Parameters of ligand binding, stimulation of low-Km GTPase, and inhibition of adenylate cyclase were determined in intact human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells and in their isolated membranes, both suspended in identical physiological buffer medium. In cells, the mu-selective opioid agonist [3H]Tyr-D-Ala-Gly(Me)Phe-Gly-ol ([3H]DAMGO) bound to two populations of sites with KD values of 3.9 and 160 nM, with less than 10% of the sites in the high-affinity state. Both sites were also detected at 4 degrees C and were displaced by various opioids, including quaternary naltrexone. The opioid antagonist [3H]naltrexone bound to a single population of sites, and in cells treated with pertussis toxin the biphasic displacement of [3H]naltrexone by DAMGO became monophasic with only low-affinity binding present. The toxin specifically reduced high-affinity agonist binding but had no effect on the binding of [3H]naltrexone. In isolated membranes, both agonist and antagonist bound to a single population of receptor sites with affinities similar to that of the high-affinity binding component in cells. Addition of GTP to membranes reduced the Bmax for [3H]DAMGO by 87% and induced a linear ligand binding component; a low-affinity binding site, however, could not be saturated. Compared with results obtained with membranes suspended in Tris buffer, agonist binding, including both receptor density and affinity, in the physiological medium was attenuated. The results suggest that high-affinity opioid agonist binding represents the ligand-receptor-guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein) complex present in cells at low density due to modulation by endogenous GTP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Chronic treatment of neuroblastoma x glioma NG108-15 hybrid cells with the opioid agonist D-Ala,2 D-Leu5-enkephalin (DADLE) induces a homologous desensitization of the delta opioid receptors present in these cells. Since the Kd value of the delta opioid receptor's high-affinity state reflects the potency of the agonist, we examined the effect of receptor desensitization in NG108-15 cells on the percentage of receptor in the high-affinity state. When NG108-15 hybrid cells were treated with 10 or 100 nM DADLE for 4 hr at 24 degrees C, loss of DADLE's ability to inhibit adenylate cyclase was observed. However, when competition binding experiments were carried out with P2P3 membranes isolated from the delta opioid-desensitized hybrid cells, it was determined that 41.7 +/- 3.4% of the total binding sites remained in the high-affinity state, with no apparent alteration in the Kd value of either high- or low-affinity states. Similarly, when NG108-15 cells were treated with 100 ng/ml of pertussis toxin for 3 hr at 37 degrees C, 39.9 +/- 3.6% of the binding sites remained in the high-affinity state. This reduction in the percentage of receptor in high-affinity state was agonist specific, for chronic treatment of hybrid cells with levorphanol, a partial agonist, or the antagonist naloxone did not alter the percentage of opioid receptors in the high-affinity state. Furthermore, the delta opioid receptors remaining in the high-affinity state after chronic DADLE treatment were still sensitive to both Na+ and guanyldylimidodiphosphate, indicating that opioid ligand binding remained coupled to the G-proteins.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Direct hyperalgesia induced by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) can be blocked by mu- but not delta- or kappa-opioids. However, there is evidence that kappa- and delta-opioid receptors are located on sympathetic postganglionic neuron (SPGN) terminals, which mediate bradykinin (BK) hyperalgesia via SPGN-terminal-dependent production of PGE2. Therefore, we evaluated the antinociceptive effect of delta- and kappa-opioids on BK hyperalgesia. We demonstrate that the mechanical hyperalgesia induced by intradermal injection of BK can be blocked by the kappa-opioid agonist trans-3,4-dichloro-N-methyl-N[2-(-pyrrolidinyl)cyclo-hexyl] benzeneacetamide (U50,488H) and by the delta-opioid agonist (D-Pen2,5)-enkephalin (DPDPE), as well as the mu-opioid agonist Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-NMe-Phe-Gly-ol(DAMGO). Pertussis toxin prevented the inhibition of BK-induced hyperalgesia by U50,488H, DPDPE, or DAMGO. We conclude that the observed peripheral analgesic effects of kappa- and delta-opioid agonists result from actions upon SPGN terminals and that these effects are mediated by inhibitory G-proteins.

The putative regulatory effect of opioids on adenylate cyclase was investigated in two different preparations containing, respectively, two different populations of opioid receptors: the rabbit cerebellum (greater than 75% mu-opioid receptors) and the guinea pig cerebellum (greater than 80% kappa-opioid receptors). In the mu-preparation, but not in the kappa-preparation, opioids inhibited the basal and the forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in a dose-dependent manner and stereospecifically. The inhibition was in the 20-30% range, required the presence in the assay medium of Mg2+ and of GTP, but was independent of the presence of Na+. Pharmacological characterization of the inhibitory response in the rabbit cerebellum clearly showed that it was under the control of a mu-opioid binding site, with the effect being elicited by non-selective (etorphine and morphine) and mu-selective (Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Me-Phe-Gly-ol) agonists, whereas delta- and kappa-selective agonists were almost totally ineffective. ADP ribosylation of inhibitory GTP-binding protein by pertussis toxin failed to block the inhibitory effect of opioids, and data presented suggest that this failure is likely to be the consequence of a limited access of the toxin to its substrate in rabbit cerebellum membranes.

