| Abstract | GM1 ganglioside was previously shown to function as a specific regulator of excitatory opioid activity in dorsal root ganglion neurons and F11 hybrid cells, as seen in its facilitation of opioid-induced activation of adenylyl cyclase and its ability to dramatically reduce the threshold opioid concentration required to prolong the action potential duration. The elevated levels of GM1 resulting from chronic opioid exposure of F11 cells were postulated to cause the ensuing opioid excitatory supersensitivity. We now show that GM1 promotes opioid (DADLE)-induced activation of adenylyl cyclase in NG108-15 cells which possess the δ-type of receptor. In keeping with previous studies of other systems, this can be envisioned as conformational interaction of GM1 with the receptor that results in uncoupling of the receptor from G$_{i}$ and facilitated coupling to G$_{s}$. This would also account for the observation that DADLE-induced attenuation of forskolin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase was reversed by GM1, provided the cells were not pretreated with pertussis toxin. When the cells were so pretreated, GM1 evoked an unexpected attenuation of forskolin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase attributed to GM1-promoted influx of calcium which was postulated to inhibit a calcium-sensitive form of adenylyl cyclase. This is concordant with several studies showing GM1 to be a potent modulator of calcium flux. Pertussis toxin in these experiments exerted dual effects, one being to promote interaction of the δ-opioid receptor with G$_{s}$ through inactivation of G$_{i}$, and the other to enhance the GM1-promoted influx of calcium by inactivation of G$_{o}$; the latter is postulated to function as constitutive inhibitor of the relevant calcium channel. NG108-15 cells thus provide an interesting example of competitive interaction between two GM1-regulated systems involving enhancement of both opioid receptor excitatory activity and calcium influx. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
