摘要:
Studies in knockout mouse strains have shown that some cannabimimetic effects persist in animals lacking cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors. These residual effects are thought to result, in part, from a cannabinoid-modulation of ion channels. This study investigates the role of 5-HT3 receptors as a potential in vivo target for cannabinoids. Mice deficient in CB1 and CB2 receptors were treated with Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol and anandamide, in the presence of the 5-HT3 antagonist ondansetron. We show that the cannabinoid receptor-independent anandamide analgesia, but not catalepsy, is completely blocked by ondansetron. Thus, 5-HT3 receptors seem to be involved in cannabinoid analgesia.
