointestinal Motility Society, 26(10), 1396-1407 (2014-07-22)
Although opioids induce intestinal muscle contraction and provoke constipation, the intestinal region(s) that contribute to the constipation have remained unclear. We report here a region-specific response of intestinal muscle contraction to morphine and its correlation with in vivo constipation. Regions
Pharmacological reports : PR, 67(1), 90-96 (2015-01-07)
we investigated the possible mechanisms involved in the interactions of venlafaxine (VFX), a selective serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor, and morphine (MRF), an opioid receptor agonist, after acute and chronic VFX treatment in diabetic neuropathic pain model (DNPM). The studies
PloS one, 9(10), e110230-e110230 (2014-10-11)
Opioids, acting at μ opioid receptors, are commonly used for pain management. Chronic opioid treatment induces cellular adaptations, which trigger long-term side effects, including constipation mediated by enteric neurons. We tested the hypothesis that chronic opioid treatment induces alterations of
CNS & neurological disorders drug targets, 13(9), 1520-1529 (2014-12-06)
There is an increasing number of evidence showing analgesic properties of the kynurenic acid (KYNA), and also some studies demonstrate that kynurenine might interact with the opioid system. Therefore in this study, for the first time we investigated the direct
The Journal of physiology, 592(16), 3611-3624 (2014-06-01)
Descending controls of spinal nociceptive processing play a critical role in the development of inflammatory hyperalgesia. Acute peripheral nociceptor sensitization drives spinal sensitization and activates spino-supraspinal-spinal loops leading to descending inhibitory and facilitatory controls of spinal neuronal activity that further
Psychopharmacology, 231(24), 4659-4668 (2014-05-16)
The persistence of physical dependence and craving in addicts is considered to contribute to relapse. Increasing evidence indicates that neuropeptide systems are associated with several phases of drug addiction, but little is known about whether the neuropeptide trefoil factor affects
Neuroscience letters, 558, 62-66 (2013-11-12)
Orexin neuropeptides have been reported to be involved in morphine induced physical dependence and withdrawal. The Lateral Paragigantocellularis (LPGi) is a key brain region implicated in the expression of somatic signs of morphine withdrawal syndrome. Orexin A and orexin type
