The antagonistic effect of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) on opioid effects in cardiovascular activities was mediated by CCK-B receptor.
Previous studies have shown that CCK-8 has distinct antiopioid effect in the central sites related with pain control and blood pressure control. The aim of this study was to explore the receptor mechanism by which CCK-8 antagonized the depressor effect of u- and k-opioid agonists, and to observe whether CCK-8 could antagonize the depressor effect induced by muscimol, a nonopioid substance. The results showed that (i) The antagonistic effect of CCK-8 on opioid-induced hypotension could be blocked by intrathecal (i. t.) administration of CCK-B antagonist L-365, 260 at nanogram doses, or by CCK-A antagonist devazepide at doses 20-40 times higher than L-365, 260, indicating that it was the CCK-B receptor which mediates the antiopioid effect. (ii) The depressor effect induced by intrathecal muscimol, a GABA agonist, was blocked neither by naloxone nor by CCK-8, supporting the notion that CCK-8 is an endogenous opioid antagonist rather than a universal anti-hypotension agent.
