| Abstract | 1. Receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) is an intracellular receptor for protein kinase C (PKC) that regulates the cellular enzyme localization. Because opiate drugs modulate the levels of brain PKC (Ventayol et al., 1997), the aim of this study was to assess in parallel the effects of morphine on RACK1 and PKC-alpha and beta isozymes densities in rat brain frontal cortex by immunoblot assays. 2. Acute morphine (30 mg kg(-1), i.p., 2 h) induced significant increases in the densities of RACK1 (33%), PKC-alpha (35%) and PKC-beta (23%). In contrast, chronic morphine (10-100 mg kg(-1), i.p., 5 days) induced a decrease in RACK1 levels (22%), paralleled by decreases in the levels of PKC-alpha (16%) and PKC-beta (16%). 3. Spontaneous (48 h) and naloxone (2 mg kg(-1), i.p., 2 h)-precipitated morphine withdrawal after chronic morphine induced marked up-regulations in the levels of RACK1 (38-41%), PKC-alpha (51-52%) and PKC-beta (48-62%). 4. In the same brains and for all combined treatments, there were significant positive correlations between the density of RACK1 and those of PKC-alpha (r=0.85, n = 35) and PKC-beta (r=0.75, n=32). 5. These data indicate that RACK1 is involved in the short- and long-term effects of morphine and in opiate withdrawal, and that RACK1 modulation by morphine or its withdrawal is parallel to those of PKC-alpha and beta isozymes. Since RACK1 facilitates the PKC substrate accessibility, driving its cellular localization, the coordinate regulation of the PKC/RACK system by morphine could be a relevant molecular mechanism in opiate addiction. |

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.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
