Oxidative stress contributes to changes in neurosensory processing, including pain, that occur during aging and neurodegeneration. The effects of neuronal oxidation on the opioid system are poorly understood. In this in vitro study, oxidative stress was induced by 3-nitroproprionic acid (3-NPA) in opioid-responsive differentiated SK-N-SH cells. Changes in the inhibitory effects of opioid receptor agonists on intracellular cAMP were used as a marker of the function of mu and delta opioid receptors (MOR and DOR, respectively). Cells were treated with morphine and selective MOR and DOR agonists and antagonists to characterize the function of each receptor subtype. Cyclic AMP (cAMP) was measured by enzyme immunoassay. Levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were assessed using the 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate assay. Exposure of cells to 3-NPA resulted in an increase in ROS. After 3-NPA exposure, there was a significant attenuation of the inhibitory effect of morphine and DAMGO but not of DPDPE on cAMP. In cells pretreated with CTOP, 3-NPA did not change the inhibitory effect on cAMP. These findings demonstrate for the first time that under conditions of mitochondrial damage, the function of MOR is significantly decreased, while the function of DOR does not change, suggesting that the effect of 3-NPA on opioid receptors is subtype-specific.
