PG - 137-42 AB - Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of phospholipase C inhibitors and structurally dissimilar PKC inhibitors were shown to completely reverse morphine antinociceptive tolerance in mice. Since Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlu(1) and mGlu(5)) activate phospholipase C through Galpha(q) Galpha(11) proteins, we hypothesized that morphine tolerance could occur through an increase in mGlu(1) and mGlu(5) receptor stimulation. Seventy-two hours after implantation of placebo or 75 mg morphine pellets, mice were tested in the 56 degrees C warm-water tail-withdrawal test following i.c.v. injection of vehicle or test drug. The mGlu(1) receptor antagonist CPCCOEt (7-(Hydroxyimino)cyclopropa[b]chromen-1a-carboxylate ethyl ester) partly but significantly reversed morphine tolerance. The mGlu(5) receptor antagonist MPEP (2-Methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)pyridine hydrochloride) also partly reversed the antinociceptive tolerance. Co-administering CPCCOEt with MPEP completely reversed the tolerance. Furthermore, the mixed mGlu(1)/mGlu(5) antagonist AIDA ((RS)-1-Aminoindan-1,5-dicarboxylic acid) also completely reversed the tolerance. Thus, greater mGlu(1) and mGlu(5) receptor stimulation during morphine tolerance may lead to persistent activation of the phosphatidylinositol cascade.
