Background:Anhedonia is frequently seen during withdrawal in alcoholics and patients with addiction and is also an important factor involved in relapse. Phencyclidine (PCP) produces psychotomimetic symptoms in humans and produces moderate anhedonia in rodents. We had previously reported that GluN2D knockout (KO) mice showed reduced behavioral responses to PCP and PCP-induced dopamine release in the striatum and these mice often did not show sensitization to PCP. The aim of the present study was to determine if deprivation of the GluN2D subunit can induce anhedonia that is similar to chronic PCP treatment-induced anhedonia.Methods: We generated PCP withdrawal model mice by subchronic PCP administration (5 mg/kg, s.c.) followed by a drug-free period. Using GluN2D KO mice and PCP withdrawal mice, we performed behavioral measurements of despair by using the sucrose preference test (for anhedonia) and the tail-suspension test (for the depressive-like state).Results: The motility of the GluN2D KO mice and PCP withdrawal mice significantly decreased in the tail-suspension test. CDPPB, a metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 positive allosteric modulator, increased the motility of both groups of mice. Sucrose intake was lower in male GluN2D KO mice and also decreased in male wild-type mice during PCP withdrawal. Agomelatine, an antidepressant, improved the sucrose intake in GluN2D KO mice. The behavioral scores for anhedonia were not correlated with those for the depressive like state.Conclusions:These results show that GluN2D KO mice seem to develop a depressive-like state with anhedonia and that agomelatine therapy improves the behavioral scores for these conditions. Genetic deprivation of GluN2D subunits and subchronic inhibition of NMDA receptor function by PCP in wild-type mice produced similar emotional states, suggesting that GluN2D subunits are related to depression with anhedonia, it should be possible to develop efficacious therapies with new mechanisms.

The mesolimbic dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) are important for addictive behaviors induced by drugs of abuse, including cocaine. The VTA DA neurons receive cholinergic inputs mainly from the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus (LDT) in the pons, which is critical for regulating the activity of VTA DA neurons. However, it remains unclear whether cholinergic transmission from the LDT to the VTA is involved in cocaine-induced addiction. We addressed this issue using a cocaine-induced place preference paradigm that consists of acquisition (i.e., conditioning session) and expression (i.e., post test session) phases. Intra-LDT injection of carbachol, which is known to inhibit the activity of LDT neurons, just before the cocaine conditioning significantly reduced the cocaine-induced place preference. Additionally, scopolamine or mecamylamine injected into the VTA prior to the cocaine conditioning also remarkably attenuated the place preference induced by cocaine. These results indicate that activity of LDT cholinergic neurons and accompanying signal transmission through muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the VTA are necessary for the acquisition of cocaine-induced place preference. We also found that intra-VTA injection of scopolamine or mecamylamine immediately before the post test session significantly reduced the cocaine-induced place preference, indicating that the LDT-VTA cholinergic transmission is also critical for the expression of cocaine place preference. Thus, these results suggest that the brainstem cholinergic system may play a crucial role in developing cocaine-induced addiction.

Methamphetamine is an addictive psychostimulant due to increase in dopamine in the synaptic cleft. This drug of abuse impairs the neural circuits such as rewarding system in the brain, and dysfunction of these regions persists over long term. Although the neural mechanisms underlying addiction to methamphetamine remain unclear, increasing evidence indicates the account of neuroinflammation. In general concepts, microglia and astrocytes produce several inflammatory molecules including cytokines and chemokines, and interact with neurons. These phenomena underlie neurodegenerative disorders in the central nervous system. In this study, we focused on the pathological roles of chemokines in addiction to methamphetamine using C57BL mice. Addictive behavior to methamphetamine was evaluated by conditioned place preference (CPP) test. Biological assays were performed according to conventional procedures. Subcutaneous administration of methamphetamine (0.3-3 mg/kg) caused CPP in a dose dependent manner. The mRNA expression of CC-chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2; also named monocyte chemoattractant protein-1) was markedly increased one hour after methamphetamine administration in the prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens. Expression of CC-chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) which is principal receptor for CCL2 was observed in these brain regions. Minocycline (40 mg/kg), an inhibitor of microglia activation, prevented the upregulation of CCL2 and the CPP to methamphetamine. Furthermore, CCR2 antagonist RS504393 diminished the CPP to methamphetamine. Taken together, we hypothesize that exposure to methamphetamine increased in the amount of CCL2 in rewarding system, and the CCL2 participates in the development of addiction to methamphetamine through CCR2. Therefore, blockade of CCL2/CCR2 cascade in the brain might be effective therapeutic approach for drug abuse.

