Using a herpes simplex virus, we either upregulated or downregulated NAc ERK2 activation and evaluated behavioral responses to stress-eliciting stimuli (elevated plus maze, open field, forced swim test) and cocaine-seeking behavior (conditioned place preference, self-administration). We also examined ERK2-mediated modifications in spine morphology of medium spiny neurons within the NAc.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Chronic unpredictable stress increased the phosphorylation of ERK2-signaling proteins within the NAc. Viral-mediated activation of NAc ERK2 enhanced susceptibility to both depression- and anxiety-related stimuli and increased cocaine-seeking behavior (conditioned place preference and reinstatement). These behavioral changes were associated with an increase in stubby and mushroom spines of NAc medium spiny neurons. Conversely, downregulation of ERK2 activation attenuated affect-related behavioral responses in the forced swim test and blunted cocaine’s rewarding effects without influencing NAc spine morphology.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>NAc ERK2 contributes to stress-induced behavioral deficits, including anxiety- and depression-like phenotypes, while promoting cocaine-seeking behavior. These findings suggest that ERK2 signaling in the NAc plays a role in the comorbidity of these related syndromes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72373,"journal":{"name":"Biological psychiatry global open science","volume":"5 2","pages":"Article 100416"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11786747/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143082439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Training participants completed up to three 3-month-long modules targeting attention-based mindfulness, socio-affective skills, or socio-cognitive skills. We examined change in serum BDNF levels after each 3-month training interval; evaluated whether training effects were linked to reduced cortisol release in the long-term, diurnally, and when acutely stress-induced; and explored associations with hippocampal volume changes.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>In the combined training cohorts, BDNF increased significantly and cumulatively after 3-, 6-, and 9-month training relative to the pretraining baseline (3 month: <em>t</em><sub>516</sub> = 3.57 [estimated increase: 1353 pg/mL], 6 month: <em>t</em><sub>516</sub> = 3.45 [1557 pg/mL], 9 month: <em>t</em><sub>516</sub> = 3.45 [2276 pg/mL]; all <em>p</em>s &lt; .001). After 9 months, training cohort BDNF was not higher than control cohort BDNF, which displayed unexplained variance. However, moderated mediation analysis showed that only training effects, and not control cohort BDNF change, were partially mediated by simultaneously reduced long-term cortisol release (3-month averages) measured in hair (15.1% mediation, <em>p</em> = .021). Individually greater BDNF increase after training correlated with more reduced long-term and stress-induced cortisol release. Moreover, greater BDNF increase after 9 months of training correlated with dentate gyrus volume increase (<em>t</em><sub>108</sub> = 2.09, <em>p</em> = .039).</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Longitudinal contemplative training may promote a neurobiological pathway from stress reduction to increased BDNF levels to enhanced hippocampal volume. However, single serum BDNF measurements can be unreliable for assessing long-term neurotrophic effects in healthy adults. Future studies should investigate nonspecific BDNF measurement effects before considering application in preventive health care.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72373,"journal":{"name":"Biological psychiatry global open science","volume":"5 2","pages":"Article 100414"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11786774/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143082445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
