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.

S-Nitroso-L-Cysteine Stereoselectively Blunts the Deleterious Effects of Fentanyl on Breathing While Augmenting Antinociception in Freely-Moving Rats. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:892307. [PMID: 35721204 PMCID: PMC9199495 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.892307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Endogenous and exogenously administered S-nitrosothiols modulate the activities of central and peripheral systems that control breathing. We have unpublished data showing that the deleterious effects of morphine on arterial blood-gas chemistry (i.e., pH, pCO2, pO2, and sO2) and Alveolar-arterial gradient (i.e., index of gas exchange) were markedly diminished in anesthetized Sprague Dawley rats that received a continuous intravenous infusion of the endogenous S-nitrosothiol, S-nitroso-L-cysteine. The present study extends these findings by showing that unanesthetized adult male Sprague Dawley rats receiving an intravenous infusion of S-nitroso-L-cysteine (100 or 200 nmol/kg/min) markedly diminished the ability of intravenous injections of the potent synthetic opioid, fentanyl (10, 25, and 50 μg/kg), to depress the frequency of breathing, tidal volume, and minute ventilation. Our study also found that the ability of intravenously injected fentanyl (10, 25, and 50 μg/kg) to disturb eupneic breathing, which was measured as a marked increase of the non-eupneic breathing index, was substantially reduced in unanesthetized rats receiving intravenous infusions of S-nitroso-L-cysteine (100 or 200 nmol/kg/min). In contrast, the deleterious effects of fentanyl (10, 25, and 50 μg/kg) on frequency of breathing, tidal volume, minute ventilation and non-eupneic breathing index were fully expressed in rats receiving continuous infusions (200 nmol/kg/min) of the parent amino acid, L-cysteine, or the D-isomer, namely, S-nitroso-D-cysteine. In addition, the antinociceptive actions of the above doses of fentanyl as monitored by the tail-flick latency assay, were enhanced by S-nitroso-L-cysteine, but not L-cysteine or S-nitroso-D-cysteine. Taken together, these findings add to existing knowledge that S-nitroso-L-cysteine stereoselectively modulates the detrimental effects of opioids on breathing, and opens the door for mechanistic studies designed to establish whether the pharmacological actions of S-nitroso-L-cysteine involve signaling processes that include 1) the activation of plasma membrane ion channels and receptors, 2) selective intracellular entry of S-nitroso-L-cysteine, and/or 3) S-nitrosylation events. Whether alterations in the bioavailability and bioactivity of endogenous S-nitroso-L-cysteine is a key factor in determining the potency/efficacy of fentanyl on breathing is an intriguing question.

Abstract
There is an urgent need to understand the intracellular mechanisms by which synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, depress breathing. We used L-NAME (NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester), a nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, to provide evidence for a role of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrosyl factors, including S-nitrosothiols, in fentanyl-induced suppression of breathing in rats. We measured breathing parameters using unrestrained plethysmography to record the changes produced by bolus administration of fentanyl (25 μg/kg, IV) in male Sprague Dawley rats that were pretreated with vehicle (saline), L-NAME (50 μmol/kg, IV) or the inactive D-isomer, D-NAME (50 μmol/kg, IV), 15 min previously. L-NAME produced a series of ventilatory changes that included (i) sustained elevations in breathing frequency, due to the reductions in the durations of inspiration and expiration, (ii) sustained elevations in minute ventilation, accompanied by minimal changes in tidal volume, and (iii) increases in inspiratory drive and expiratory drive, and peak inspiratory flow and peak expiratory flow. Subsequent administration of fentanyl in rats pretreated with vehicle produced negative effects on breathing, including decreases in frequency, tidal volume and therefore minute ventilation. Fentanyl elicited markedly different responses in rats that were pretreated with L-NAME, and conclusively, the negative effects of fentanyl were augmented by the NOS inhibitor. D-NAME did not alter ventilatory parameters or modulate the effects of fentanyl on breathing. Our study fully characterized the effects of L-NAME on ventilation in rats and is the first to suggest a potential role of nitrosyl factors in the ventilatory responses to fentanyl. Our data shows that nitrosyl factors reduce the expression of fentanyl-induced changes in ventilation.

Abstract
There is now substantial evidence that myocardial ischemia‑reperfusion (IR) injury affects the spinal cord and brain, and that interactions may exist between these two systems. In the present study, the spinal cord proteomes were systematically analyzed after myocardial IR injury, in an attempt to identify the proteins involved in the processes. The myocardial IR injury rat model was first established by cross clamping the left anterior descending coronary artery for 30‑min ischemia, followed by reperfusion for 2 h, which resulted in a significant histopathological and functional myocardial injury. Then using the stable isotope dimethyl labeling quantitative proteomics strategy, a total of 2,362 shared proteins with a good distribution and correlation were successfully quantified. Among these proteins, 33 were identified which were upregulated and 57 were downregulated in the spinal cord after myocardial IR injury, which were involved in various biological processes, molecular function and cellular components. Based on these proteins, the spinal cord protein interaction network regulated by IR injury, including apoptosis, microtubule dynamics, stress‑activated signaling and cellular metabolism was established. These heart‑spinal cord interactions help explain the apparent randomness of cardiac events and provide new insights into future novel therapies to prevent myocardial I/R injury.

