The nucleus accumbens (NAc) shell (NAsh) in the brain, along with the interactions between N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) and the dopamine D1 receptor (D1R), as well as their downstream ERK/CREB signalling pathway in the NAc, are integral in regulating reward-seeking behaviour. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether NMDARs and the NMDAR-D1R/ERK/CREB signalling pathway in the NAsh are involved in mediating propofol addiction. To investigate it, we conducted experiments with adult male Sprague–Dawley rats to establish a model of propofol self-administration behaviour. Subsequently, we microinjected D-AP5 (a competitive antagonist of NMDARs, 1.0–4.0 μg/0.3 μL/site) or vehicle into bilateral NAsh in rats that had previously self-administered propofol to examine the impact of NMDARs within the NAsh on propofol self-administration behaviour. Additionally, we examined the protein expressions of NR2A and NR2B subunits, and the D1R/ERK/CREB signalling pathways within the NAc. The results revealed that propofol administration behaviour was enhanced by D-AP5 pretreatment in NAsh, accompanied by elevated expressions of phosphorylation of NR2A (Tyr1246) and NR2B (Tyr1472) subunits. There were statistically significant increases in the expressions of D1Rs, as well as in the phosphorylated ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2) and CREB (p-CREB). This evidence substantiates a pivotal role of NMDARs in the NAsh, with a particular emphasis on the NR2A and NR2B subunits, in mediating propofol self-administration behaviour. Furthermore, it suggests that this central reward processing mechanism may operate through the NMDAR-D1R/ERK/CREB signal transduction pathway.</p>","PeriodicalId":7289,"journal":{"name":"Addiction Biology","volume":"29 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/adb.13401","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141089014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we performed single nuclei RNA sequencing to study transcriptional programs in fentanyl-experienced mice. Male and female C57/BL6 mice self-administered intravenous fentanyl (1.5 μg/kg/infusion) or saline for 10 days. After 24 h abstinence, VTA nuclei were isolated and prepared for sequencing on the 10× platform. We identified different patterns of gene expression across cell types. In dopamine neurons, we found enrichment of genes involved in growth hormone signalling. In dopamine-glutamate-GABA combinatorial neurons, and some GABA neurons, we found enrichment of genes involved in Pi3k-Akt signalling. In glutamate neurons, we found enrichment of genes involved in cholinergic signalling. We identified transcriptional regulators for the differentially expressed genes in each neuron cluster, including downregulated transcriptional repressor Bcl6, and upregulated transcription factor Tcf4. We also compared the fentanyl-induced gene expression changes identified in mouse VTA with a published rat dataset in bulk VTA, and found overlap in genes related to GABAergic signalling and extracellular matrix interaction.

Several studies have reported changes in functional connectivity (FC) in CUD, although none have focused on the study of time-varying patterns of FC. To fill this important gap of knowledge, 39 individuals at risk for CUD and 55 controls, stratified by their score on a self-screening questionnaire for cannabis-related problems (CUDIT-R), underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. Dynamic functional connectivity (dFNC) was estimated using independent component analysis, sliding-time window correlations, cluster states and meta-state indices of global dynamics and were compared among groups. At-risk individuals stayed longer in a cluster state with higher within and reduced between network dFNC for the subcortical, sensory-motor, visual, cognitive-control and default-mode networks, relative to controls. More globally, at-risk individuals had a greater number of meta-states and transitions between them and a longer state span and total distance between meta-states in the state space.

The current study investigated the impact of spontaneous withdrawal from chronic morphine exposure on emotional, motivational and cognitive processes involved in regulating the pursuit and consumption of food rewards in male rats. In Experiment 1, rats experiencing acute morphine withdrawal lost weight and displayed somatic signs of drug dependence. However, hedonically driven sucrose consumption was significantly elevated, suggesting intact and potentially heightened reward processing. In Experiment 2, rats undergoing acute morphine withdrawal displayed reduced motivation when performing an effortful response for palatable food reward. Subsequent reward devaluation testing revealed that acute withdrawal disrupted their ability to exert flexible goal-directed control over reward seeking. Specifically, morphine-withdrawn rats were impaired in using current reward value to select actions both when relying on prior action-outcome learning and when given direct feedback about the consequences of their actions. In Experiment 3, rats tested after prolonged morphine withdrawal displayed heightened rather than diminished motivation for food rewards and retained their ability to engage in flexible goal-directed action selection. However, brief re-exposure to morphine was sufficient to impair motivation and disrupt goal-directed action selection, though in this case, rats were only impaired in using reward value to select actions in the presence of morphine-paired context cues and in the absence of response-contingent feedback.
