Morphine regulated cannabinoid receptor expression in breast cancer cell lines, suggesting potential therapeutic implications.
Increased expression of cannabinoid receptors was observed at the highest morphine dose of 1.6 μM, but lower doses reduced receptor expression.
The study involved treating MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells with morphine of various concentrations for 24 and 48 hours to assess gene expression.
Understanding morphine's effects on cannabinoid receptors may help determine optimal pain management strategies for cancer patients.
