Abstract:
:Intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.)-administered [D-Ala2]deltorphin II (20 micrograms) produced a marked locomotor hyperactivity in male ICR mice. The locomotor hyperactivity induced in response to i.c.v. [D-Ala2]deltorphin II (20 micrograms) was suppressed by pretreatment with naltriben (NTB, 10 micrograms) but not 7-benzylidene naltrexone (BNTX, 1 microgram) and D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Try-Orn-Thr-Phe-Thr-NH2 (CTOP, 100 ng). The influence of antisense oligodeoxynucleotide to delta-opioid receptor mRNA (delta-AS oligo) or a mismatch oligodeoxynucleotide (MM oligo) on the locomotor hyperactivity induced by [D-Ala2]deltorphin II was determined. Groups of mice pretreated i.c.v. with delta-AS oligo (1 microgram), MM oligo (1 microgram) or saline (4 microliters) once a day for 3 days, were injected i.c.v. [D-Ala2]deltorphin II (10 or 20 micrograms) and the locomotor response to [D-Ala2]deltorphin II was measured. The locomotor hyperactivity of i.c.v. [D-Ala2]deltorphin II (10 or 20 micrograms) were significantly suppressed by i.c.v. pretreatment with delta-AS oligo but not MM oligo. The present results indicate that pretreatment with delta-AS oligo suppresses mouse locomotor hyperactivity produced by stimulation of delta 2-opioid receptors in the brain.
