The effects of morphine on MOR expression in U87 MG cells . U87 MG cells were treated with either vehicle (cell culture medium) or morphine (100 nM) for 0 (control), 45 minutes, 3, 6, 12, 24, or 48 hours. Real time RT-PCR was used to determine the copy number of the MOR and GAPDH. GAPDH levels were used to normalize the MOR levels. Each time-point was adjusted by the appropriate time-point control. Data are the mean ± SE. A Student’s t-test was used to determine significance. *P <0.05 compared to control.
