Abstract

Unique populations of basolateral amygdala (BLA) neurons regulate anxiety and reward through projections targeting downstream regions like the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) and nucleus accumbens (NAC). We showed previously that withdrawal from chronic ethanol exposure (CIE/WD) produced population- and sex-specific alterations to distinct glutamatergic inputs. The current study examined GABAergic function in these distinct populations (BLANAC and BLABNST neurons). We found that CIE/WD diminished feed-forward GABA release from lateral paracapsular cells (LPCs) specifically onto male BLANAC neurons. Pharmacological manipulations showed this dysregulation was caused by the enhanced activity of μ-opioid receptors. CIE/WD did not alter evoked GABA release from local interneurons onto either population. However, females expressed greater GABA release from these local interneurons compared to males. Immunostaining and confocal microscopy revealed lower colocalization between the GABA vesicular transporter, vGAT and parvalbumin in females, indicating that greater GABA releases from local interneurons in this sex may be a compensatory response to lower levels of perisomatic innervation by PV+ interneurons. Consistent with this, there were no sex differences related to spontaneous GABAergic synaptic events although CIE/WD decreased their frequency specifically in BLABNST neurons from both sexes. Altogether, these findings demonstrate that CIE/WD dynamically alters GABAergic function in an input-, sex- and population-specific fashion. Moreover, there are basal sex differences in both the anatomy of BLA GABAergic synapses and their function.

慢性间歇乙醇和戒断抑制诱发和自发GABA释放到基底外侧杏仁核主要神经元的不同种群
独特的基底外侧杏仁核(BLA)神经元群通过投射到下游区域,如终纹床核(BNST)和伏隔核(NAC),来调节焦虑和奖励。我们之前的研究表明,退出慢性乙醇暴露(CIE/WD)会产生不同谷氨酸输入的群体和性别特异性改变。目前的研究检查了这些不同群体(BLANAC和BLABNST神经元)的gaba能功能。我们发现CIE/WD减少了侧包膜旁细胞(LPCs)对雄性BLANAC神经元的前馈GABA释放。药理操作表明,这种失调是由μ-阿片受体活性增强引起的。CIE/WD未改变两组小鼠局部中间神经元诱发的GABA释放。然而,与雄性相比,雌性在这些局部中间神经元中表达了更多的GABA释放。免疫染色和共聚焦显微镜显示,雌性GABA囊泡转运体、vGAT和小白蛋白之间的共定位较低,表明雌性局部中间神经元释放更多的GABA可能是对PV+中间神经元细胞周围神经支配水平较低的代偿反应。与此一致的是,自发性gaba能突触事件没有性别差异,尽管CIE/WD在两性的BLABNST神经元中特异性地降低了它们的频率。总之,这些发现表明,CIE/WD以输入、性别和人口特定的方式动态改变gaba能功能。此外,在BLA - gaba能突触的解剖结构和功能上也存在基本的性别差异。

期刊介绍: Addiction Biology is focused on neuroscience contributions and it aims to advance our understanding of the action of drugs of abuse and addictive processes. Papers are accepted in both animal experimentation or clinical research. The content is geared towards behavioral, molecular, genetic, biochemical, neuro-biological and pharmacology aspects of these fields. Addiction Biology includes peer-reviewed original research reports and reviews. Addiction Biology is published on behalf of the Society for the Study of Addiction to Alcohol and other Drugs (SSA). Members of the Society for the Study of Addiction receive the Journal as part of their annual membership subscription.
