Project description:Adolescent cocaine abuse increases the risk for developing addiction in later life, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we establish adolescent cocaine-exposed (ACE) male mouse models. A subthreshold dose of cocaine (sdC) treatment, insufficient to produce conditioned place preference (CPP) in adolescent mice, induces CPP in ACE mice during adulthood, along with more activated CaMKII-positive neurons, higher dual specificity protein kinase phosphatase-1 (Dusp1) mRNA, lower DUSP1 activity, and lower DUSP1 expression in CaMKII-positive neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). Overexpressing DUSP1 in CaMKII-positive neurons suppresses neuron activity and blocks sdC-induced CPP in ACE mice during adulthood. On the contrary, depleting DUSP1 in CaMKII-positive neurons activates more neurons and further enhances sdC-induced behavior in ACE mice during adulthood. Also, ERK1/2 might be a downstream signal of DUSP1 in the process. Our findings reveal a role of mPFC DUSP1 in ACE-induced higher sensitivity to the drug in adult mice. DUSP1 might be a potential pharmacological target to predict or treat the susceptibility to addictive drugs caused by adolescent substance use.

Project description:Population-based studies show cannabis use doubles the risk of developing schizophrenia especially when use occurs in early adolescence (prior to age 15). However, the cause-and-effect mechanisms are largely unknown. To investigate the effect of cannabis on brain maturation and relation to the development of psychosis-like behaviours in adulthood, we treated young adolescent mice with vehicle or cannabis extract once a day for 2 weeks between postnatal days 14 and 28, and then collected hippocampal tissue for microarray analysis 12 weeks later. We identify a total of 78 differentially expressed genes (25 upregulated and 53 downregulated; p<0.05, fold change ± 1.2) and validate increases in dopamine D2 receptor (Drd2) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (Faah). Changes in Faah expression were limited to the hippocampus however Drd2 also increased in striatum but not prefrontal cortex or amygdala. When tested in adulthood with a behavioural panel relevant to schizophrenia, cannabis-treated mice displayed lower anxiety in the elevated zero-maze, decreased social preference, increased social novelty preference, mild cognitive impairments in a spatial version of the novel object recognition task and absence of latent inhibition when compared to vehicle controls. Adolescent treatment with cannabis extract thus lead to long-lasting changes in gene expression within the hippocampus which together result in behavioural deficits consistent with the negative and positive symptoms of schizophrenia.

Project description:Adolescent cannabis use increases the risk for cognitive impairments and psychiatric disorders. Cannabinoid receptor type 1 (Cnr1) is expressed not only in neurons and astrocytes, but also in microglia, which shape synaptic connections during adolescence. Nonetheless, until now, the role of microglia in mediating the adverse cognitive effects of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis, has been unexplored. Here, we report that adolescent THC exposure produces microglial apoptosis in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), which was exacerbated in the mouse model of 16p11.2 duplication, a representative copy number variation (CNV) risk factor for psychiatric disorders. These effects are mediated by microglial Cnr1, leading to reduction in the excitability of mPFC pyramidal-tract neurons and deficits in social memory in adulthood. Our findings highlight the importance of microglial Cnr1 to produce the adverse effect of cannabis exposure in genetically vulnerable individuals.

Project description:Adolescent cannabis use has been associated with long-term cognitive dysfunction attributed to action of the main cannabis ingredient, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), on the cannabinoid receptor 1 (CNR1). However, not all marijuana users develop cognitive impairment, suggesting a genetic vulnerability to adverse effects of cannabis. As both neurons and glial cells express CNR1, genetic vulnerability could influence Δ9-THC-induced signaling in a cell type-specific manner. Here we use an animal model of inducible expression of dominant-negative Disrupted-In-Schizophrenia-1 (DN-DISC1) selectively in astrocytes to evaluate the molecular mechanisms whereby an astrocyte genetic vulnerability could synergistically interact with adolescent Δ9-THC exposure to impair recognition memory in adulthood. We report that selective expression of DN-DISC1 in astrocytes and adolescent treatment with Δ9-THC synergistically affected recognition memory in adult mice. Similar deficits in recognition memory were observed following knockdown of endogenous Disc1 in hippocampal astrocytes in mice treated with Δ9-THC during adolescence. At the molecular level, DN-DISC1 and Δ9-THC synergistically activated the NF-kB-COX-2 (encoded by Ptgs2 gene) pathway in astrocytes and decreased immunoreactivity of parvalbumin-positive pre-synaptic inhibitory boutons around pyramidal neurons of the CA3 area of the hippocampus. The cognitive abnormalities were prevented in DN-DISC1 mice exposed to Δ9-THC by simultaneous adolescent treatment with the COX-2 inhibitor, NS389. Our data demonstrate that individual vulnerability to cannabis can be exclusively mediated by astrocytes. Results of this work suggest that genetic predisposition within astrocytes can exaggerate Δ9-THC-produced cognitive impairments via convergent inflammatory signaling, suggesting possible targets for preventing adverse effects of cannabis within susceptible individuals.

