Male ICR mice, young (25-days old), mature (3-months old), and old (22 months), were injected with morphine sulfate (10 mg/kg, s.c.) or were implanted with morphine pellets (75 mg). Controls received saline injections or placebo pellets. One hour after injections and 72 h after pellet implantations, the mice were decapitated and striatal regions were removed for the following analyses: calmodulin (CaM) levels via radioimmunoassay and activities of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases, adenylate and guanylate cyclases, and Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase. Acute morphine treatment produced the following: (1) increases in calmodulin levels in the young and old mice while having no effect on mature levels; (2) increases in activities of guanylate cyclase of mature mice while decreasing those of the old mice; (3) no effects on activity of adenylate cyclase; (4) decreased activity of cyclic AMP-phosphodiesterase in young mice only; (5) decreased activity of Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase in the old mice only. The only changes found in striata from morphine-tolerant mice when compared with age-matched controls were elevations in cyclic GMP-phosphodiesterase activities in all three age groups. Differences in control values of the three age groups were as follows: CaM levels, mature greater than old greater than young; Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase activity, old greater than mature-young. The results indicate age-induced changes in cellular regulation and biochemical responses to morphine.

Two hours after administration of Soman (120 micrograms/kg, s.c.), Sarin (150 micrograms/kg, s.c.), or Tabun (240 micrograms/kg, s.c.), microsomes and cytosol were prepared from rat striata. Microsomal and cytosolic calmodulin (CaM) levels, microsomal adenylate and guanylate cyclase activities, protein kinase activities, and Ca2+ + Mg2+-ATPase activities were determined while cytosolic phosphodiesterase (PDE) activities were determined. CaM levels in both cell fractions were significantly increased by Soman and Sarin. Cyclic AMP-PDE and adenylate cyclase activities were decreased by Soman and Sarin. All three agents decreased activities of cyclic GMP-PDE and guanylate cyclase. Sarin and Tabun administration caused significant increases in microsomal protein kinase activity and none of the agents affected activity of divalent cation ATPases. The intensity of effects of the three organophosphates roughly paralleled their observed neurotoxic potencies. The results indicate that components of the CaM system are implicated as either causative or adaptive changes induced by these agents.
