Abstract

BACKGROUND: The opioid system was mainly involved three types of opioid receptors (ORs): μ (MOR), δ (DOR) and κ (KOR). These ORs are activated by its agonist, a family of endogenous peptides: Endorphins, enkephalins, and dynorphins, respectively.

AIM: This study determined the OR mRNA on effects of agonists exogenous morphine, fentanyl, D-penicillamine (2,5) enkephalin, and ketazocine in HL-1 mouse cardiac myocytes.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: HL-1 mouse cardiac myocytes were treated with 10 μM morphine sulfate, 1 μM fentanyl,1 μM D-penicillamine (2,5) enkephalin, and 1 μM ketazocine. Total mRNAs were extracted and cDNA was synthesized and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze gene expression.

RESULTS: The data analysis of MOR, DOR and KOR mRNA expression on effect of morphine was shown less level than control (0.61-fold, 0.67-fold, and 0.65-fold), respectively. The morphine-induced ORs down-regulation, whereas enkephalin treatment demonstrated highly significantly increased in mRNA of DOR (6.3-fold, p = 0.002). As well as, KOR mRNA expression was found highly significant increased under effect of Ketazocine (7.16-fold, p = 0.004).

CONCLUSION: This study found DOR and KOR, but not MOR expressed in HL-1 mouse cardiac myocytes under activation of exogenous opioid analogists. These findings suggested that exogenous analogist’s opioids mimeses the endogenous analogist’s opioids.
