beta-Funaltrexamine inactivates ORL1 receptors in BE(2)-C human neuroblastoma cells.
The potential interactions of natively expressed mu-opioid and opioid receptor-like (ORL1) receptors were studied by exposing intact BE(2)-C cells to agonists or antagonists for 1 h. Pretreatment with the mu-opioid receptor agonist, [D-Ala(2), N-Me-Phe(4),Gly(5)-ol]enkephalin (DAMGO), or the ORL1 receptor agonist, orphanin FQ/nociceptin desensitized both mu-opioid and ORL1 receptor responses. beta-Funaltrexamine (beta-FNA) pretreatment also blocked both mu-opioid and ORL1 receptor responses, but only mu-opioid receptor binding was reduced. Moreover, beta-FNA (1 microM) failed to inhibit specific ORL1 receptor binding.
