Abstract

The mechanism by which opiates affect fetal development is unknown, but one potential target is the programmed cell death (apoptosis) pathway of neurons. Apoptosis was induced in both primary neuronal cultures from embryonic day 7 cerebral hemispheres of chick brain (E7CH) and the F-11kappa7 cell line (an immortalized mouse neuroblastoma x dorsal root ganglion hybrid stably transfected to overexpress kappa-opioid receptors) by either staurosporine or the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitors wortmannin and LY294002. Cells pretreated with either the mu-specific opioid agonist morphiceptin (E7CH) or the kappa-specific opioid agonist U69,593 (F-11kappa7) for 24 h showed increased apoptosis in response to staurosporine or wortmannin when compared with non-pretreated cells. The effects of morphiceptin and U69,593 were time- and dose-dependent and antagonist-reversible, suggesting that they were receptor-mediated. Neither morphiceptin nor U69,593 by themselves had any measurable effect on cell viability or DNA fragmentation, and coaddition of opiates at the same time as staurosporine, wortmannin, or LY294002 did not enhance apoptosis. Time course studies indicated a maximal opioid effect at a time (16-24 h) when inhibition of aden...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
