1 Treatment of NG108-15 cells with TPA (100 nM) for 48 h increased delta-opioid receptor mRNA levels, whereas different concentrations of forskolin induced a transient down-regulation of mRNA 5 h after treatment, followed by increased mRNA levels after 48 h. Reporter gene assays in transiently transfected NG108-15 cells in combination with electrophoretic mobility shift assays indicate that the increase of delta-opioid receptor mRNA after stimulation with TPA is mediated by transcription factor AP-1, which binds 355 bp upstream of the start codon within the gene promoter.
