The aim of this study was to assess the function of DOR phosphorylation by Cdk5 in complete Freund＇s adjuvant （CFA）-induced inflammatory pain and morphine tolerance. Methods Dorsal root ganglion （DRG） neurons of rats with CFA-induced in- flammatory pain were acutely dissociated and the biotinylation method was used to explore the membrane localization of phosphorylated DOR at Thr-161 （pThr-161-DOR）, and paw withdrawal latency was measured after intrathecal delivery of drugs or Tat-peptide, using a radiant heat stimulator in rats with CFA-induced inflammatory pain. Results Both the total amount and the surface localization of pThr-161-DOR were significantly enhanced in the ipsilateral DRG following CFA injection. lntrathecal delivery of the engineered Tat fusion-interefering peptide corresponding to the second intracellular loop of DOR （Tat-DOR-2L） increased inflammatory hypersensitivity, and inhibited DOR- but not μ-opioid receptor-mediated spinal analgesia in CFA-treated rats. However, intrathecal delivery of Tat-DOR-2L postponed morphine antinociceptive tolerance in rats with CFA-induced inflammatory pain. Conclusion Phosphorylation of DOR at Thr-161 by Cdk5 attenuates hypersensitivity and potentiates morphine tolerance in rats with CFA-induced inflammatory pain, while disruption of the phosphorylation of DOR at Thr- 161 attenuates morphine tolerance.展开更多