Abstract
The opioid receptor family, with associated endogenous ligands, has numerous roles throughout the body. Moreover, the delta opioid receptor (DORs) has various integrated roles within the physiological systems, including the cardiovascular system. While DORs are important modulators of cardiovascular autonomic balance, they are well-established contributors to cardioprotective mechanisms. Both endogenous and exogenous opioids acting upon DORs have roles in myocardial hibernation and protection against ischaemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury. Downstream signalling mechanisms governing protective responses alternate, depending on the timing and duration of DOR activation. The following review describes models and mechanisms of DOR-mediated cardioprotection, the impact of co-morbidities and challenges for clinical translation.

Abstract
Long non-coding (lncRNA) MALAT1 can be increased by hypoxia or ischemic limbs. Also, downregulation of MALAT1 contributes to reduction of cardiomyocyte apoptosis. However, the functional involvement of MALAT1 in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury has not been defined. This study investigated the functional involvement of lncRNA-MALAT1 in cardioprotective effects of fentanyl. HL-1, a cardiac muscle cell line from the AT-1 mouse atrial cardiomyocyte tumor lineage was pre-treated with fentanyl and generated cell model of hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R). Relative expression of MALAT1, miR-145, and Bnip3 mRNA in cells was determined by quantitative real-time PCR. Cardiomyocyte H/R injury was indicated by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and cell apoptosis. The results showed that fentanyl abrogates expression of responsive gene for H/R and induces downregulation of MALAT1 and Bnip3 and upregulation of miR-145. We found that miR-145/Bnip3 pathway was negatively regulated by MALAT1 in H/R-HL-1 cell with or without fentanyl treatment. Moreover, both MALAT1 overexpression and miR-145 knockdown reverse cardioprotective effects of fentanyl, as indicated by increase in LDH release and cell apoptosis. The reversal effect of MALAT1 for fentanyl is confirmed in cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) mice. In summary, lncRNA-MALAT1 is sensitive to H/R injury and abrogates cardioprotective effects of Fentanyl by negatively regulating miR-145/Bnip3 pathway.

Abstract
It has now been demonstrated that the μ, δ1 , δ2 , and κ1 opioid receptor (OR) agonists represent the most promising group of opioids for the creation of drugs enhancing cardiac tolerance to the detrimental effects of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Opioids are able to prevent necrosis and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes during I/R and improve cardiac contractility in the reperfusion period. The OR agonists exert an infarct-reducing effect with prophylactic administration and prevent reperfusion-induced cardiomyocyte death when ischemic injury of heart has already occurred; that is, opioids can mimic preconditioning and postconditioning phenomena. Furthermore, opioids are also effective in preventing ischemia-induced arrhythmias.

Abstract
Morphine has been widely used as rescue treatment for heart attack and failure in humans for many decades. Relatively little has been known about the role of spinal opioid receptors in morphine cardioprotection. Recent studies have shown that intrathecal injection of morphine can reduce the heart injury caused by ischemia (I)/reperfusion (R) in rats. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying intrathecal morphine cardioprotection has not been determined. Here, we report that intrathecal morphine postconditioning (IMPOC) rescued mean artery pressure (MAP) and reduced myocardial injury in I/R. Pretreatment with either naloxone (NAL), a selective mu-opioid receptor antagonist, or nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors via intrathecal delivery completely abolished IMPOC cardioprotection, suggesting that the spinal mu-opioid receptor and its downstream NOS signaling pathway are involved in the mechanism of the morphine-induced effect. Consistent with this, IMPOC significantly enhanced spinal neural NOS phosphorylation, nitric oxide, and cGMP content in a similar time course. Intrathecal application of 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one, a specific inhibitor of guanylate cyclase, completely ablated IMPOC-induced enhancement of cardioprotection and spinal cGMP content. IMPOC rescue of MAP and ischemic injury is correlated with IMPOC enhancement of NOS signaling. Collectively, these findings strengthen the concept of spinal mu-opioid receptors as a therapeutic target that mediates morphine-induced cardioprotection. We also provide evidence suggesting that the activation of spinal NOS signaling is essential for morphine cardioprotection.

