We aimed to assess the association of alcohol consumption and circulating miRNAs in the Multiethnic Cohort Study. Participants (N = 917) had alcohol consumption data collected at baseline and miRNA data collected at follow-up. Negative binomial models were used to assess the association between alcohol consumption (continuous and categorical [nondrinkers: 0 g of ethanol/day; light drinkers: &lt;28 g of ethanol/day for men and &lt;14 g of ethanol/day for women; and heavy drinkers: ≥28 g of ethanol/day for men and ≥14 g of ethanol/day for women]) and miRNAs. Stratified analyses also examined categories by sex, race/ethnicity, smoking status, and body mass index. Overall, there were 52% non-drinkers, 37 % light drinkers, and 11 % were heavy drinkers. We did not detect an association of miRNAs with alcohol intake in continuous models after correcting for multiple comparisons. However, we did find an inverse association for light drinkers [incidence rate ratio (IRR) = 0.59, p = 8.21E-04] and heavy drinkers (IRR = 0.44, p = 1.47E-03) compared to nondrinkers for miR-451a.

Subgroup analysis also suggested there were differences by subgroups, underscoring that miRNAs used to detect chronic diseases may be subgroup specific. When stratified by case-control status, we found that among controls both light and heavy drinkers were associated with miR-451a.

Preclinical screening for pharmacological treatments for AUD has typically focused solely on males, ignoring the possibility that males and females may differ mechanistically for the same behavioral phenotype. To ensure the efficacy of treatment targets across the sexes, it is crucial to study the pharmacological effects of AUD treatments in males and females. While positive K_Ca2 channel modulation can reduce ethanol consumption and seeking behaviors, withdrawal-induced hyperexcitability, and negative affective behaviors in male rodents, the effect of K_Ca2 channel modulation on female ethanol consumption has not been reported. To determine the efficacy of K_Ca2 channel positive modulation in female C57BL/6J mice, we assessed the ability of the K_Ca2 channel positive modulator 1-EBIO to affect locomotor activity, voluntary home cage ethanol intake prior to and following chronic intermittent ethanol (CIE) exposure, and voluntary home cage sucrose drinking. There were no significant changes to distance traveled in an open field apparatus following administration of 1-EBIO in our locomotor assay. In ethanol drinking mice, 1-EBIO significantly reduced ethanol consumption in air controls and CIE exposed mice, without altering water consumption. While administration of 1-EBIO did not affect consumption of sucrose in male mice, 1-EBIO significantly increased sucrose intake in females. Together, these data provide further evidence that K_Ca2 channel positive modulation is a promising therapeutic target to reduce ethanol drinking in males and females alike.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7712,"journal":{"name":"Alcohol","volume":"124 ","pages":"Pages 97-103"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143048277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many investigators support the theory of a reciprocal relationship between disrupted circadian rhythms, sleep patterns, and alcohol usage. However, in human studies it is difficult to disentangle other factors (i.e. lifestyle, psychiatric, genetic) when determining what is causal in the relationship between substance use and sleep/activity disruptions. To this end, we used an animal model of adolescent alcohol exposure whereby male and female Wistar rats are exposed to 5 weeks of intermittent alcohol vapor during adolescence (P22-P57). Five days after ethanol vapor rats were allowed to select to drink alcohol or water in a two-bottle choice procedure for a period of 5 h, 4 days a week for 6 weeks. Activity data was collected using a “Fitbit-like” device during vapor exposure, during acute withdrawal, and after 3 weeks of protracted withdrawal. Significant changes in rest/wake activity and circadian measures were seen during 24-h withdrawal and after 3 weeks of withdrawal. Four weeks following withdrawal, the effects of the dual orexin antagonist, Daridorexant, (DAX 30 mg, 100 mg, or vehicle control), on alcohol drinking and rest and activity rhythms were assessed over a 24 h period. Both daridorexant doses led to changes in circadian measures and rest/wake activity patterns. These results showed that daridorexant reduced activity, but it did not improve rest quality as measured by the mean inactive episode duration and inactive fragmentation ratio. Additionally, we did not find a significant difference in drinking behavior in animals treated with the orexin antagonist. Thus, it appears that data from this animal model do not support the use of this drug to improve adolescent alcohol-induced sleep disturbance and/or to decrease alcohol drinking.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7712,"journal":{"name":"Alcohol","volume":"124 ","pages":"Pages 35-46"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143054176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our goal was to determine how alcohol exposure by each parent or both parents influences the behavior of the offspring. We found that adolescent male offspring of alcohol-exposed fathers showed reduced anxiety-like behaviors as they spent more time in the center of the testing arena during the open field test. Both maternal and paternal alcohol exposure caused sex-specific increases in the nestlet shredding test while decreasing the number of buried marbles in the marble burying test. Interestingly, dual-parental alcohol exposure did not produce any significant changes in these same tests. However, during novel object recognition testing, we found that dual-parental male and female offspring exhibit an increased preference for novel objects, suggesting an increased risk preference. Finally, at sixteen weeks, male offspring of dual-exposed parents exhibited decreased voluntary physical activity on running wheels during the active phase, suggesting alterations in their circadian rhythms. Although differences in parental exposure histories between treatment groups make interpretation challenging, our findings suggest that exposure to alcohol by both parents may have unique effects on behavior and that studying both maternal and paternal alcohol use is essential for understanding the full range of factors influencing the penetrance and severity of alcohol-related phenotypes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7712,"journal":{"name":"Alcohol","volume":"124 ","pages":"Pages 65-77"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143043906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