Project description:Activation of the Mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade following Toll-like receptor (TLR) stimulation enables innate immune cells to rapidly activate cytokine gene expression. A balanced response to signals of infectious danger requires that cellular activation is transient. Here, we identify the MAPK phosphatase Dual specificity phosphatase-1 (DUSP1) as an essential endogenous regulator of the inflammatory response to LPS. DUSP1-deficient (DUSP1-/-) bone marrow derived macrophages showed selectively prolonged activation of p38 MAPK and increased cytokine production. Intraperitoneal challenge of DUSP1-/- mice with LPS caused increased lethality and overshooting production of IL-6 and TNF?. Transcriptional profiling revealed that DUSP1 controls a significant fraction of LPS-induced genes, that includes IL-6 and IL-10 as well as the chemokines CCL3, CCL4 and CXCL2. In contrast, the expression of the important mediators of endotoxin lethality, IFN? and IL-12, was not significantly altered by the absence of DUSP1. These data together demonstrate a specific regulatory role of DUSP1 in controlling a subset of LPS-induced genes that determines the outcome of endotoxin shock.

Project description:Circadian rhythm disturbances have long been associated with the development of psychiatric disorders, including mood and substance use disorders. Adolescence is a particularly vulnerable time for the onset of psychiatric disorders and for circadian rhythm and sleep disruptions. Preclinical studies have found that circadian rhythm disruption (CRD) impacts the brain and behavior, but this research is largely focused on adult disruptions. Here, we sought to determine the long-term behavioral and neurobiological effects of CRD during early adolescence by exposing mice to 12 h shifts in the light/dark cycle. We hypothesized that adolescent CRD would have a greater effect on psychiatric-related behaviors, relative to adult disruption. To identify possible mechanisms, we also measured gene expression in brain regions relevant to circadian rhythms, mood and reward. We found that disruption during early adolescence, but not adulthood, persistently increased exploratory drive (risk-taking behavior) and cocaine preference when tested later in life. Interestingly, we found sex differences when intravenous cocaine self-administration was tested. While female mice with a history of adolescent CRD had a greater propensity to self-administer cocaine, as well as increased motivation and cue-induced reinstatement, male adolescent CRD mice had reduced motivation and extinction responding. Overall, adolescent CRD in mice caused persistent increases in risky behavior, cocaine reward and cocaine self-administration, which suggests that CRD during adolescence may predispose individuals towards substance use disorders. Importantly, we found that many transcripts were affected by adolescent CRD and these were largely distinct across sex and brain region. Future research is required to elucidate how adolescent CRD affects behaviors relevant to mood- and substance use-related disorders across the 24-hour day, as well as to identify intervention strategies to alleviate disruption during adolescence and novel therapeutic approaches once symptoms have begun.

Project description:Chronic pain is a major health care problem with great social and economic consequences. Although the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and the thalamus have been implicated in regulating pain, whether and how these regions may involve in pain chronification process have remained largely unknown. Here, we show that Foxp2+ neurons in mPFC, which are corticothalamic (CT) neurons representing the major mPFC output to thalamus, are deactivated in chronic inflammatory pain. Interestingly, prolonged, but not short-term, inactivation of the Foxp2+ neurons in mPFC increases the sensitivity to noxious stimulations. Conversely, chemogenetic activation of this neuronal cluster induces robust antinociceptive effects in both naïve mice and mice with chronic inflammatory pain. Furthermore, we found that the mPFC Foxp2+ neurons project to several thalamic relay nuclei and that activation of the mPFC to the parataenial nucleus of thalamus (PTN) circuit relieves pain. Finally, RNA-seq of the mPFC Foxp2+ neurons revealed that many genes related to neuronal activity are dysregulated in mice with chronic inflammatory pain. Collectively, our studies revealed that Foxp2+ neurons in mPFC that project to thalamus play a critical role in somatosensory processing and pain chronification.
