Project description:Opioid analgesics are frequently prescribed in the United States and worldwide. However, serious side effects such as addiction, immunosuppression and gastrointestinal symptoms limit long term use. In the current study using a chronic morphine-murine model a longitudinal approach was undertaken to investigate the role of morphine modulation of gut microbiome as a mechanism contributing to the negative consequences associated with opioids use. The results revealed a significant shift in the gut microbiome and metabolome within 24 hours following morphine treatment when compared to placebo. Morphine induced gut microbial dysbiosis exhibited distinct characteristic signatures profiles including significant increase in communities associated with pathogenic function, decrease in communities associated with stress tolerance. Collectively, these results reveal opioids-induced distinct alteration of gut microbiome, may contribute to opioids-induced pathogenesis. Therapeutics directed at these targets may prolong the efficacy long term opioid use with fewer side effects.

Project description:Opioids are powerful analgesics but carry many contingencies that can lead to opioid-use disorder. Significant energy has been invested in understanding the molecular actions of the opioid alkaloids, particularly their relationship with the opioid receptors at the cell surface. However, there is growing awareness of the opioid-receptor-independent and intracellular actions of opioids that may contribute to their overall pharmacology. The investigation of these interactions is stymied by a lack of relevant opioid chemical tools to probe intracellular actions of the opioids. To investigate the intracellular interactions of the opioids, we designed and developed two opioid probes: photo-click morphine (PCM-2) as a photo-affinity probe for morphine and dialkynyl-acetyl morphine (DAAM) as a metabolic acetate reporter for heroin. Application of these probes to SH-SY5Y, HEK293T, and U2OS cells revealed that PCM-2 and DAAM primarily localize to the lysosome by confocal microscopy and chemical proteomics studies. Interaction site identification by mass spectrometry revealed the mitochondria phosphate carrier protein, solute carrier family 25 member 3, SLC25A3, and histone H2B as acetylation targets of DAAM. This study provides the first chemical probes for the study of the intracellular targets of opioid alkaloids.

Project description:Opioids analgesics are frequently prescribed in the United States and worldwide. However, serious side effects such as addiction, immunosuppression and gastrointestinal symptoms limit their use. It has been recently demonstrated that morphine treatment results in significant disruption in gut barrier function leading to increased translocation of gut commensal bacteria. Further study indicated distinct alterations in the gut microbiome and metabolome following morphine treatment, contributing to the negative consequences associated with opioid use. However, it is unclear how opioids modulate gut homeostasis in the context of a hospital acquired bacterial infection. In the current study, a mouse model of C. rodentium infection was used to investigate the role of morphine in the modulation of gut homeostasis in the context of a hospital acquired bacterial infection. Citrobacter rodentium is a natural mouse pathogen that models intestinal infection by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) and enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) and causes attaching and effacing lesions and colonic hyperplasia. Morphine treatment resulted in 1) the promotion of C. rodentium systemic dissemination, 2) increase in virulence factors expression with C. rodentium colonization in intestinal contents, 3) altered gut microbiome, 4) damaged integrity of gut epithelial barrier function, 5) inhibition of C. rodentium-induced increase in goblet cells, and 6) dysregulated IL-17A immune response. This is the first study to demonstrate that morphine promotes pathogen dissemination in the context of intestinal C. rodentium infection, indicating morphine modulates virulence factor-mediated adhesion of pathogenic bacteria and induces disruption of mucosal host defense during C. rodentium intestinal infection in mice. This study demonstrates and further validates a positive correlation between opioid drug use/abuse and increased risk of infections, suggesting over-prescription of opioids may increase the risk in the emergence of pathogenic strains and should be used cautiously. Therapeutics directed at maintaining gut homeostasis during opioid use may reduce the comorbidities associated with opioid use for pain management.