A mu-opioid receptor-GTP binding protein (mu-opioid receptor-G-protein) complex from the 7315c cell was solubilized with CHAPS (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propane sulfonate) and reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles. Pretreatment of the tissue with either [3H]etorphine or morphine greatly improved recovery of the receptor and maintained it in a GTP-sensitive state. GTP sensitivity was consistent with the hypothesis that a receptor-G-protein complex had been obtained. Other evidence consistent with this hypothesis was that recovery of the solubilized, prelabelled receptor was decreased by approximately 70% by pretreatment of 7315c cells with pertussis toxin. The reconstituted receptor was mu-selective: DAGO (Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Met-Phe- NH(CH2)2OH), but not ICI 174864 or U50488-H, displaced [3H]etorphine binding with high affinity. The affinity of the reconstituted receptor for [3H]etorphine (1.25 +/- 0.20 nM) was similar to that observed for the membrane-associated receptor (0.53 +/- 0.25 nM). GTP gamma S decreased this affinity 3-fold without changing the number of binding sites. The potencies of GTP gamma S and GTP in diminishing [3H]etorphine binding were similar in the membrane and vesicle preparations, but were 10-fold lower than the potencies observed in diminishing binding to the solubilized receptor. The ability to reconstitute a functional mu-opioid receptor-G-protein complex will facilitate further study of the structure and function of the receptor and the specific identification of the associated GTP-binding protein(s).

The intradermal injection of mu (morphine, Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-NMe-Phe-Gly-ol and morphiceptin), kappa (trans-3,4-dichloro-N-methyl-N[2-(1-pyrrolidinyl) cyclohexyl]benzeneactemide) and delta ([D-Pen2.5]-enkephalin and [D-Ser2]-[Leu]enkephalin-Thr) selective opioid-agonists, by themselves, did not significantly affect the mechanical nociceptive threshold in the hindpaw of the rat. Intradermal injection of mu, but not delta or kappa opioid-agonists, however, produced dose-dependent inhibition of prostaglandin E2-induced hyperalgesia. The analgesic effect of the mu-agonist morphine was dose-dependently antagonized by naloxone and prevented by co-injection of pertussis toxin. Morphine did not, however, alter the hyperalgesia induced by 8-bromo cyclic adenosine monophosphate. We conclude that the analgesic action of opioids on the peripheral terminals of primary afferents is via a binding site with characteristics of the mu-opioid receptor and that this action is mediated by inhibition of the cyclic adenosine monophosphate second messenger system.

Organotypic cultures of fetal mouse spinal cord-ganglion explants (2-4 weeks in vitro) contain forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase (AC) activity that is inhibited by levorphanol and other opioid agonists in a dose-dependent manner. Inhibition by levorphanol no longer occurs if sodium is omitted from the incubation and the levorphanol inhibition is blocked by the opioid antagonist, naloxone. These findings together with the ineffectiveness of dextrorphan indicate that the opioid inhibition of forskolin-stimulated AC is receptor mediated. Both the delta- and kappa-receptor subtypes appear to be involved since the selective delta-opioid agonist, [D-Pen2, D-Pen5]enkephalin, and the selective kappa-opioid agonist, t-3,4-dichloro-N-methyl-N[2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)cyclohexyl]-benzene acetamide (U-50,488H) are both effective at nanomolar concentrations. In contrast, the selective mu-opioid agonist, Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-N-MePhe-Gly-ol, has no significant effect even at micromolar concentrations. Both cord and ganglion components of the explants contain opioid-sensitive AC. Forskolin-stimulated AC of the explants is also inhibited by serotonin and carbachol. The serotonin effect appears to be mediated by 5-HT1A receptors, based on relative agonist and antagonist selectivity. Chronic exposure of cultures to morphine results in enhanced basal and forskolin-stimulated AC as well as attenuation of opioid-inhibition of AC assayed in the presence of forskolin; treatment of explants with pertussis toxin causes similar changes in the AC system. The inhibitory effect of serotonin is also attenuated by the pertussis toxin treatment. Basal AC activity of the explants (assayed without forskolin present) is stimulated to a small but significant extent by opioids and by serotonin. The opioid stimulatory effect is markedly enhanced following either morphine or pertussis toxin treatment of the explants. The attenuation of opioid- and serotonin-inhibition of AC produced by chronic exposure to pertussis toxin and the attenuation of opioid inhibition produced by exposure to morphine are consonant with the attenuation of opioid and monoaminergic depression of sensory evoked dorsal horn network responses after similar chronic treatments. It is proposed that the inhibitory effects of opioids and serotonin on these neurons are mediated by receptors that are negatively coupled via a pertussis toxin sensitive Gi protein to AC. Furthermore, alterations of AC with chronic morphine treatment may be involved in the development of physiologic tolerance to opioids.

