Herein the effect of hippocampal orexin type-1 receptors (OX1Rs) blockade on morphine withdrawal syndrome was studied. Animals were made dependent by subcutaneous (s.c.) administration of morphine sulfate (10mg/kg) at an interval of 12h for 9 consecutive days. Thereafter, on day 10, naloxone hydrochloride (1.5mg/kg, i.p.) was injected and the somatic signs of withdrawal syndrome were monitored during a 25-min period. Two groups of animals received bilateral microinjection of either SB-334867, a selective OX1Rs antagonist, (0.5μg/0.5μl), or its vehicle into the dorsal hippocampus immediately before each morphine injection. Other groups of animals were made dependent at first and only received a single microinjection of SB-334867 or vehicle on day 10 before naloxone injection. The results showed that intra-hippocampal microinjection of SB-334867 before each morphine treatment, significantly decreased the signs of morphine withdrawal, including teeth chattering (dependent: 18.5±2.3, SB treated: 5±1, p<0.001), diarrhea (dependent: 8.7±0.6, SB treated: 4.1±0.6, p<0.001), ptosis (dependent: 33.8±3.7, SB treated: 11.6±1.1, p<0.001), and chewing (dependent: 40±2.3, SB treated: 29±2.4, p<0.01). SB-334867 did not attenuate withdrawal syndrome, when it was microinjected as a single dose immediately before naloxone injection. The present results suggest a role for orexin in naloxone-precipitated withdrawal and thus possibly morphine dependence and this effect is, at least in part, via OX1Rs in the dorsal hippocampus.
本文研究了海马1型食欲素受体(OX1Rs)阻断对吗啡戒断综合征的影响。通过连续9天每隔12小时皮下注射硫酸吗啡(10mg/kg)使动物产生依赖性。此后,在第10天,注射盐酸纳洛酮(1.5mg/kg,腹腔注射),并在25分钟内监测戒断综合征的躯体症状。两组动物在每次吗啡注射前立即将选择性OX1Rs拮抗剂SB - 334867(0.5μg/0.5μl)或其溶媒双侧微量注射到背侧海马。其他组动物首先产生依赖性,仅在第10天纳洛酮注射前接受单次SB - 334867或溶媒微量注射。结果显示,每次吗啡治疗前海马内微量注射SB - 334867,可显著减轻吗啡戒断症状,包括牙齿打颤(依赖组:18.5±2.3,SB治疗组:5±1,p<0.001)、腹泻(依赖组:8.7±0.6,SB治疗组:4.1±0.6,p<0.001)、眼睑下垂(依赖组:33.8±3.7,SB治疗组:11.6±1.1,p<0.001)和咀嚼(依赖组:40±2.3,SB治疗组:29±2.4,p<0.
