Transcriptional characterization of cocaine withdrawal versus extinction within nucleus accumbens

ABSTRACT: Neurobiological alterations seen in addiction amplify during abstinence and compromise relapse prevention. Cocaine use disorder (CUD) exemplifies this phenomenon in which reward regions such as nucleus accumbens (NAc) undergo withdrawal-associated modifications. While genome-wide transcriptional changes in NAc are linked to specific addiction phases, these have not been examined in a context- and NAc-subregion-specific manner during withdrawal vs. extinction. We used cocaine self-administration in rats combined with RNA-sequencing of NAc core and shell to transcriptionally profile withdrawal in the home-cage, in the previous drug context, or after extinction. As expected, home-cage withdrawal maintained drug seeking, whereas extinction reduced it. Conversely, withdrawal involving the drug context increased seeking. Bioinformatic analyses revealed specific gene expression patterns and networks associated with these states. Comparing NAc datasets of CUD patients highlighted conserved transcriptomic signatures with rats experiencing withdrawal in the drug context. Together, this work reveals fundamental mechanisms that can be targeted to attenuate relapse.

Characterization of molecular signature in mice that experienced an hostile social environment during cocaine abstinence

Project description:Childhood maltreatment is associated with increased severity of substance use disorder and frequency of relapse to drug use following abstinence. However, the molecular and neurobiological substrates engaged during early traumatic events and mediating the relapse risk are poorly understood. Here, we show that the exposure to an adverse/hostile social experience in juvenile mice (social stressed mice, SS) influences the propensity to reinstate cocaine seeking after withdrawal periods. This effect is associated with an increased blood coagulation and a pauperization of brain vasculature. Moreover, a treatment with an anticoagulant agent during withdrawal abolishes the susceptibility to reinstate cocaine seeking in SS mice. These findings for the first time propose a molecular mechanism contributing to the increased susceptibility to relapse into cocaine abuse observed in individuals who had experienced childhood maltreatment. To analyze global gene expression differences between mice experiencing an hostile/adverse social environment during the third postnatal week and juvenile social isolated (SI) mice during cocaine abstinence. Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells were measured with Agilent mouse gene expression microarray during cocaine abstince after undergoing cocaine-seeking behavior studies by conditioned place preference test, extinction and withdrawal. Blood was collected 24 hours after the extinction test and genome-wide

Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor reduces cocaine-seeking and downregulates glutamatergic synaptic proteins in medial prefrontal cortex

Project description:Abstract Background Psychostimulant use disorder is a major public health issue, and despite the scope of the problem there are currently no FDA approved treatments. There would be tremendous utility in development of a treatment that could help patients both achieve and maintain abstinence. Previous work from our group has identified granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) as a neuroactive cytokine that alters behavioral response to cocaine, increases synaptic dopamine release, and enhances cognitive flexibility. Here, we investigate the role of G-CSF in affecting extinction and reinstatement of cocaine-seeking and perform detailed characterization of its proteomic effects in multiple limbic substructures. Methods Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with PBS or G-CSF during (1) extinction or (2) abstinence from cocaine self-administration, and drug seeking behavior was measured. Quantitative assessment of changes in the proteomic landscape in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) were performed via data-independent acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry analysis. Results Administration of G-CSF during extinction accelerated the rate of extinction, and administration during abstinence attenuated cue-induced cocaine-seeking. Analysis of global protein expression demonstrated that G-CSF regulated proteins primarily in mPFC that are critical to glutamate signaling and synapse maintenance. Conclusion Taken together, these findings support G-CSF as a viable translational research target with the potential to reduce drug craving or seeking behaviors. Importantly, recombinant G-CSF exists as an FDA-approved medication which may facilitate rapid clinical translation. Additionally, using cutting-edge multi-region discovery proteomics analyses, these studies identify a novel mechanism underlying G-CSF effects on behavioral plasticity.

NPAS4 controls cell type-specific circuit adaptations underlying drug-seeking behavior

