✦ Synopsis

The morphogenetic changes in an epithelial cell line from Chironomus tentans that are evoked by molting hormones and molting hormone agonists are accompanied by transient changes in the concentration of actin and b-tubulin protein and mRNA. As compared to controls, actin protein and mRNA concentrations increase by about 50%, whereas tubulin reaches maxima of 100% increase. The proportion between globular and filamentous actin remains constant after hormone treatment. Arch.

In many cancer cell lines, including breast, prostate, lung, brain, head and neck, retina, and the gastrointestinal tract, opioids decrease cell proliferation in a dose-dependent and reversible manner. Opioid and/or other neuropeptide receptors mediate this decrease. We report that only the steroid-
