1 Acute morphine activates satellite glial cells and up-regulates IL-1beta in dorsal root ganglia in mice via matrix metalloprotease-9. Morphine interleukin 1 beta Mus musculus
2 We examined acute morphine-induced activation of satellite glial cells (SGCs) and up-regulation of IL-1beta in dorsal root ganglia (DRGs), and further investigated the involvement of MMP-9 in these opioid-induced peripheral changes. Morphine interleukin 1 beta Mus musculus
3 The acute morphine-induced GFAP expression is transient, peaking at 2 h and declining after 3 h. Acute morphine treatment also increased IL-1beta immunoreactivity in SGCs and IL-1beta activation in DRGs. Morphine interleukin 1 beta Mus musculus
4 The acute morphine-induced GFAP expression is transient, peaking at 2 h and declining after 3 h. Acute morphine treatment also increased IL-1beta immunoreactivity in SGCs and IL-1beta activation in DRGs. Morphine interleukin 1 beta Mus musculus
5 The acute morphine-induced GFAP expression is transient, peaking at 2 h and declining after 3 h. Acute morphine treatment also increased IL-1beta immunoreactivity in SGCs and IL-1beta activation in DRGs. Morphine interleukin 1 beta Mus musculus
6 The acute morphine-induced GFAP expression is transient, peaking at 2 h and declining after 3 h. Acute morphine treatment also increased IL-1beta immunoreactivity in SGCs and IL-1beta activation in DRGs. Morphine interleukin 1 beta Mus musculus
7 Importantly, morphine-induced DRG up-regulation of GFAP expression and IL-1beta activation was abolished after Mmp9 deletion or naloxone pre-treatment. Morphine interleukin 1 beta Mus musculus
8 Finally, intrathecal injections of IL-1beta-selective siRNA not only reduced DRG IL-1beta expression but also prolonged acute morphine-induced analgesia. Morphine interleukin 1 beta Mus musculus
9 CONCLUSIONS: Acute morphine induces opioid receptors- and MMP-9-dependent up-regulation of GFAP expression and IL-1beta activation in SGCs of DRGs. Morphine interleukin 1 beta Mus musculus