Abstract
Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) remains a major cause of morbidity/mortality globally, firmly established in Westernized or 'developed' countries and rising in prevalence in developing nations. Thus, cardioprotective therapies to limit myocardial damage with associated ischaemia-reperfusion (I-R), during infarction or surgical ischaemia, is a very important, although still elusive, clinical goal. The opioid receptor system, encompassing the δ (vas deferens), κ (ketocyclazocine) and μ (morphine) opioid receptors and their endogenous opioid ligands (endorphins, dynorphins, enkephalins), appears as a logical candidate for such exploitation. This regulatory system may orchestrate organism and organ responses to stress, induces mammalian hibernation and associated metabolic protection, triggers powerful adaptive stress resistance in response to ischaemia/hypoxia (preconditioning), and mediates cardiac benefit stemming from physical activity. In addition to direct myocardial actions, central opioid receptor signalling may also enhance the ability of the heart to withstand I-R injury. The δ- and κ-opioid receptors are strongly implicated in cardioprotection across models and species (including anti-infarct and anti-arrhythmic actions), with mixed evidence for μ opioid receptor-dependent protection in animal and human tissues. A small number of clinical trials have provided evidence of cardiac benefit from morphine or remifentanil in cardiopulmonary bypass or coronary angioplasty patients, although further trials of subtype-specific opioid receptor agonists are needed. The precise roles and utility of this GPCR family in healthy and diseased human myocardium, and in mediating central and peripheral survival responses, warrant further investigation, as do the putative negative influences of ageing, IHD co-morbidities, and relevant drugs on opioid receptor signalling and protective responses.

J Surg Res 2014; 193:43-51. [PMID: 25214258 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2014.08.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2014] [Revised: 07/22/2014] [Accepted: 08/08/2014] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Remote intrathecal morphine preconditioning (RMPC) induces cardioprotection, but the underlying mechanisms of this effect is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of spinal cord nitric oxide/cyclic guanosine monophosphate/protein kinase G (NO/cGMP/PKG) signal pathway in the cardioprotection of RMPC in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Anesthetized, open chest, male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to one of eight treatment groups 3 d after intrathecal catheter placement. Before ischemia and reperfusion, RMPC received intrathecal morphine (3 μg/kg) by three cycles of 5-min infusions interspersed with 5-min infusion free periods. Intrathecally administrated a nonspecific nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor Nω-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (30 nmol), a specific guanylate cyclase inhibitor oxadiazolo [4,3-a] quinoxalin-1-one (11 nmol) and PKG inhibitor KT-5823 (20 pmol) 10 min before RMPC was used to evaluate the role of NO/cGMP/PKG of spinal cord. Ischemia and reperfusion injury were then induced by 30 min of left coronary artery occlusion, followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Infarct size, as a percentage of the area at risk, was determined by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium staining. The content of cyclic guanosine monophosphate in the thoracic spinal cord was determined by radioimmunity protocol; the contents of nitric oxide and activity of NOS in the thoracic spinal cord were determined by nitrate reductase reduction and colorimetric methods; the expression of neuronal NOS (nNOS) and PKG in the thoracic spinal cord were determined by immunohistochemical and Western blotting method; the expression of nNOS messenger RNA was determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction method. RESULTS RMPC group markedly reduced the infarct size compared with the control group. However, the cardioprotection of RMPC could be abolished by pretreatment with Nω-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, Oxadiazolo [4,3-a] quinoxalin-1-one, and KT-5823. RMPC enhanced nitric oxide , NOS, and cyclic guanosine monophosphate levels in the spinal cord. Meanwhile, RMPC increased PKG and nNOS protein or messenger RNA expression in the spinal cord. CONCLUSIONS Spinal cord NO/cGMP/PKG signaling pathway mediates RMPC-induced cardioprotective effect.

Abstract
Cholesterol-rich caveolar microdomains and associated caveolins influence sarcolemmal ion channel and receptor function and protective stress signaling. However, the importance of membrane cholesterol content to cardiovascular function and myocardial responses to ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) and cardioprotective stimuli are unclear. We assessed the effects of graded cholesterol depletion with methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) and lifelong knockout (KO) or overexpression (OE) of caveolin-3 (Cav-3) on cardiac function, I/R tolerance, and opioid receptor (OR)-mediated protection. Langendorff-perfused hearts from young male C57Bl/6 mice were untreated or treated with 0.02-1.0 mM MβCD for 25 min to deplete membrane cholesterol and disrupt caveolae. Hearts were subjected to 25-min ischemia/45-min reperfusion, and the cardioprotective effects of morphine applied either acutely or chronically [sustained ligand-activated preconditioning (SLP)] were assessed. MβCD concentration dependently reduced normoxic contractile function and postischemic outcomes in association with graded (10-30%) reductions in sarcolemmal cholesterol. Cardioprotection with acute morphine was abolished with ≥20 μM MβCD, whereas SLP was more robust and only inhibited with ≥200 μM MβCD. Deletion of Cav-3 also reduced, whereas Cav-3 OE improved, myocardial I/R tolerance. Protection via SLP remained equally effective in Cav-3 KO mice and was additive with innate protection arising with Cav-3 OE. These data reveal the membrane cholesterol dependence of normoxic myocardial and coronary function, I/R tolerance, and OR-mediated cardioprotection in murine hearts (all declining with cholesterol depletion). In contrast, baseline function appears insensitive to Cav-3, whereas cardiac I/R tolerance parallels Cav-3 expression. Novel SLP appears unique, being less sensitive to cholesterol depletion than acute OR protection and arising independently of Cav-3 expression.