It is postulated that mild oxidative stress induced by social or physical stress may not induce cell death but contribute to numerous cellular events. Acute cocaine administration at moderate dose also induces a mild and transient oxidative stress in the striatum, and the combination of cocaine administration and social/physical stress promotes cocaine addiction. However, how mild oxidative stress is involved in cocaine-induced pathophysiology needs to be clarified. In this study, we tried to address issue by transiently reducing the most abundant endogenous antioxidant in the brain, glutathione (GSH) using a GSH synthesis inhibitor, 2-cyclohexene-1-one (CHX). We tried to examine the effect of CHX that reduced the level of GSH around 20% on cocaine-induced locomotor activity and stereotypy. Pretreatment of CHX (25 mg/kg, i.p.) 1hr before cocaine challenge (15 mg/kg, i.p.) enhanced locomotor activity compared to vehicle-pretreated rats, but stereotypy was not affected. As cocaine was repeatedly administrated for consecutive 7 days, both locomotor activity and stereotype were sensitized in the control group, whereas in the CHX group locomotor activity was not sensitized any more while stereotypy was sensitized as the control group. At this point, there was no difference of stereotypy between two groups. After 3 weeks of withdrawal period, both locomotor activity and stereotype were still sensitized in both groups, however, stereotypy was more enhanced in CHX-pretreated rats compared to control rats. Of note, the basal level of GSH in CHX group was not affected 1 day after the last CHX + cocaine administration compared to the control group. Thus, a single CHX administration immediately sensitized cocaine-induced locomotor activity, but not stereotypy. Meanwhile, the effect of repeated CHX pretreatment later appeared only on stereotypy, suggesting dissociable effects of mild and short-term oxidative stress on locomotor activity and stereotypy.

The abuse of methamphetamine (Meth) has significantly psychiatric and medical consequences, including dependence, psychosis and even death. A novel molecule shati/nat8l has been identified from the nucleus accumbens (NAc) of mice treated with Meth. We have reported that shati depresses Meth-induced hyperlocomotion and preference via dopaminergic neuronal regulations. However, it is not clear where and/or how shati/nat8l works for anti-addictive action of in the brain. In this study, overexpression of shati/nat8l in the NAc or dorsal striatum (dS) of mice with limited area of brain using adenoassociated virus (AAV) vectors. Only in NAc-overexpressed-shati suppressed Meth-induced hyperlocomotion, sensitization and place preference in mice, not in dS. Moreover, in vivo microdialysis method revealed that overexpression of shati in the NAc inhibits Meth-induced increase of DA release. These effects of inducible shati were canceled by the selective group 2 metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR2 and mGluR3) antagonist LY341495. Elevations of N-acetylaspartate and N-acetylaspartylglutamate (NAAG) contents were observed in the AAV vectors injected NAc. Injection of NAAG itself or its inhibitors, reduced DA release from the NAc by using microdialysis. These results indicate that shati in the NAc, but not in the dS, plays an important suppressive role in the action of Meth-induced behaviors by mediating extracellular DA levels via mGluR3.Keywords: drug dependence, methamphetamine, shati, nucleus accumbens, dorsal striatum, dopamine, metabotropic glutamate receptor 3, N-acetylaspartate, N-acetylaspartylglutamate.

[Purpose] Although many athletes and addicts use nootropics in anticipation of improving brain function, few brain-imaging studies have examined either the effects or adverse effects of nootropics. Such data might represent objective evaluations that could support decisions to prohibit or regulate the use of noortropics in the field of athletics. [Methods] In this study we estimated the change of binding potential (BP) of dopamine D2 receptor in the striatum by [11C]raclopride in direct measurement of dopamine release of mazindol (N=10) and caffeine (N=5), and the change in BP of dopamine transporter (DAT) in the striatum by [18F] FE-PE2I as measurement of the inhibitory effect of DAT by bupropion (N=5) and modafinil (N=9). All subjects gave written informed consent prior to participation in the study. All participants underwent positron emission tomography (PET) scan two times (baseline and during medication). In medicated condition, PET scan was started at the time of maximum concentration. All subjects underwent structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for analysis of PET. BP change was calculated by the following equation: change of BP(%)=(BPbase-BPdrug)-BPbasex100. The present study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Nippon Medical School. [Results] The change in BP of dopamine D2 receptor was 0.3% by 186mg of caffeine, -2.0% by 0.5mg of mazindol, and -7.8% by 1.5mg of mazindol. The change in BP of DAT was -18.2% by 150mg of bupropion, -47.2% by 200mg of modafinil, and -67.0% by 300mg of modafinil.[Discussion] In this study, we could detect the effect of nootropics on dopaminergic pathways. Thus nootropics, even if given at a single oral dose, affected brain function. This method of evaluating dopaminergic neurotransmission may lead to major progresses in understanding the effects and risks of doping by nootropics.

