Abstract:
:In previous studies, we have shown that opioid agonists ([D-Ala2, D-Leu5]enkephalin (DADLE), [D-Ser2, Leu5]enkephalin-Thr6 (DSLET), ethylketocyclazocine and etorphine) bind to opioid binding sites and decrease cell proliferation of human T47D breast cancer cells. Furthermore, we provided evidence about a cross-reaction, also in the T47D human breast cancer cell line, of mu-acting opioids with type-II somatostatin receptors. Since a potential source of opioid activity in the breast might be casomorphin peptides (produced by the enzymatic degradation of alpha-casein and beta-casein), we investigated the antiproliferative action of five different casomorphin peptides: alpha-casein-(90-95), alpha-casein-(90-96), beta-casomorphin, beta-casomorphin-(1-5) and morphiceptin. We show that all five peptides decreased, in a dose-dependent manner, cell proliferation. The general antagonist diprenorphine produced only a partial reversal of their action. Furthermore, we provide evidence that all peptides (except for morphiceptin) bind to delta- and kappa-opioid binding sites of T47D cells with different selectivity. Finally, we show that these peptides are also partial competitors at the somatostatin receptors present in the same cell line.
