Abstract;We investigated the potential of Hemorphin-6 to reduce antigen-induced neurogenic plasma extravasation in guinea pig airways. We measured the antigen-induced plasma extravasation in guinea pig trachea, as an index of neurogenic inflammation. The increase in plasma extravasation induced by antigen challenge(OVA: 5%, 2min, inhalation) was significantly reduced by pretreatment with Hemorphin-6(1mg/kg, i.v.). Hemorphin-6(1mg/kg, i.v.) inhibited by 50% in the trachea plasma extravasation induced by OVA challenge. Furthermore, we examined affinity of Hemorphin-6 to opioid receptors(.DELTA.,.KAPPA.,.MU.) using radioligand binding method in vitro. Binding inhibition to opioid .DELTA.,.KAPPA. and .MU. receptors of Hemorphin-6 was 12%, 8% and 47% respectively. Opioid .MU. receptor antagonist, endomorphin-1 inhibited by 99% in the binding to opioid .MU. receptor. These findings suggest that Hemorphin-6 reduces antigen-induced plasma extravasation by inhibiting the release of substance P from primary sensory nerves(C-fiber) via prejunctional .MU.-opioid receptors in sensitized guinea pig airways.
