Project description:Male mice, female mice, ovariectomized female mice given placebo pellets, and ovariectomized female mice given extradiol pellets were treated with experimenter-administered saline or cocaine for 7 days, and behaviorally monitored. After a 28 day withdrawal period, RNA samples were prepared from nucleus accumbens and subjected to RNA-Seq, followed by differential expression analyses using Cuffdiff, Limma and DESeq2. Selected transcripts were further investigated using quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

Project description:Substance use disorder (SUD) is a chronic neuropsychiatric condition characterized by long-lasting alterations in the neural circuitry regulating reward and motivation. Substantial work has focused on characterizing the molecular substrates which underlie these persistent changes in neural function and behavior; however, this work has overwhelmingly focused on male subjects, despite mounting clinical and preclinical evidence that females demonstrate dissimilar progression to SUD and responsivity to drugs of abuse, such as cocaine. Here, we show that sex is a critical biological variable that defines drug-induced plasticity in the NAc. Using quantitative mass spectrometry, we assessed the protein expression patterns altered by cocaine self-administration and demonstrate unique molecular profiles between males and females. We show that 1. Cocaine self-administration induces non-overlapping protein expression patterns in males and females and 2. Cocaine specifically acts on baseline sexual dimorphisms to exert these effects. Critically, we find that cocaine administration blunts not only basal sex-differences in the accumbens proteome, but also the pre-existing sex differences in behavior for natural rewards. Together, these data suggest that chronic cocaine is capable of rewriting baseline proteomic function to maintain cocaine-specific behaviors.

Project description:Cocaine use disorder (CUD) is an intractable syndrome, and rising overdose death rates represent a significant public health crisis that exacts tremendous personal and financial costs on patients and society. Sharp increases in cocaine use drive the urgent need for better mechanistic insight into this chronic relapsing brain disorder that currently lacks effective treatment options. To investigate the transcriptomic changes involved, we conducted RNA sequencing on two striatal brain regions that are heavily implicated in CUD, the nucleus accumbens and caudate nucleus, from postmortem brains of subjects with CUD and matched control subjects. Weighted gene co-expression analyses identified CUD-specific gene networks enriched in ionotropic receptors and associated with lowered neuroinflammation, contrasting the proinflammatory responses found in opioid use disorder. Integration of comprehensive transcriptomic datasets from mouse cocaine self-administration models revealed evolutionarily conserved gene networks in CUD that implicate especially D1 medium spiny neurons as drivers of cocaine-induced plasticity.

Project description:Prior research demonstrated that environmental enrichment creates individual differences in behavior leading to a protective addiction phenotype in rats. Understanding the mechanisms underlying this phenotype will guide selection of targets for much-needed novel pharmacotherapeutics. The current study investigates basal differences in proteome expression in the nucleus accumbens of enriched and isolated rats and the proteomic response to cocaine self-administration using a liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS) technique to quantify 1917 proteins. Results of complementary Ingenuity Pathways Analyses (IPA) and gene set enrichment analyses (GSEA) demonstrate that cocaine increases vesicular transporters for dopamine and glutamate, as well as increasing proteins in the RhoA pathway. Further, cocaine regulates proteins related to ERK, CREB and AKT signaling. Environmental enrichment altered expression of a large number of proteins with diverse functions, including mood disorders, energy production, ubiquitination, splicing, transport, kinases and neurodegenerative diseases. Most of the biological functions and pathways listed above were also identified in the Cocaine X Enrichment interaction analysis, providing clear evidence that enriched and isolated rats respond quite differently to cocaine exposure. The overall impression of the current results is that enriched saline-administering rats have a unique proteomic complement compared to enriched cocaine-administering rats as well as saline and cocaine-taking isolated rats. These results identify possible mechanisms of the protective phenotype and provide fertile soil for developing novel pharmacotherapeutics.

Project description:Cocaine is one of the most abused psychostimulants in the United States. In addition to its established roles in the regulation of dopaminergic circuitries, cocaine has a broader mechanism of action, including global alterations in brain metabolism and mitochondrial homeostasis. Our group recently identified a subpopulation of non-microvesicular, non-exosomal extracellular vesicles of mitochondrial origin, mitovesicles (mtVs), and provided a method to isolate mtVs from brain parenchyma. Given their origin, we hypothesized that mtVs could be affected by mitochondrial abnormalities induced by chronic cocaine exposure. Therefore, we analyzed mtVs from hemibrains of 3-month-old mice that received for two weeks intraperitoneal injections of cocaine or saline as control. MtVs from the brain extracellular space of cocaine-intoxicated mice were enlarged and more numerous when compared to controls. Moreover, cocaine stimulated higher intracellular mitochondrial fission and higher levels of upstream (but not downstream) mitophagy pathways, suggesting increased mitochondrial fragmentation and a block in mitophagy flux. Lastly, cocaine impaired brain mtV cargo loading as revealed by Mass Spec analysis, causing an alteration in mtV ATP production capacity. These data suggest that mtVs are a previously unidentified player in the biology of cocaine addiction and that target therapies to fine tune brain mtV functionality may be beneficial to mitigate chronic cocaine pathology.

Project description:We cataloged miRNA expression in the nucleus accumbens and at striatal synapses in control and chronically cocaine-treated mice. We identified cocaine-responsive miRNAs, synaptically-enriched and depleted miRNA families, and confirmed cocaine-induced changes in protein expression for several predicted synaptic target genes. Analysis of small RNA from Mus musculus nucleus accumbens (NAc) and postsynaptic densities (PSD) with and without chronic cocaine treatment.

Project description:The 10 samples below represent a study where gene expression levels were measured in 5 different parts of the rat brain under cocaine-treated (GSM4696, GSM4698 - GSM4701) and saline-treated control (GSM4702 - GSM4706) conditions. The regions studied were amygdala (amy), caudate putamen (cpu), nucleus acumbens (na), prefrontal cortex (cpu), and the ventral tegmental area (vta). The data were analyzed using two different computational techniques, viz. singular value decomposition (SVD) and self-organizing maps (SOM), to identify a common set of genes that were regulated by cocaine administration.
