Article Title: | Enhanced κ-opioid receptor-mediated analgesia by antisense targeting the σ(1) receptor |
Abstract: | In the current study, we used an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide targeting the recently cloned σ1 receptor to assess its functions within the nervous system. σ1 antagonists potentiate the analgesic actions of opioids. Similarly, the antisense probe targeting the σ1 receptor enhanced the analgesic activity of the κ1-opioid receptor agonist U50,488H (trans-3,4-dichloro-N-[2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)cyclohexyl]benzeacetamidel) and the κ3-opioid receptor agonist naloxone benzoylhydrazone. A mismatch control was inactive. These results confirm the role of σ1 receptors in an anti-opioid analgesic system and illustrate the utility of antisense approaches towards the elucidation of σ receptor functions. |
