Studies at the behavioral and synaptic level show that effects of ethanol on the central nervous system can involve the opioid signaling system. These interactions may alter the function of a common downstream target. In this study, we examined Ca2+ channel function as a potential downstream target of interactions between ethanol and mu or kappa opioid receptor signaling. The studies were carried out in a model system, undifferentiated PC12 cells transfected with mu or kappa opioid receptors. The PC12 cells express L-type Ca2+ channels, which were activated by K+ depolarization. Ca2+ imaging was used to measure relative Ca2+ flux during K+ depolarization and the modulation of Ca2+ flux by opioids and ethanol. Ethanol, mu receptor activation and kappa receptor activation all reduced the amplitude of the Ca2+ signal produced by K+ depolarization. Pretreatment with ethanol or combined treatment with ethanol and mu or kappa receptor agonists caused a reduction in the amplitude of the Ca2+ signal that was comparable to or smaller than that observed for the individual drugs alone, indicating an interaction by the drugs at a downstream target (or targets) that limited the modulation of Ca2+ flux through L-type Ca2+ channels. These studies provide evidence for a cellular mechanism that could play an important role in ethanol regulation of synaptic transmission and behavior through interactions with the opioid signaling.
