International audience. Opioid analgesia is counteracted on chronic use by tolerance and hyperalgesia inducing dose escalation and life-threatening overdoses. Mu opiate receptors (MOR) expressed in primary sensory neurons were recently found to control tolerance and hyperalgesia, but the underlying mechanisms remained elusive. Here we show that genetic inactivation of fms -like tyrosine kinase receptor 3 (FLT3) receptor in sensory neurons abrogates morphine tolerance and hyperalgesia by preventing MOR-induced hyperactivation of the cAMP signaling pathway and subsequent excitatory adaptive processes. Moreover, the specific FLT3 inhibitor BDT001 potentiates morphine analgesia in acute and chronic pain models, without aggravating morphine adverse effects, and reverses tolerance and hyperalgesia once installed. Thus, FLT3 appears as a key regulator of the MOR signaling pathway and its pharmacological blockade shows promise to enhance chronic opioid analgesic efficacy.