Project description:Use of addictive substances often creates powerful and enduring associations with external cues that act as relapse triggers in individuals recovering from a substance use disorder (SUD). In the reward-associated brain region, the nucleus accumbens (NAc), drug use or drug-associated cue exposure activates a subset of D1 dopamine receptor-expressing medium spiny neurons (D1-MSNs), which typically promotes drug seeking, and a smaller subset of D2 dopamine receptor-expressing MSNs (D2-MSNs), which typically opposes drug seeking. The activity-regulated transcription factor, Neuronal PAS Domain Protein 4 (NPAS4), is activated in a small subset of NAc neurons during cocaine conditioning, and NAc NPAS4 is required for drug-context memories. Using a new Npas4-TRAP mouse combined with chemogenetics, we found that the during cocaine conditioning, the NPAS4-positive ensemble is required for drug-context associations. Single-cell transcriptomic analyses and in situ hybridization of NAc tissues from drug-conditioned mice revealed that NPAS4 is expressed predominantly in MSNs, and using cell type-specific molecular genetic approaches, we found that NPAS4 in D2-MSNs, but not D1-MSNs, was required for both drug-context associations and cue-reinstated cocaine seeking. Similarly, NPAS4 in NAc D2-MSNs, but not D1-MSNs, blocked cocaine experience-dependent strengthening of glutamatergic prefrontal cortical (PFC) inputs onto D2-MSNs. Analysis of differential gene expression in D2-MSNs revealed that NPAS4 and cocaine conditioning influence a gene expression program associated with synapses, dendrites, neuronal projections, dopamine, and cocaine. Together, our data reveal that NPAS4 functions during active cocaine use to maintain the imbalance of D1-MSN:D2-MSN activation and cue-induced drug seeking by suppressing excitatory drive onto relapse-opposing NAc D2-MSN circuits.

Heightened Cocaine-Seeking in Male Rats Associates with a Distinct Transcriptomic Profile in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex

Project description:Drug overdose deaths involving cocaine have skyrocketed, an outcome attributable in part to the lack of FDA-approved medications for the treatment of cocaine use disorder (CUD), highlighting the need to identify new pharmacotherapeutic targets. Vulnerability to cocaine-associated environmental contexts and stimuli serves as a risk factor for relapse in CUD recovery, with individual differences evident in the motivational aspects of these cues. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) provides top-down control of striatal circuitry to regulate the incentive-motivational properties of cocaine-associated stimuli. Clinical and preclinical studies have identified genetic variations that impact the degree of executive restraint over drug-motivated behaviors, and we designed the present study to employ next-generation sequencing to identify specific genes associated with heightened cue-evoked cocaine-seeking in the mPFC of male, outbred rats. Rats were trained to stably self-administer cocaine, and baseline cue-reinforced cocaine-seeking was established. Rats were phenotyped as either high cue (HC) or low cue (LC) responders based upon lever pressing for previously associated cocaine cues and allowed 10 days of abstinence in their home cages prior to mPFC collection for RNA-sequencing. The expression of 309 genes in the mPFC was significantly different in HC vs. LC rats. Functional gene enrichment analyses identified ten biological processes that were overrepresented in the mPFC of HC vs. LC rats. The present study identifies distinctions in mPFC mRNA transcripts that characterizes individual differences in relapse-like behavior and provides prioritized candidates (i.e., Htr2c, Adora2a, Drd2) for future pharmacotherapeutics aimed to help maintain abstinence in CUD.

The effects of 24-hour withdrawal from cocaine on nucleus accumbens transcript expression.

Project description:The goal of the study was to determine how 24-hour withdrawal from cocaine affects the expression profile of transcripts in the nucleus accumbens using genome-wide RNA-sequencing. 11-week old male C57/BL6 mice were injected mice intraperitoneally (IP) with saline (0.9%) or cocaine (20 mg/kg dissolved in 0.9% saline) for 7-days consecutive days, and 24-hours after the last injection, NAc tissue was dissected. Mice were housed in group of 5 mice per cage, and all mice in a cage were injected with either saline or cocaine and thus there was no counter-balancing between groups.

Chromatin remodeler INO80 is essential for cocaine craving during prolonged withdrawal

Project description:Neuroadaptations in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) underlie cue-induced cocaine craving that intensifies (“incubates”) during withdrawal and contributes to persistent relapse vulnerability. Long-lasting gene changes govern perpetual behavioral abnormalities but the role of epigenetic plasticity in cocaine craving during prolonged withdrawal is poorly understood. Here we show that chromatin remodeler INO80 in the NAc mediates cocaine-induced, withdrawal-dependent plasticity and incubated cocaine craving.

Role of long non-coding RNA Gas5 in cocaine action

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of transcribed RNA molecules greater than 200 nucleotides long. Though do not encode proteins, they play functional roles in gene expression regulation. LncRNAs are notably abundant in the brain, however, their neural functions are largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that repeated short- and long-term cocaine administrations all decreased the expression of lncRNA Gas5 in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) of adult male mice. To illustrate the functional role of Gas5, we performed viral mediated overexpression of Gas5 in the NAc and found decreased cocaine-induced conditioned place preference. Furthermore, Gas5 overexpression also led to decreased drug intake, lower motivation, repressed compulsivity to acquire cocaine, and faster extinction of drug during cocaine self-administration. Transcriptome profiling identified numerous Gas5 mediated gene expression changes that are enriched in relevant neural function categories. Interestingly, these Gas5 regulated gene expression changes significantly overlap with chronic cocaine induced transcriptome alterations, which suggests that Gas5 may serve as a main transcription regulator of cocaine response. Our study therefore displays a novel lncRNA based molecular mechanism of cocaine action.