Addiction of methamphetamine (METH) is worldwide health and social problems to relate serious psychiatric and medical symptoms. Nevertheless, there is currently no effective pharmacological treatment for METH-induced addiction. Pseudoginsenoside-F11 (PF11), an ocotillol type saponin, isolated from Panax quinquefolium L (American ginseng). The previous study has demonstrated that PF11 has neuronal protective effect, and promoted learning and memory. It has been also reported that PF11 antagonized pharmacological effects of morphine, such as analgesia and analgesia tolerance. However, the effect of PF11 on drug addiction is still unknown. In this study, we investigated to clarify the effect of PF11 on METH-induced dependence in mice. Single pretreatment with PF11 (4 and 8 mg/kg, p.o.) failed to attenuate hyperlocomotion induced by single METH administration (1 mg/kg, s.c.). On the other hand, repeated pretreatment with PF11 (4 and 8 mg/kg/day, p.o.) prior to continuous METH administration (1 mg/kg/day, s.c., for 6 days) showed the tendency to attenuate METH-induced locomotor sensitization. In the conditioned place preference test, the pretreatment with PF11 (4 and 8 mg/kg/day, p.o.) inhibited METH (1 mg/kg, s.c.)-induced place preference. These results suggest that PF11 possesses the inhibitive effect on METH-induced addiction. We have next plan to test the change of extracellular neurotransmitter level after repeated co-administration of PF11 and METH administration.

Drug addiction is a brain disease, which behavioral formation or expression is thought to have certain neurobiological mechanisms of synaptic plasticity subserve the corresponding neuroadaptation. Most of the addictive drugs exert their effects in the mesocorticolimbic dopamine system in the brain. Nowadays, besides the search for functional roles of dopamine in the development of drug addiction, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is also thought to be participated in this drug-induced behavioral changes and synaptic plasticity. In order to investigate the interactions between the dopamine and BDNF involved in drug addiction behavior, the amphetamine (1.0 mg/kg; ip) induce conditioned place preference (CPP) was used in the present study. Then, the expressions of BDNF mRNA in the medial prefrontal cortex, caudate nucleus, nucleus accumbens, hippocampus and amygdala were examined at two stages: the CPP performance and the reinstatement of CPP after lower doses of amphetamine challenge (0, 0.5, 0.75 mg/kg; ip). Results showed that the amphetamine CPP was significantly formed via the association of drug effect paired with a specific context as preferred in comparing to saline vehicle pairing the other context. Following an extinction protocol, the extinguished CPP was reinstated by amphetamine given at 0.75 mg/kg but not 0.5 mg/kg. BDNF expression, over all regions tested, was not changed at the stage of CPP performance. In contrast, the BDNF mRNA significantly increased in the medial prefrontal cortex after the CPP reinstatement test. Such effect was not found in other regions. Taken together, these data indicate that the endogenous BDNF mRNA in the medial prefrontal cortex is involved in the drug-priming reinstatement of amphetamine CPP.

Modulation of opiate-induced locomotion by hippocampal NMDA receptors and environmental experience
○Adam Weitemier1, Thomas J. McHugh1

The behavioral actions of opiates can be modulated by behavioral state, number of exposures and associative learning. To understand the role of hippocampal NMDA glutamate receptors in the acute and chronic actions of opiates with or without prior environmental experience, we monitored locomotor activity after administration of saline vehicle or 0.2 mg/kg fentanyl, a mu-opioid receptor agonist, in mice lacking the NR1 subunit of the NMDA receptor in the hippocampal CA3 region (CA3-NR1 KO) and wildtype littermates. After saline injection CA3-NR1 KO mice exhibited generally higher locomotor activity than littermate control mice over all daily 30-minute sessions. After fentanyl administration CA3-NR1 KO mice exhibited an exaggerated acute locomotor response and were also more prone to develop locomotor sensitization, a form of behavioral adaptation after chronic exposure to addictive drugs. After four daily habituation trials to the experimental arena, the locomotor response to first-exposure fentanyl was increased in control mice, but not CA3-NR1 KO mice. These results suggest that hippocampal NMDA receptors can modulate the acute behavioral effects of opiate drugs and also adaptations to chronic opiate exposure. Environmental experience can modulate the acute opiate response as well. Functional interactions between the hippocampus and brain systems more directly implicated in opiate effects such as the mesolimbic dopamine system and striatal circuitry may underlie these results.
