They used a forward genetic screen in Caenorhabditis elegans for unbiased identification of genes regulating opioid tolerance.

They found that PTR-25/Ptchd1 controls μ-opioid receptor trafficking and that these effects were mediated by the ability of Ptchd1 to control membrane cholesterol.

Electrophysiological studies showed that loss of Ptchd1 in mice reduced opioid-induced desensitization of neurons in several brain regions.

Mice and C. elegans lacking Ptchd1/PTR-25 display similarly augmented responses to opioids.

Ptchd1 knockout mice fail to develop analgesic tolerance and have greatly diminished somatic withdrawal.

The finding could open the door to a new generation of pain medications designed to function differently

The discovery raises the possibility that cholesterol in the cell membrane may affect how people respond to other drugs.

Understanding how cholesterol may drive tolerance is an important advance to find a new generation of pain medications less prone to causing overdose
