Project description:The development of substance use disorder (SUD) is a complex process involving multiple neurocircuitries and brain regions. The amygdala is a region that mediates the withdrawal effect as well as anxiety and depression-like behaviors. However, the transcriptional changes in each cell type during SUD is largely unknown. Here we performed single-cell RNA sequencing and classified all cell types in the mouse amygdala under opioid dependence and withdrawal states. Our data revealed distinct changes in key biological processes, such as immune response, inflammation, synaptic transmission, and mitochondrial respiration in different cell populations. Dramatic differences were unraveled in the transcriptional profiles between dependence and withdrawal states. This report is the first single-cell RNA sequencing dataset from the amygdala under opioid dependence and withdrawal conditions, providing unique insights in understanding brain alterations during SUD, especially at the molecular and cellular levels.

Project description:Background: Opioid withdrawal is a key driver of opioid addiction and an obstacle to recovery. However, withdrawal effects on opioid reinforcement and mesolimbic neuroadaptation are understudied and the role of sex is largely unknown. Methods: Male (n=13) and female (n=12) rats responded under a fentanyl-vs.-food “choice” procedure during daily 2h sessions. In addition to the daily choice sessions, rats were provided extended access to fentanyl during 12h self-administration sessions. After two weeks of this selfadministration regimen, the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) of a subset of rats were subjected to RNA sequencing. In the remaining rats, a third week of this self-administration regimen was conducted, during which methadone effects on fentanyl-vs.-food choice were determined. Results: Prior to opioid dependence, male and female rats similarly allocated responding between fentanyl and food. Abstinence from extended fentanyl access elicited similar increases in somatic withdrawal signs in both sexes. Despite similar withdrawal signs and extended access fentanyl intake, opioid withdrawal was accompanied by a maladaptive increase in fentanyl choice in males, but not females. Behavioral sex differences corresponded with a greater number of differentially expressed genes in the NAc and VTA of opioidwithdrawn females relative to males. Methadone blocked withdrawal-associated increases in fentanyl choice in males, but failed to further decrease fentanyl choice in females. Conclusions: These results provide foundational evidence of sex-specific neuroadaptations to opioid withdrawal, which may be relevant to the female-specific resilience to withdrawal-associated increases in opioid choice and aid in the identification of novel therapeutic targets.

Project description:Opioid use during pregnancy can lead to negative infant health outcomes, including neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS). NOWS comprises gastrointestinal, autonomic nervous system, and neurological dysfunction that manifest during spontaneous withdrawal. Current treatments involve non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions, however, there is no one standardized approach, in part because of variability in NOWS severity. To effectively model NOWS traits in mice, we used a third trimester-approximate opioid exposure paradigm, where neonatal inbred FVB/NJ and outbred Carworth Farms White (CFW) pups were injected twice-daily with morphine (10-15 mg/kg, s.c.) or saline (0.9%, 20 ul/g, s.c.) from postnatal day (P) one to P14. We observed reduced body weight gain, hypothermia, thermal hyperalgesia, and increased ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs). Neonatal USVs are emitted exclusively in isolation to communicate distress and thus serve as a model behavior for affective states. On P14, we observed altered USV syllable profiles during spontaneous morphine withdrawal, including an increase in Complex 3 syllables in FVB/NJ females (but not males) and in CFW mice of both sexes. Brainstem transcriptomics revealed an upregulation of the kappa opioid receptor (Oprk1), whose activation has previously been shown to contribute to withdrawal-induced dysphoria. Treatment with the kappa opioid receptor (KOR) antagonist, nor-BNI (30 mg/kg, s.c.), significantly reduced USV emission in FVB/NJ females, but not FVB/NJ males during spontaneous morphine withdrawal. Furthermore, treatment with the KOR agonist, U50,488h (0.625 mg/kg, s.c.), was sufficient to increase USV emission on P10 (both sexes) and on P14 (females only) in FVB/NJ mice. Together, these results indicate a female-specific recruitment of the dynorphin/KOR system in neonatal opioid withdrawal symptom severity.