Incubation of SH-SY5Y neural cells with mycophenolic acid (MPA), an inhibitor of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (the key enzyme in purine nucleotide biosynthesis), reduced the cellular content of GTP by 94% relative to its concentration in control cells (43 nmol/mg protein) without altering the level of GDP. Although in GTP-depleted intact cells the receptor binding parameters (Kd and Bmax) of the opioid antagonist [3H]naltrexone were unchanged from those in untreated cells, the binding affinity of the mu-selective opioid agonist [3H]Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-(Me)- Phe-Gly-ol ([3H]DAMGO) was enhanced 2-fold. Furthermore, the kinetics of ligand/receptor interaction revealed that in the nucleotide-depleted cells, the dissociation rate constant for [3H]DAMGO was reduced by 44%. Initial exposure of SH-SY5Y cells to pertussis toxin reduced high-affinity ligand binding by 95% and abolished the effect of MPA treatment. Renewed incubation of the GTP-depleted cells with guanosine restored the original GTP levels and agonist binding. Neither MPA nor guanosine treatment changed the Bmax of [3H]DAMGO binding. Forskolin- and prostaglandin E1-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activities were decreased significantly in GTP-depleted cells. DAMGO and [D-Pen2,D-Pen5]enkephalin inhibitions of adenylyl cyclase were also affected with MPA treatment. Maximal inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity by both of the agonists was reduced, whereas MPA caused a 2-fold reduction in potency for DAMGO. The results show that reduction in endogenous GTP levels leads to noticeable changes in agonist, receptor, and G protein interactions, as measured by agonist binding, and to subsequent diminution of the signal transduction, as reflected by the cAMP levels.

In membranes from SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells differentiated with retinoic acid, the mu-selective agonist Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-N-Me-Phe-Gly-ol (DAMGO) inhibited cAMP formation with an IC50 of 26 nM. Two separate antibodies raised against distinct regions of the Go alpha sequence attenuated the effect of DAMGO by 50-60%, whereas antibodies to Gi alpha 1,2 or Gi alpha 3 reduced the mu-opioid signal insignificantly or to a lesser extent. In contrast, inhibition of adenylyl cyclase by the delta-opioid agonist Tyr-D-Pen-Gly-Phe-D-Pen-OH (DPDPE; Pen = penicillamine) was very sensitive to the Gi alpha 1,2 antibody. In membranes from rat brain striatum, coupling of the mu opioid receptor to adenylyl cyclase was also maximally blocked by antibodies to Go alpha. After long-term treatment of the cells with DAMGO, the content of Go alpha was reduced by 26%, whereas the levels of Gi alpha 1,2, Gi alpha 3, and Gs alpha were unaltered. Addition of Go, purified from bovine brain, to membranes from pertussis toxin-treated SH-SY5Y cells restored the inhibition of adenylyl cyclase by DAMGO to 70% of that in toxin-untreated cells. To comparably restore the effect of DPDPE, much higher concentrations of Go were required. By demonstrating mediation of cAMP-dependent signal transduction by Go, these results describe (i) an additional role for this G protein present at a high concentration in brain, (ii) preferential, although not exclusive, interaction of mu and delta opioid receptors with different G protein subtypes in coupling to adenylyl cyclase, and (iii) reduced levels of Go following chronic opioid treatment of SH-SY5Y cells with mu opioids.

In differentiated SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells, various opioids exhibited a wide range of potencies (Ki) in acutely inhibiting adenylate cyclase to different extents (Imax). After exposure of the cells to opioids for 24 hr, the initially reduced cAMP content of the cells recovered toward pre-exposure levels. Withdrawal of agonist from, or addition of antagonist to, the tolerant cells rapidly increased the cAMP content to 1.5 times the basal value. Long term treatment of the cells with agonists of high acute potency, such as Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-(Me)Phe-Gly-ol and levorphanol, decreased the Bmax of the antagonist [3H]naltrexone by 80-95%, increased the Ks for GTPase stimulation 10-14-fold, and increased the Ki for adenylate cyclase inhibition 2-3-fold. On the other hand, these parameters were only marginally affected by agonists of lower acute potency, such as profadol and morphiceptin, regardless of their Imax in inhibiting adenylate cyclase. The reduction in the level of receptor binding was experimentally not dissociable from effector desensitization. Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-(Me)Phe-Gly-ol retained the characteristics of a potent agonist in inducing tolerance even under conditions of submaximal signal, produced by lower concentrations of the peptide or by pretreatment with pertussis toxin. Alkylation of receptors by beta-chlornaltrexamine, although it reduced [3H]naltrexone binding by 50%, did not significantly alter the rank order of opioid agonists based on their ability to acutely inhibit adenylate cyclase. These results show that in opioid-tolerant SH-SY5Y cells the concurrently occurring down-regulation of receptor and shifts in the concentration dependence of effector response correlate with the potency of a given opioid in producing its acute effect but not with the maximum extent of that effect.
