| Research Abstract |
Remifentanil occasionally induces acute tolerance and postoperative hyperalgesia. Development of acute tolerance and opioid-induced hyperalgesia might be related to accelerated internalization and impaired recycling ofμ-opioid receptor(MOR). We thus examined the internalization and recycling profiles of MOR induced by remifentanil. We further investigated the effects of co-treatment with S(+)-ketamine and remifentanil on the internalization and recycling of MOR. We demonstrated that higher concentrations of remifentanil caused impairment of MOR recycling, which may explain acute tolerance or hyperalgesia after infusion of remifentanil at high concentrations in the clinical settings. Furthermore, we found that co-treatment with S(+)-ketamine prevented the impairment of MOR recycling induced by remifentanil. Combinational use with S(+)-ketamine and remifentanil may prevent the acute tolerance and postoperative hyperalgesia.
