http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/19682558http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"Pertussis toxin (PTX) treatment results in ADP-ribosylation of Gi-protein and thus in disruption of mu-opioid receptor signal transduction and loss of the antinociceptive effect of morphine. We have previously demonstrated that pretreatment with ultra-low dose naloxone preserves the antinociceptive effect of morphine in PTX-treated rats. The present study further examined the effect of ultra-low dose naloxone on mu-opioid receptor signaling in PTX-treated rats and the underlying mechanism. Male Wistar rats implanted with an intrathecal catheter received an intrathecal injection of saline or PTX (1 microg in 5 microl of saline), then, 4 days later, were pretreated by intrathecal injection with either saline or ultra-low dose naloxone (15 ng in 5 microl of saline), followed, 30 min later, by saline or morphine (10 microg in 5 microl of saline). Four days after PTX injection, thermal hyperalgesia was observed, together with increased coupling of excitatory Gs-protein to mu-opioid receptors in the spinal cord. Ultra-low dose naloxone pretreatment preserved the antinociceptive effect of morphine, and this effect was completely blocked by the mu-opioid receptor antagonist CTOP, but not by the kappa-opioid receptor antagonist nor-BNI or the delta-opioid receptor antagonist naltrindole. Moreover, a co-immunoprecipitation study showed that ultra-low dose naloxone restored mu-opioid receptor/Gi-protein coupling and inhibited the PTX-induced mu-opioid receptor/Gs-protein coupling. In addition to the anti-neuroinflammatory effect and glutamate transporter modulation previously observed in PTX-treated rats, the re-establishment of mu-opioid receptor Gi/Go-protein coupling is involved in the restoration of the antinociceptive effect of morphine by ultra-low dose naloxone pretreatment by normalizing the balance between the excitatory and inhibitory signaling pathways. These results show that ultra-low dose naloxone preserves the antinociceptive effect of morphine, suppresses spinal neuroinflammation, and reduces PTX-elevated excitatory Gs-coupled opioid receptors in PTX-treated rats. We suggest that ultra-low dose naloxone might be clinically valuable in pain management."xsd:string
