Single-cell profiling of glial cells from the mouse amygdala under opioid dependent and withdrawal states.

ABSTRACT: The cycle of substance use disorder (SUD) leading to dependence is a complex process involving multiple neurocircuitries and brain regions. The amygdala is the core brain region that is involved in processing withdrawal and anxiety and depressive-like behaviors. However, the transcriptional changes in each cell type within the amygdala during SUD remains unknown. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing and classified all cell types in the mouse amygdala. We particularly focused on gene expression changes in glial cells under dependent state and compared to either naive or withdrawal state. Our data revealed distinct changes in key biological processes, such as gene expression, immune response, inflammation, synaptic transmission, and mitochondrial respiration. Significant differences