Project description:The United States is currently facing a severe opioid epidemic, therefore addressing how opioids induce rewarding behaviors could be key to a solution for this medical and societal crisis. Recently, the endogenous cannabinoid system has emerged as a hot topic in the study of opioid reward but relatively little is known about how chronic opioid exposure may affect this system. In the present study, we investigated how chronic morphine may modulate the endogenous cannabinoid system in the ventral tegmental area (VTA), a critical region in the mesolimbic reward circuitry. Our studies found that the VTA expresses 32 different proteins or genes related to the endogenous cannabinoid system; 3 of these proteins or genes were significantly affected after chronic morphine exposure. We also investigated the effects of acute and chronic morphine treatment on the production of the primary endocannabinoids, 2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and anandamide (AEA), and identified that acute, but not chronic, morphine treatment significantly reduced AEA production in the VTA; 2-AG levels were unchanged in either condition. Lastly, our studies exhibited a systemic enhancement of 2-AG tone via inhibition of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL)-mediated degradation and the pharmacological activation of cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R) significantly suppressed chronic morphine-induced conditioned place preference. Taken together, our studies offer a broad picture of chronic morphine-induced alterations of the VTA endogenous cannabinoid system, provide several uncharacterized targets that could be used to develop novel therapies, and identify how manipulation of the endocannabinoid system can mitigate opioid reward to directly address the ongoing opioid epidemic.

Project description:In addition to their intrinsic rewarding properties. opioids can also evoke aversive reactions that protect against misuse. Cellular mechanisms that govern the interplay between opioid reward and aversion are poorly understood. We used whole-brain activity mapping to show that neurons in the dorsal peduncular nucleus (DPn) are highly responsive to the opioid oxycodone. Connectomic profiling revealed that DPn neurons innervate the parabrachial nucleus (PBn). Spatial and single-nuclei transcriptomics resolved a unique population of PBn-projecting pyramidal neurons restricted to the DPn that express μ-opioid receptors (μORs). Disrupting μOR signaling in these neurons switched oxycodone from rewarding to aversive and exacerbated the severity of opioid withdrawal. These findings identify DPn neurons as key substrates for the abuse liability of opioids.

Project description:Opioid use is associated with worse outcome in HIV-infected patients. The exacerbated disease progression by opioids is mainly driven by increased epithelial damage and less regenerative response. The present study investigates how opioids potentiate HIV disease progression by impairing intestinal epithelial self-repair. Abnormal intestinal morphology and reduced epithelial proliferation were observed in HIV-infected humanized mice, which were exposed to opioids. For this study, we had 4 groups of BLT humanized mice- (A) Untreated, (B) Morphine treated, (C) HIV infected and (D) HIV infected + Morphine treated. HIV infection was done for 4 weeks and Morphine treatment was done for 7 days. Morphine treatment was done via subcutaneous implantation of slow-release morphine pellet in individual mouse in the appropriate groups. In other groups, a matching Placebo pellet was implanted.

Project description:The development of physical dependence and addiction disorders due to misuse of opioid analgesics is a major concern with pain therapeutics. In this study, we developed a mouse model of oxycodone exposure to gain insight into genes and molecular pathways in reward-related brain regions that are affected by prolonged exposure to oxycodone and subsequent withdrawal in the presence or absence of chronic neuropathic pain. RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) and bioinformatic analyses revealed that oxycodone withdrawal alone triggers robust gene expression adaptations in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and ventral tegmental area (VTA), with numerous genes and pathways selectively affected by oxycodone withdrawal under peripheral nerve injury states. Our pathway analysis predicted that histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1), an epigenetic modifier with a prominent role in striatal plasticity, is a top upstream regulator in opioid withdrawal in both the NAc and mPFC. Indeed, treatment with the novel HDAC1/2 inhibitor RBC1HI (Regenacy Brain Class 1 HDAC Inhibitor) attenuated behavioral manifestations of oxycodone withdrawal, with the drug being more efficacious under states of neuropathic pain. Since RBC1HI displays antiallodynic actions in models of neuropathic pain, inhibition of HDAC1/2 may provide an avenue for chronic pain patients dependent on opioids to transition to non-opioid analgesics. Overall, our study highlights transcriptomic events in components of the reward circuitry associated with oxycodone withdrawal under pain-free and prolonged neuropathic pain states, thereby providing information on possible new targets for the treatment of physical dependence to opioids and transitioning individuals to non-opioid medications for chronic pain management.

Project description:Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma (CCPRCC) is a low-grade renal neoplasm with morphological characteristics mimicking both clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) and papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC). However, despite some overlapping features, their morphological, immunohistochemical, and molecular profiles are distinct. To better understand the biology of this tumor, we analyze the miRNA expression profiles of a set of CCPRCC by microarrays.
