Fig. 2. μ-Opioid receptor (MOR) activation induces Elk-1-mediated transcription. Cells were pretreated with pertussis toxin (PTX; 100 ng/ml; 24 h) or PD98059 (50 μm; 2 h), and then stimulated with 1 μm [D-Ala2, N -Me-Phe4,Gly-ol5]enkephalin (DAMGO) or 1 μm morphine. The ratio of normalized luciferase activity to that of nonstimulated control cells is expressed as mean ± SD from three separate experiments done in duplicate (*P < 0.05 vs.  nonstimulated control; #P < 0.05 vs.  cells stimulated by the same agonist without pretreatment).
