Popis: Opiates impair neutrophil-mediated host defense, but the involvement of κ-opioid receptors in this action has not been defined. The selective κ-opioid receptor agonist [ trans -(+)3,4-dichloro- N -methyl- N [2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-cyclohexyl]benzeneacetamide methanesulfonate inhibited macrophage inflammatory protein-2-induced chemotaxis of bone marrow neutrophils from C57BL/6 mice. Its effects were concentration-dependent ( p IC 50 =10.40±0.61) and inhibited by naloxone ( K e =0.27 nM). The κ-opioid receptor agonists bremazocine and ICI-204, 488 also inhibited chemotaxis, as did the respective μ- and δ-opioid receptor agonists [ d -Ala 2 , N -methyl-Phe 4 , Gly 5 -ol]enkephalin and [ d -Pen 2,5 ]enkephalin albeit with lower potencies. U-50,488H also decreased neutrophil expression of the β 2 integrin CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1) and adhesion to plastic in a naloxone-reversible manner. The results indicate that κ-opioid receptors expressed by neutrophils rapidly modulate chemotaxis and adhesion in vitro.
