Animals were exposed to cigarette smoke or air for 2 h daily for 14 or 28 days. Serum nicotine levels were quantified by UPLC-MS/MS, reward-related behavior was evaluated using a conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm, and the expression of reward-associated signaling proteins in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) was assessed by Western blotting. Cigarette smoke exposure produced a dose-dependent increase in serum nicotine concentrations. No significant CPP was observed after 14 days of exposure; however, after 28 days, mice exhibited a significant and dose-dependent increase in preference for the smoke-paired compartment, accompanied by elevated preference index values. At the molecular level, repeated smoke exposure induced dose-dependent increases in p-ERK, p-CaMKII, and c-Fos expression in the NAc. Furthermore, administration of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist mecamylamine significantly attenuated both CPP behavior and the activation of these signaling pathways. These findings demonstrate that repeated cigarette smoke exposure induces nicotine-dependent reward behavior through activation of NAc-associated signaling pathways.

Numerous biochemical changes in the brain, such as changes in redox status, are thought to contribute to the development of hyperalgesia to fentanyl and other opioids. This study addresses whether the clinically used antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine (L-NAC) and its readily cell-penetrant analogue, L-NAC methyl ester (L-NACme) would affect the progressive loss of antinociception and appearance of hyperalgesia in adult male Sprague Dawley rats. We monitored changes in tail-flick latencies following twice daily co-injections over 5 days (8 AM, 8 PM) of fentanyl (125 μg/kg, IV) + vehicle or L-NAC (500 μmol/kg, IV) or L-NACme (500 μmol/kg, IV) in the rats. The first co-injections of fentanyl + vehicle elicited a long-lasting antinociception, whereas a robust hyperalgesia appeared with co-injections 5 and was even more dramatic following co-injections 6-10. The co-injections of fentanyl + L-NAC partially prevented the loss of antinociception and occurrence of hyperalgesia, and co-injections of fentanyl and L-NACme markedly reduced the loss of antinociception and prevented the appearance of hyperalgesia. This study provides evidence that L-NAC and L-NACme beneficially affect the alterations in pain processing that occurs with sub-chronic administration of fentanyl. The higher efficacy of L-NACme is likely to be due to its greater cell penetrability in brain regions and interaction with intracellular signaling cascades, which may include redox-dependent processes, that mediate fentanyl-induced antinociception and hyperalgesia.</p>","PeriodicalId":19893,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"174286"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149195997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One factor known to impact the balance of these effects is concurrent and serial polydrug use. A drug class for which such interactions are common is synthetic cathinones. In prior work, history with the synthetic cathinone eutylone had no effect on cocaine- or MDMA-induced taste avoidance in male rats, possibly as a function of the insufficient overlap between the pharmacological activity of eutylone and the other compounds. To investigate the broader scope of this effect, this study assessed how a history of eutylone influenced drug-induced taste avoidance in female rats. Assessments were also made on the rewarding effects of these drugs, given their importance for abuse vulnerability. In the present study, adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to eutylone or saline prior to concurrent taste avoidance/place preference conditioning in which saccharin and a distinct compartment were repeatedly paired with cocaine, MDMA, or eutylone. All drugs induced taste avoidance. Avoidance induced by eutylone was attenuated by eutylone history, but those induced by MDMA and cocaine were unaffected. Eutylone history had no effect on place preferences induced by MDMA or eutylone (but increased place preferences induced by cocaine). The failure of eutylone to impact the aversive effects of cocaine and MDMA despite sharing neurochemical actions suggests that eutylone's pharmacological activity may produce subjective effects that differ from those of either MDMA or cocaine. The differential effects of eutylone history on drug reward (increasing cocaine reward but having no impact on eutylone or MDMA) remain unknown but suggests that the basis for the aversive and rewarding effects of these drugs are dissociable.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19893,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior","volume":"260 ","pages":"Article 174152"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145945548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
