7472439 Randic M, Cheng G, Kojic L: kappa-opioid receptor agonists modulate excitatory transmission in substantia gelatinosa neurons of the rat spinal cord. J Neurosci. 1995 Oct;15(10):6809-26.

Monosynaptic and polysynaptic excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) were evoked by orthodromic electrical stimulation of A delta or C primary afferent fibers in the dorsal root after blocking inhibitory inputs with bicuculline and strychnine, NMDA receptors with D-2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid and mu- and delta-opioid receptors with CTAP and ICI 174,864, respectively.
Bath application of dynorphin A1-17 or U-69, 593 caused dual modulation of the peak amplitude of presumed monosynaptic AMPA receptor-mediated EPSPs, decreasing synaptic potentials at nanomolar concentrations in a majority of SG cells examined (dynorphin, 63%; U-69,593, 91%), and increasing EPSPs at micromolar concentrations.

The protective effects of a variety of competitive and non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists indicate that activation of the NMDA receptor complex is essential for dynorphin A-induced spinal cord injury. 1-Aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid (ACPC) is a high affinity, partial agonist at strychnine-insensitive glycine receptors associated with the NMDA receptor complex.
