项目摘要

ABSTRACT Opiate use, dependence, and addiction have dramatically increased to epidemic proportions in recent years. This is a reflection of the increased misuse of prescription opioids and abuse of illegal opiate drugs, such as heroin. Unfortunately, there are still relatively few effective pharmacotherapeutic interventions available for the treatment of substance abuse and addiction, most of which rely on a replacement therapeutic model. Neuronal plasticity is considered to be a substrate that mediates the long-lasting changes in the brain's reward circuit and a key component of the long-term addiction disease state. These neural adaptations occur in brain regions such as the nucleus accumbens and lead to long-term drug craving and drug relapse. Currently, there is a scarcity of mechanistic evidence that explores the molecular mechanisms of heroin-induced structural plasticity. The overarching focus of this proposal is to determine the functional cellular neurobiological mechanisms of heroin-induced behavioral plasticity. The proposed studies investigate the role of actin dynamics mediated through the actin-binding protein drebrin in heroin-induced plasticity, ultimately resulting in long-term drug craving and relapse behaviors. To this end, we have proposed three Specific Aims that will test the following hypotheses: to determine if heroin self- administration results in a persistent and epigenetically-mediated decrease in the actin-stabilizing protein drebrin, which in turn regulates actin turnover (Aim I); to determine that drebrin is an essential molecular mechanism underlying heroin-induced relapse-like behaviors and structural plasticity following abstinence from heroin self-administration (Aim II); and to determine if drebrin mediates drug seeking and structural plasticity in D1- and in D2-expressing medium spiny neurons following heroin self-administration (Aim III). This application presents an opportunity to determine, for the first time, a causal mechanism—drebrin—in the underlying cellular (actin dynamics; D1/D2 MSN cellular specificity), structural (morphological), and behavioral (reinstatement) plasticity induced by heroin. The findings from the work in this application will elucidate mechanisms by which chronic heroin exposure induces long-term changes in the plasticity of nucleus accumbens neurons and provides new directions for the development of novel therapies for heroin addiction.

抽象的近年来，阿片类药物的使用、依赖和成瘾急剧增加，达到流行的程度。这反映出处方阿片类药物的滥用和非法阿片类药物的滥用增加，例如不幸的是，针对海洛因的有效药物治疗干预措施仍然相对较少。药物滥用和成瘾的治疗，其中大部分依赖于替代治疗模式。神经元可塑性被认为是介导大脑神经元持久变化的基质。奖励回路和长期成瘾疾病状态的关键组成部分这些神经适应发生在。目前，伏隔核等大脑区域会导致长期的药物渴望和药物复发。缺乏探索海洛因诱发结构性中毒的分子机制的证据该提案的首要重点是确定功能性细胞神经生物学。海洛因诱发的行为可塑性机制。拟议的研究调查了通过肌动蛋白结合蛋白介导的肌动蛋白动力学的作用 drebrin在海洛因诱导的可塑性中，最终导致长期的药物渴望和复吸行为。最后，我们提出了三个具体目标来检验以下假设：确定海洛因是否自我给药导致肌动蛋白稳定蛋白持续且表观遗传介导的减少 drebrin，进而调节肌动蛋白周转（目标 I），以确定 drebrin 是一种重要的分子；海洛因诱发的复吸样行为和戒断后结构可塑性的潜在机制海洛因自我给药（目标 II）；并确定 Drebrin 是否介导药物寻找和结构可塑性海洛因自我给药后表达 D1 和 D2 的中型多棘神经元（目标 III）。该应用首次提供了确定因果机制——drebrin——的机会。基础细胞（肌动蛋白动力学；D1/D2 MSN 细胞特异性）、结构（形态学）和行为（恢复）海洛因引起的可塑性。本申请的工作结果将阐明。长期接触海洛因导致细胞核可塑性长期变化的机制伏隔神经元为海洛因成瘾新疗法的开发提供了新方向。
