Inhibition by endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2 of excitatory transmission in adult rat substantia gelatinosa neurons.

Abstract:

:Intrathecally-administered endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2 produce antinociceptive effects which are different from each other. In order to elucidate a cellular basis for this result, we examined the effects of endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2 on holding currents and spontaneous glutamatergic excitatory transmission in substantia gelatinosa neurons of adult rat spinal cord slices by use of the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. In about half of the neurons examined, endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2 produced an outward current having a similar amplitude (25-27 pA at 1 microM) at -70 mV with almost the same value of effective concentration producing half-maximal response (0.19-0.21 microM). Both of them reversed at a potential close to the equilibrium potential for K+, and had the slope conductance that was larger at negative (-120 to -140 mV) than positive potentials (-60 to -90 mV). The endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2 currents were reduced in amplitude by K+-channel inhibitors, Ba2+ (100 microM) and 4-aminopyridine (1 mM), and also by mu-opioid receptor antagonist D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Arg-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH2 (1 microM) to a similar extent. The endomorphin-2 but not endomorphin-1 current amplitude was increased by dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor diprotin A (30 microM). One micromolar endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2 reduced the frequency of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic current with a similar time course and extent without altering its amplitude; these actions were not in the presence of D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Arg-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH2 (1 microM). We conclude that endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2 hyperpolarize membranes by opening inwardly-rectifying K+ channels and attenuate the spontaneous release of L-glutamate from nerve terminals in the substantia gelatinosa, both of which are mediated by mu-opioid receptors, in a manner quantitatively similar to each other. The difference in antinociceptive effects between endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2 could not be attributed to a distinction in their effects on excitatory transmission in substantia gelatinosa neurons, and may be explained by a difference in their enzymatic degradation.
