Several studies using selective opioid agonists or mice with a deletion
of the µ-opioid receptor, have shown that morphine dependence is
essentially due to chronic stimulation of µ- but not
-opioid
receptors. Because dependence is assumed to be related to persistent
intracellular modifications, we have investigated modifications
putatively induced by chronic activation of µ receptors with morphine
or selective agonists in vitro in SH-SY5Y cells and in vivo in
different strains of mice, including mice lacking the µ-opioid
receptor gene. The results show a similar down-regulation and
desensitization of µ and
binding sites, whereas an overexpression of dynamin occurred only with µ agonists, strongly suggesting the
relevance of this up-regulation with the opiate dependence. Moreover,
translocation of overexpressed dynamin from intracellular pools to
plasma membranes was observed in chronic morphine-treated rats. This
recruitment could be critically involved in long-lasting changes such
as alterations of axonal transport observed in opioid dependence.
