DAMGO is a highly selective peptide agonist for the μ-opioid receptor (MOR) with a Kd of 3.46nM[1-2]. DAMGO activates G protein-coupled receptors, inhibits adenylate cyclase to reduce intracellular cAMP levels, and modulates ion channel activity, thereby suppressing neuronal excitability and neurotransmitter release. DAMGO can be used for pain mechanism research, neural signaling pathway analysis, and opioid receptor function studies[3-4].
In vitro, rat dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons were pretreated with DAMGO (1μM) for 2-3min, followed by stimulation with prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂; 1μM) for 120s. DAMGO significantly inhibited PGE₂-induced enhancement of tetrodotoxin-resistant sodium currents (TTX-R Iₙₐ)[5]. TF-1 human bone marrow progenitor cells were pretreated with DAMGO (1μM and 10μM) for 24 hours. DAMGO reduced the expression level of the CXCR4 receptor on the cell surface and significantly inhibited the replication of the X4-tropic HIV-1 strain IIIB in cells[6].
In vivo, DAMGO (10ng) was stereotactically injected into the anterior cingulate cortex of young male mice (administered on postnatal days 6, 8, and 10). DAMGO induced autism-like behaviors in mice, including social interaction deficits, anxiety-like behaviors, and stereotyped behaviors, while downregulating Grin2b expression and GluN2B protein levels in the anterior cingulate cortex[7]. DAMGO (5–15μg) was administered via local (surgical site) or lumbar (L3–L5) intrathecal injection to adult (3–6 months old) and aged (24 months old) mice (administered on day 1 or days 1–3 postoperatively). DAMGO dose-dependently attenuated heat- and mechanical-induced postoperative hyperalgesia in an incision model. The inhibitory effect on incision-induced spontaneous pain by intrathecal DAMGO (5μg) or systemic intraperitoneal injection (1mg/kg) was more pronounced in adult mice[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | TF-1 human bone marrow progenitor cells (CD34+CD38+ hematopoietic progenitor cell line) |
Preparation Method | TF-1 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin (100U/ml), streptomycin (100μg/ml), and recombinant human granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (2ng/ml) at 37°C in 5% CO₂. TF-1 cells were treated with DAMGO (1μM and 10μM) for 24 hours. |
Reaction Conditions | 1μM and 10μM; 24h. |
Applications | DAMGO treatment significantly altered the surface expression profile of CXCR4 on TF-1 cells, shifting the relative proportion of CXCR4+ cells toward a low-expressing phenotype. This effect correlated with a >3-fold reduction in replication of the X4 HIV-1 strain IIIB. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | C57BL/6J mice (young male and female mice at postnatal days 6, 8, and 10) |
Preparation Method | Mice received stereotaxic microinjections of DAMGO (10ng) into the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) at postnatal days 6, 8, and 10. Behavioral tests including three-chamber social preference, elevated plus maze, grooming behavior, and open-field test were performed from postnatal days 30-32. |
Dosage form | 10ng; stereotaxic intracerebral injection; administered three times at P6, P8, and P10. |
Applications | DAMGO injection into the ACC induced autism-like behaviors in young mice, including social interaction deficits, anxiety-like behaviors, and increased stereotyped behaviors. DAMGO treatment significantly downregulated Grin2b expression and GluN2B protein amounts in the ACC through hypermethylation of the Grin2b gene promoter region. |
