Description
An account of the resource
Endomorphin (EM)-1 and EM-2 are tetrapeptides with high affinity and selectivity for the micro-opioid receptor. We have utilized specific radioimmunoassays to characterize EM-1 and EM-2 in immune tissues from normal human subjects and from rats with adjuvant arthritis (AA). PBLs from three normal human subjects contained 248, 13, and 303 pg EM-1 per 100 million cells, whereas EM-2 was measured in two subjects at 69 and 588 pg per 100 million cells. In AA rats, EM-1 (but not EM-2) contents in the spleen and thymus were elevated compared with levels in tissues from non-AA controls. EM-1 was detectable in five of eight samples of synovial tissue from inflamed hind paws, whereas EM-2 was detectable in two of eight synovial extracts. Neither EM-1 nor EM-2 were detectable in synovial tissue from non-AA rats. To our knowledge, this is the first report of endomorphins in normal human immune cells. Increased endomorphin expression or uptake in peripheral tissues in a rodent model of chronic inflammation provides potential for endomorphins to selectively modulate chronic inflammation in mammals.