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:Prenatal opioid exposure is a major health concern in the United States, with the incidence of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) escalating in recent years. NOWS is revealed upon cessation of in utero opioid exposure and is characterized by increased irritability, disrupted sleep patterns, high-pitched crying, and erratic feeding. The main pharmacological treatment strategy for alleviating symptoms is opioid maintenance therapy. The neural mechanisms mediating NOWS and the long-term neurobehavioral effects are poorly understood. We used a third trimester-approximate model in which neonatal outbred pups (Cartworth Farms White; CFW) were administered once-daily morphine (15 mg/kg, s.c.) from postnatal day (P) day 1 through P14 and were then assessed for behavioral and transcriptomic adaptations within the nucleus accumbens (NAc) on P15. We also investigated the long-term effects of perinatal morphine exposure on adult learning and reward sensitivity. We observed significant weight deficits, spontaneous thermal hyperalgesia, and altered ultrasonic vocalization (USV) profiles following repeated morphine and during spontaneous withdrawal. Transcriptome analysis of NAc from opioid-withdrawn P15 neonates via bulk mRNA sequencing identified an enrichment profile consistent with downregulation of myelin-associated transcripts. Despite the neonatal behavioral and molecular effects, there were no significant long-term effects of perinatal morphine exposure on adult spatial memory function in the Barnes Maze, emotional learning in fear conditioning, or in baseline or methamphetamine-potentiated reward sensitivity as measured via intracranial self-stimulation. Thus, the once daily third trimester-approximate exposure regimen, while inducing NOWS model traits and significant transcriptomic effects in neonates, had no significant long-term effects on adult behaviors.

Project description:The Opioid Use Disorder epidemic led to an increase in cases of Nenonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS) in infants born to opioid-dependent mothers. Hallmark features include weight loss, irritability, inconsolability, insomnia, and increased pain sensitivity. The neurobiological basis of NOWS is largely unknown. Improved mouse models will facilitate mechanistic and treatment discovery. We treated neonatal outbred Cartworth Farms White (CFW) mice (Swiss Webster) with morphine sulfate (15 mg/kg, s.c.) twice daily on postnatal day (P)1 through P14, the approximate third trimester-equivalent of human gestation. Weight loss was monitored and behavioral symptoms were measured on P7 and P14 at 16 h post-morphine. Brainstem containing pons and medulla was collected on P14 and processed for transcriptome analysis via mRNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Morphine induced weight loss from P2 to P14 that remained at P21 and P50. Repeated morphine also induced a delayed self-righting latency at P4 and a persistent, female-specific delay at P14. Morphine-treated females also showed an earlier increase in ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) on P7. Both morphine-treated sexes showed a large increase in USVs on P14. Furthermore, thermal nociception via hot plate and tail withdrawal assays indicated that mice exhibited thermal hyperalgesia on P7 and P14, with females showing greater hyperalgesia (tail withdrawal) on P7. Morphine-treated mice also exhibited anxiety-like behavior at P21 (open field). Finally, brainstem transcriptome analysis identified a canonical gene set relevant to opioid signaling in males and a distinct gene set in females that was enriched for ribosomal proteins, mitochondrial function and neurodegenerative disorders. Sex-specific transcriptomic neuroadaptations implicate sex-specific treatments.

Project description:Nicotine withdrawal can diversely affect brain gene expression patterns. In the brain, the dorsal striatum is a hub of nicotine dependence. Previous studies have shown that nicotine dependence leads to functional alterations in the dorsal striatum. miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulates cellular functions and dysfunctions. Here, we performed small RNA sequencing from the dorsal striatum of mice at 7 days after nicotine withdrawal. Our results show that nicotine withdrawal does not notably impact miRNA expression profile in the dorsal striatum, but a few miRNAs were significantly altered in response to nicotine withdrawal. These results suggest that nicotine withdrawal has a small but significant impact on the miRNA expression profile in the mouse dorsal striatum.
