Project description:Despite addiction being one of the most prevalent and debilitating disorders worldwide, effective treatments are lacking. Repeated cocaine exposure induces maladaptive transcriptional regulation within the brainâ??s reward circuitry, such as the nucleus accumbens (NAc), and epigenetic mechanisms, such as histone acetylation or methylation on Lys (K) residues, have been linked to these lasting actions of cocaine. However, in contrast to K methylation, the functional role of histone Arg (R) methylation remains unexplored in addiction models and poorly understood in brain in general. Here we show that protein-R-methyltransferase-6 (PRMT6) and its associated histone mark, asymmetric dimethylation of R2 on histone H3 (H3R2me2a), are decreased in the NAc of mice and rats after repeated cocaine exposure, as well as in the NAc of cocaine-addicted humans. PRMT6 downregulation occurs selectively in NAc medium spiny neurons expressing dopamine D2 receptors (D2-MSNs) and serves to protect against cocaine-induced addictive-like behavioral abnormalities. Using ChIP-seq, we demonstrate that reduced H3R2me2a binding at gene targets in NAc after repeated cocaine is strongly correlated with increased binding of H3K4me3, and identify Src kinase signaling inhibitor 1 (Srcin1 or p140Cap) as a key gene for these chromatin modifications. Cocaine induction of Srcin1 in NAc, which is associated with reduced Src signaling, decreases cocaine reward, the motivation to self administer cocaine, and cocaine-induced changes in NAc MSN dendritic spines. These results suggest that this suppression of Src signaling in NAc D2-MSNs, via PRMT6 and H3R2me2a downregulation, functions as a homeostatic brake to restrain cocaine action, and provide novel candidates for the development of new treatments for cocaine addiction.

Project description:Drug-induced alterations in gene expression play an important role in the development of addictive behavior. Methionine has been proven to inhibit addictive behaviors of cocaine dependence. However, the mechanisms underlying how methionine use corresponds to drug-induced behaviors still remain unclear. We performed mRNA and miRNA high-throughput sequencing of the prefrontal cortex in a mouse model of cocaine CPP combined with L-methionine in order to identify L-methionine target miRNAs and genes that participate in the cocaine conditioned place preference (CPP). We found that the L-methionine inhibits cocaine CPP. Sequencing data analysis showed that L-methionine down-regulates genes enriched in the Glutamatergic Synapse pathways and significantly reversed the cocaine-induced expression changes of the substance dependence pathways (Morphine addiction and Nicotine addiction) and the neurotransmitter synapse pathways (Glutamatergic Synapse, Cholinergic Synapse and GABAergic Synapse). Furthermore, the Glutamatergic synapse was either overlapped between DEGs with DEGs-miRNA induced by cocaine CPP, or with the MET effects on cocaine CPP. Nineteen targeted genes were investigated and five were identified (Gria4, Grid1, Grik4, Grik5 and Grin3a) to belong to iGluR family. Interestingly, there were several miRNAs that had the same sequence which targets the iGluR family: Mmu-miR-30e-50p and mmu-miR-380-5p share UUGAC motif and targets Grik4; mmu-miR-6940-3p and mmu-miR-212-5p both share UGGCU motif which targets Gria4 and Grid1 respectively. Thus, we demonstrated the efficacy of L-methionine in counteracting the effects of cocaine CPP and identified specific genes of synaptic plasticity pathways, especially the Glutamatergic synapse pathway, which is modulated by L-methionine in response to cocaine dependence.

Project description:Nicotine intake, whether through tobacco smoking or e-cigarettes, remains a global health concern. An emerging preclinical literature indicates that parental nicotine exposure produces behavioral, physiological, and molecular changes in subsequent generations. However, the heritable effects of voluntary parental nicotine taking are unknown. Here, we show increased acquisition of nicotine taking in male and female offspring of sires that self-administered nicotine. In contrast, self-administration of sucrose and cocaine were unaltered in male and female offspring suggesting that the intergenerational effects of paternal nicotine taking may be reinforcer specific. Further characterization revealed memory deficits and increased anxiety-like behaviors in drug-naïve male, but not female, offspring of nicotine-experienced sires. Using an unbiased, genome-wide approach, we discovered that these phenotypes were associated with decreased expression of Satb2, a transcription factor known to play important roles in synaptic plasticity and memory formation, in the hippocampus of nicotine-sired male offspring. This effect was sex-specific as no changes in Satb2 expression were found in nicotine-sired female offspring. Finally, increasing Satb2 levels in the hippocampus prevented the escalation of nicotine intake and rescued the memory deficits associated with paternal nicotine taking in male offspring. Collectively, these findings indicate that paternal nicotine taking produces heritable sex-specific molecular changes that promote addiction-like phenotypes and memory impairments in male offspring. To characterize the molecular changes associated with the heritable effects of paternal nicotine taking, an unbiased, whole-genome analysis was used to characterize the hippocampal transcriptome of drug-naïve F1 males
