摘要：

Much evidence supports the hypothesis that A(2A) adenosine receptors play an important role in the expression of morphine withdrawal and that the dopaminergic system might also be involved. We have evaluated morphine withdrawal signs in wild-type and A(2A) receptor knockout mice and shown a significant enhancement in some withdrawal signs in the knockout mice. In addition, g-opioid and dopamine D-2 receptor auto radiography, as well as mu-opioid receptor-stimulated guanylyl 5'-[gamma-[S-35]thio]-triphosphate ([S-35]GTPgammaS) autoradiography was carried out in brain sections of withdrawn wild-type and knockout mice. No significant changes in D-2 and mu-opioid receptor binding were observed in any of the brain regions analysed. However, a significant increase in the level of mu receptor-stimulated [S-35]GTPgammaS binding was observed in the nucleus accumbens of withdrawn knockout mice. These data indicate that the A(2A) receptor plays a role in opioid withdrawal related to functional receptor activation.
