项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Evidence from clinical studies of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) has shown that prenatal ethanol exposure could lead to increased propensity of addiction. Results from animal studies also show prenatal ethanol exposure leads to behavioral phenotypes associated with increased addiction propensity and enhanced learning of drug cues. We have found prenatal ethanol exposure results in a persistent increase in glutamate synaptic transmission in dopamine (DA) neurons located in the ventral tegmental area (VTA), an effect thought to be a critical cellular mechanism for addiction. Specifically, we observe that prenatal ethanol exposure leads to a rectification of AMPA receptor-mediated current, suggesting an increased expression of high conductance GluR2 subunit-lacking AMPA receptors. We also observe a blockade of endocannabinoid (eCB)-mediated long-term depression (LTD). LTD plays a critical role in the weakening of synaptic strength. Both the blockade of LTD and increase in GluR2-lacking AMPA receptors observed in prenatal ethanol exposed animals are likely to contribute to a persistent increase in glutamate synaptic transmission in VTA DA neurons, which in turn leads to increased addiction propensity. In the proposed studies, we will use a multidisciplinary approach to further characterize the effects of prenatal ethanol exposure on increased glutamate synaptic transmission in VTA DA neurons. Specifically, we will seek to confirm whether prenatal ethanol exposure leads to an increased expression of GluR2-lacking AMPA receptors. We will also investigate the detailed mechanism leading to prenatal ethanol exposure- induced blockade of eCB-dependent LTD. Lastly, we will investigate if increased glutamate synaptic transmission caused by above two cellular mechanisms in VTA DA neurons indeed leads to increased addiction propensity in prenatal ethanol exposed animals. The results generated from the proposed studies will have important implications in the following areas. First, they will lead to a better understanding in the cellular/molecular mechanisms mediating prenatal ethanol exposure-induced increase in addiction propensity. The results, will provide important insights to better therapeutic strategies for behavioral problems of FASD. Second, the results will also help clarify the complex eCB signaling mechanisms within the mesolimbic/mesocortical DA systems. Although a critical role of eCB signaling in DA system function and addiction has been proposed, the detailed cellular mechanisms are not - characterized. The results from the proposed studies are likely to fill this gap. Third, the results may have broad impact beyond FASD. Other conditions leading to increased addiction propensity (e.g. psychostimulant or stress exposure) also alter DA system function, raising the possibility that a common brain mechanism mediates increased substance abuse propensity. The results from the proposed studies may provide insights to brain mechanisms mediating increased addiction propensity and the prevention of addiction in general.
描述(由申请人提供):胎儿酒精谱系疾病临床研究的证据(FASD)表明,产前乙醇暴露可能导致成瘾倾向增加。动物研究的结果还表明,产前乙醇暴露导致行为表型与成瘾倾向的增加并增强了药物提示的学习。我们发现产前乙醇暴露会导致位于腹侧段盖区域(VTA)的多巴胺(DA)神经元中谷氨酸突触传播持续增加,这种效应被认为是成瘾的关键细胞机制。具体而言,我们观察到产前乙醇暴露会导致AMPA受体介导的电流的校准,这表明高电导GLUR2亚基累积的AMPA受体的表达增加。我们还观察到了内源性大麻素(ECB)介导的长期抑郁症(LTD)的封锁。 LTD在突触强度的削弱中起关键作用。在产前乙醇暴露的动物中观察到的LTD封锁和GLUR2累积的AMPA受体的增加都可能导致VTA DA神经元中谷氨酸突触传播的持续增加,这又导致成瘾倾向的增加。 在拟议的研究中,我们将使用一种多学科方法来进一步表征产前乙醇暴露对VTA DA神经元中谷氨酸突触增加的影响的影响。具体而言,我们将寻求确认产前乙醇的暴露是否导致GLUR2占用AMPA受体的表达增加。我们还将研究导致产前乙醇诱导的ECB依赖性LTD的阻断的详细机制。最后,我们将研究是否增加了由VTA DA神经元中两个细胞机制引起的谷氨酸突触传播的增加,确实会导致产前乙醇暴露的动物的成瘾倾向增加。拟议的研究产生的结果将在以下领域具有重要意义。首先,它们将在介导产前乙醇暴露引起的成瘾倾向的增加的细胞/分子机制上有更好的了解。结果将为FASD的行为问题提供更好的治疗策略提供重要的见解。其次,结果还将有助于阐明中唇/皮层DA系统中复杂的欧洲央行信号传导机制。尽管已经提出了欧洲央行信号传导在DA系统功能和成瘾中的关键作用,但未表征详细的细胞机制。拟议研究的结果可能填补了这一空白。第三,结果可能超出了FASD。导致成瘾倾向增加(例如,精神刺激或压力暴露)的其他条件也改变了DA系统功能,从而增加了一种常见的大脑机制介导增加药物滥用倾向的可能性。拟议研究的结果可能会为介导的大脑机制提供见解,从而增加成瘾倾向和预防成瘾。
