Dual regulation by opioids of 3H-norepinephrine release in the human neuroblastoma cell-line SK-N-SH

Depolarization-evoked 3H-norepinephrine release from SK-N-SH cells was found to be regulated by opioid ligands. Opioids excerted either inhibition or augmentation of 3H-norepinephrine release. Both effects were mediated by opioid receptors. In addition, a nonopioid inhibitory effect of opiates on re...

Zusammenfassung:Depolarization-evoked 3H-norepinephrine release from SK-N-SH cells was found to be regulated by opioid ligands. Opioids excerted either inhibition or augmentation of 3H-norepinephrine release. Both effects were mediated by opioid receptors. In addition, a nonopioid inhibitory effect of opiates on release was observed. The SK-N-SH cell-line provides a suitable model for studying the various mechanisms underlying the opioid regulatory pathways within single cells.
