Reduction of cell proliferation and potentiation of Fas-induced apoptosis by the selective kappa-opioid receptor agonist U50 488 in the multiple myeloma LP-1 cells
Abstract As opioid receptors modulate proliferation and apoptosis of immune cells, we hypothesized that they could reduce malignant haematopoietic cells. After screening, we selected the human multiple myeloma LP-1 cells which express mu- (MOP-) and kappa-opioid receptors (KOP-R). U50 488 produces a...

Summary: | Abstract As opioid receptors modulate proliferation and apoptosis of immune cells, we hypothesized that they could reduce malignant haematopoietic cells. After screening, we selected the human multiple myeloma LP-1 cells which express mu- (MOP-) and kappa-opioid receptors (KOP-R). U50 488 produces a modest but significant decrease in viability associated with an arrest in the G0/G1 phase, but not antagonized by NorBNI and not associated with modulation of p21Cip1 , p27Kip1 or p53 expression. In contrast, no effect was observed with dynorphin, U69 593 and morphine. In conclusion, the anti-proliferative effects of U50 488 are not mediated by KOP-R in the LP-1 cells. |
