Distributions of mu- and kappa-opioid receptor mRNAs in the lumbar spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia of the adult rat were examined using the in situ hybridization technique. In the lumbar spinal cord, mu-opioid receptor mRNA was expressed intensely in laminae I, II and VIII. On the other hand, kappa-opioid receptor mRNA was expressed intensely in laminae I and II, and moderately throughout laminae III-VIII. In the dorsal root ganglia, mu-opioid receptor mRNA was intensely expressed and kappa-opioid receptor mRNA was expressed in a smaller number of cells than mu-opioid receptor mRNA.
采用原位杂交技术检测成年大鼠腰段脊髓和背根神经节中μ-阿片受体和κ-阿片受体mRNA的分布。在腰段脊髓中,μ-阿片受体mRNA在I、II和VIII层强烈表达。另一方面,κ-阿片受体mRNA在I和II层强烈表达,在III-VIII层中度表达。在背根神经节中,μ-阿片受体mRNA强烈表达,κ-阿片受体mRNA表达的细胞数量少于μ-阿片受体mRNA。
