Mirtazapine attenuates the cocaine-induced locomotor sensitization in male and female C57BL/6J and BALBA/cJ mouse
Background
Clinical studies have described the efficacy of various therapeutic approaches. Results are inconsistent and clinical application is limited. Clinical trials have suggested that individual variability in the response to pharmacological therapies and sex affects the efficacy of some antidepressant drugs. Mouse strain-dependent variability influenced the response to antidepressant drugs. Some mouse strains respond faster and better to antidepressants than other mouse strains. We recently reported a series of preclinical studies that showed that dosing of mirtazapine, a noradrenergic and serotonergic antidepressant, in male and female Wistar rats decreased cocaine-induced locomotor activity and attenuated the induction and expression of cocaine-induced locomotor sensitization. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the mirtazapine effects, on cocaine-induced locomotor activity and cocaine-induced locomotor sensitization in male and female mice of the C57BL/6J and BALB/cJ strains, which differ in sensitivity to the cocaine motor effects and response to antidepressant drugs.
Methods
Male and female BALB/cJ and C57BL/6J inbred mice (20–25 g) were daily dosed with 10 mg/kg of cocaine during the induction and expression of locomotor sensitization. During drug withdrawal, cocaine was withdrawn, and the groups received daily mirtazapine (30 mg/kg, i.p.) or saline. Mirtazapine was administered 30 min before cocaine. After each administration, locomotor activity for each animal was recorded for 30 min in transparent Plexiglass activity chambers.
Results
Cocaine-induced locomotor activity were greater in C57BL/6J strain mice than BALB/cJ strain mice during the induction and expression phase of locomotor sensitization. The female mice of both strains showed a higher cocaine locomotor response than males and mirtazapine significantly decreased cocaine-induced locomotor activity, as well as the induction and expression of locomotor sensitization, regardless of mouse strain or sex.
Conclusion
The results suggest mirtazapine may be considered an effective therapeutic option to treat cocaine use disorder in men and women with very diverse genetic backgrounds.
期刊介绍:
Pharmacology Biochemistry & Behavior publishes original reports in the areas of pharmacology and biochemistry in which the primary emphasis and theoretical context are behavioral. Contributions may involve clinical, preclinical, or basic research. Purely biochemical or toxicology studies will not be published. Papers describing the behavioral effects of novel drugs in models of psychiatric, neurological and cognitive disorders, and central pain must include a positive control unless the paper is on a disease where such a drug is not available yet. Papers focusing on physiological processes (e.g., peripheral pain mechanisms, body temperature regulation, seizure activity) are not accepted as we would like to retain the focus of Pharmacology Biochemistry & Behavior on behavior and its interaction with the biochemistry and neurochemistry of the central nervous system. Papers describing the effects of plant materials are generally not considered, unless the active ingredients are studied, the extraction method is well described, the doses tested are known, and clear and definite experimental evidence on the mechanism of action of the active ingredients is provided.
