Project description:<p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> Drug addiction can seriously damage human physical and mental health, while detoxification is a long and difficult process. Although studies have reported changes in the oral microbiome of methamphetamine (METH) addicts, the role of the microbiome plays in this process is still unknown. This study aims to explore the function of the microbiome based on analysis of the variations in the oral microbiome and metabolome of METH addicts. We performed the 16S rRNA sequencing analysis based on the oral saliva samples collected from 278 METH addicts and 105 healthy controls (CTL) undergoing detoxification at the detoxification center in Shandong, China. In addition, the untargeted metabolomic profiling was conducted based on 220 samples (170 METH addicts and 50 CTL) to identify the biomarkers and build classifiers for both oral microbiota and metabolites.</p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> Compared to the CTL group, alpha diversity was reduced in the group of METH addicts, with significant differences in the microbiota and changes in oral metabolic pathways, including enhanced tryptophan metabolism, lysine biosynthesis, purine metabolism and steroid biosynthesis. Conversely, the metabolic pathways of porphyrin metabolism, glutathione metabolism and pentose phosphate were significantly reduced. It was speculated that four key microbial taxa, i.e., <em>Peptostreptococcus</em>, <em>Gemella</em>, <em>Campylobacter</em> and <em>Aggregatibacter</em>, could be involved in the toxicity and addiction mechanisms of METH by affecting the above metabolic pathways. And, it was found that with the increase of drug use years, the content of tryptamine associated with neuropsychiatric disorders gradually increased. In addition, microbial prediction models were more effective than metabolite-based prediction models in identifying METH addiction.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSIONS:</strong> Our study identified the potential functional connections between the oral microbiome and metabolic profile of METH addicts, providing novel insights into exploring the toxic damage and addiction mechanisms underlying the METH addiction.</p>

Project description:In this study, we have created a mouse model of methamphetamine cardiomyopathy that reproduces the chronic, progressive dosing commonly encountered in addicted subjects. We gradually increased the quantity of methamphetamine given to C57Bl/6 mice from 5 to 40 mg/kg over five months. At the fifth month, heart weight was increased, echocardiograms showed a dilated cardiomyopathy and survival was lower in males, with less effect in females. Interestingly, these findings correspond to previous observations in human patients, suggesting greater male susceptibility to the effects of methamphetamine on the heart.Transcriptional analysis showed changes in genes dysregulated in previous methamphetamine neurological studies as well as many that likely play a role in cardiac response to this toxic stress. We expect that a deeper understanding of the molecular biology of methamphetamine exposure in the heart will provide insights into the mechanism of cardiomyopathy in addicts and potential routes to more effective treatment.

Project description:Methamphetamine can trigger dopamine releasing in human brain, now used as abuse drug. Some studies have shown that specific genes and proteins responded to, methamphetamine, but little is known about the overall “omic” response of organisms to this illicit substance. Here we demonstrate that Drosophila melanogaster has the potential to give us significant insights into evolutionarily conserved responses to methamphetamine. We performed metabolome, proteome, and transciptome profiling with Drosophila treated with methamphetamine. The proteomic profiling revealed responses associated with known physiological problems that occur with methamphetamine usage in mammals. The metabolomic result showed that the metabolite trehalose was decreased significantly after methamphetamine exposure, suggesting an oxidative stress response to this drug. Many of the differential transcribed genes, including detoxification enzymes, had the potential transcription factor-binding motif YY1 associated with their upstream regulatory regions. YY1 is known to be responsive to amphetamines in mammals.

Two treatments were produced (control VS 0.6% 24 h meth-fed).
