Transcriptional profiling reveals differential changes in the respective expression of oxytocin and CART mRNA levels in the nucleus accumbens and dorsal striatum of compulsive methamphetamine taking rats (nucleus accumbens)

ABSTRACT: Methamphetamine addiction is mimicked in rats that self-administer the drug and accelerate their intake when given long access to it. Self-administration (SA) models do not include adverse consequences that are necessary to reach a diagnosis of addiction in humans. Here, we studied transcriptional consequences of methamphetamine SA and repeated foot-shocks in rat brain.

Increased expression of proenkephalin and prodynorphin mRNAs in the nucleus accumbens of compulsive methamphetamine taking rats

Project description:Addiction to psychostimulants is associated with neuroadaptive changes in various brain regions. In this experiment we use a model of methamphetamine self-administration during which we use footshocks as adverse consequences to divide rats into animals that continue to press an active lever to get the drug (shock-resistant) whereas other rats stop or significantly reduce pressing the lever (shock-sensitive) in the presence of these adverse consequences. To investigate potential molecular bases for the divergent phenotype, we performed a whole rat transcriptome study using Affymetrix rat arrays that cover more than 24,000 coding transcripts. The array experiments revealed that there were 24 differentially expressed genes between the resistant and sensitive rats, with 15 up- and 9 downregulated transcripts. Ingenuity pathway analysis revealed that these transcripts belong in a network of genes involved in nervous system development and function, cell signaling, behavior, and disorders of the basal ganglia. These genes included proenkephalin (PENK) and prodynorphin (PDYN), among others. Because PDYN and PENK are expressed in dopamine D1- and D2-containing NAc neurons, respectively, these findings suggest that mechanisms that impact both cell types may play a role in the regulation of compulsive methamphetamine taking by rats.

Transcription profiling by high throughput sequencing of methamphetamine-sensitized and saline-control mouse nucleus accumbens

Project description:Using ssRNA-seq, we examined the alteration of transcription profiles in the nucleus accumbens of methamphetamine-sensitized mice. Methamphetamine was a commonly abused psychostimulant. Repeated exposure to methamphetamine elicited long-lasting cellular and molecular changes, including the aberrant expression of coding and non-coding RNAs, which may involve in methamphetamine-induced locomotor sensitization and addiction.

Transcriptional profile of brain reward circuits following methamphetamine self-administration

Project description:Methamphetamine (METH) is a powerful stimulant that has caused addiction (compulsive drug seeking and taking behavior) in millions of people world-wide. METH abuse is also associated with negative impact on the brain. One feature of addiction is uncontrollable drug seeking despite adverse consequences and becomes habitual. To mimic this in a rat model, rats with a history of METH use are given the opportunity to earn METH accompanied by aversive shocks on their feet. Rats that continue to take METH are shock-resistant (SR) and rats that reduce their METH intake are shock-sensitive (SS ).Rats that self-administered saline are controls (CT). In addition, we used controls for shock paradigm. For this purpose, when METH SA rat received a shock, the saline SA rat was also shocked. The separate groups of rats that were yoked (Y) to the corresponding METH shock-resistant (SR) and shock-sensitive (SS) rats are termed YSR and YSS, respectively.

Proteomics analysis of dorsal striatum reveals changes in synaptosomal proteins following ethamphetamine self-administration in rats

Project description:Methamphetamine is a widely abused, highly addictive drug. Regulation of synaptic proteins within the brain’s reward pathway modulates addiction behaviours, the progression of drug addiction and long-term changes in brain structure and function that result from drug use. Therefore, using large scale proteomics studies we aim to identify global protein expression changes within the dorsal striatum, a key brain region involved in the modulation of addiction. We performed LC-MS/MS analyses on rat striatal synaptosomes following 30 days of methamphetamine self-administration (2 hours/day) and 14 days abstinence. We identified a total of 84 differentially-expressed proteins with known roles in neuroprotection, neuroplasticity, cell cytoskeleton, energy regulation and synaptic vesicles. We identify significant expression changes in stress-induced phosphoprotein and protein Tppp, which have not previously been associated with addiction. In addition, we confirm the role of amphiphysin and phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein in addiction. This approach has provided new insight into the effects of methamphetamine self-administration on synaptic protein expression in a key brain region associated with addiction, showing a large set of differentially-expressed proteins that persist into abstinence.
