Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an angiogenic mitogen, specific for endothelial cells. Hypoxia-induced VEGF in endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes leads to autocrine and paracrine stimulation, respectively. During myocardial ischemia, VEGF is upregulated in the endothelium and myocardium, and may mediate angiogenesis. Morphine sulfate is commonly used in pain relief for patients with acute myocardial infarction. We investigated the effect of morphine sulfate on VEGF expression in cultured endothelial cells and cardiac myocytes subjected to hypoxia. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays showed that morphine sulfate significantly inhibited hypoxia-induced VEGF expression in mouse heart microvascular endothelial cells (SMHEC4), primary cultures of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and in primary cultures of rat cardiac myocytes (P
