摘要

Treatment of SK-N-SH cells with morphine and interleukin-1beta (IL-1 beta) produced dual regulation of the mRNA for the human mu opioid receptor (MOR) protein. Morphine produced a decrease in the MOR mRNA while IL-1 beta increased it, as assessed by real-time quantitative PCR These data were consistent with immunocytochemical studies of treated and untreated cells. Morphine-mediated down-regulation of MOR was blocked by naltrexone and IL-1 beta-induced up-regulation of MOR was blocked by interleukin-1 receptor type 1 antagonist. Immune-opioid crosstalk was examined by IL-1 beta and morphine co-treatment. These data are the first to show dual regulation of MOR in neuroblastoma cells.
