项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Elucidating the role of processes that have not been investigated extensively in studies of cellular responses to exposure to drugs of abuse may uncover novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of addictions. We propose to test critical components of our innovative concept that an inflammatory enzyme, i.e., 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), influences biochemical and structural adaptations involved in behavioral sensitization to cocaine. Important for conceptualization of the proposed project was our accidental preliminary observation that cocaine responses (i.e., behavioral sensitization) differ between control and 5-LOX-deficient (knockout) mice. Neuroadaptive changes underlying behavioral sensitization have been related to those responsible for addicitive behaviors. Glutamate receptor-mediated neuroplasticity, which includes the phosphorylation and surface expression of the AMPA glutamate receptor subunit GluR1, is one of these changes. Recent published data and our preliminary results demonstrated that GluR1 phosphorylation can be increased by 5-LOX deficiency/inhibition. Hence, we hypothesize that 5-LOX inhibition/deficiency will facilitate cocaine-induced behavioral sensitization and that this will be accompanied by enhancement of the cocaine treatment- associated increase in GluR1 phosphorylation and surface expression. In AIM 1, we will use pharmacological 5-LOX inhibition (treatment with MK-886) and 5-LOX deficient transgenic (knockout) mice, to investigate the effects of 5-LOX inhibition/deficiency on cocaine-induced changes in GluR1 phosphorylation and GluR1 surface expression. Analyses will be performed in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and prefrontal cortex (PFC) at different times after a single cocaine injection (time course studies). AIM 2 will test whether pharmacological 5- LOX inhibition and 5-LOX knockout alter the development phase of behavioral cocaine sensitization, whereas AIM 3 will test how pharmacological 5-LOX inhibition and 5-LOX knockout affect behavioral and molecular (i.e., GluR1 phosphorylation and surface expression) responses of cocaine-sensitized mice to a cocaine challenge administered after 7 days of wash-out. Demonstrating the involvement of 5-LOX in mechanisms of addiction would point to an unexplored putative therapeutic target (e.g., drugs that affect 5-LOX) and would bring attention to a possible role for 5-LOX gene polymorphisms in drug abuse in general. High-risk, conceptually creative and innovative projects are needed to significantly accelerate progress in drug abuse and addiction research. This proposal is aimed at testing critical components of the innovative concept that an inflammatory enzyme, i.e., 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), influences biochemical and structural adaptations involved in behavioral sensitization to cocaine. Demonstrating the involvement of 5-LOX in mechanisms of addiction would point to a novel and unexplored putative therapeutic target (e.g., drugs that affect 5-LOX) and also, if confirmed, elucidation of the role of 5-LOX in cocaine's effects would bring attention to a possible role for 5-LOX gene polymorphism in drug abuse in general. The concept we propose is highly innovative and no significant prior work is available to support it. We believe that with limited funding we will be in a position to verify the key components of our concept and to obtain the necessary data to initiate more complex future translational studies.

描述（由申请人提供）：阐明在细胞对滥用药物暴露药物的反应研究中尚未广泛研究过程的作用可能会发现用于治疗成瘾的新型治疗靶标。我们建议测试我们创新概念的关键组成部分，即炎症酶，即5-脂氧酶（5-lox）会影响对可卡因行为敏化的生化和结构适应性。对于拟议项目的概念化来说，重要的是我们意外的初步观察结果，即可卡因反应（即行为敏化）在控制和5-lox缺乏（敲除）小鼠之间有所不同。神经适应性的变化是行为敏化的潜在性变化与负责加性行为的人有关。谷氨酸受体介导的神经塑性包括AMPA谷氨酸受体亚基GLUR1的磷酸化和表面表达，是这些变化之一。最近发表的数据和我们的初步结果表明，GLUR1磷酸化可以通过5-LOX缺乏/抑制增加。因此，我们假设5-LOX抑制/缺乏将有助于可卡因诱导的行为敏化，这将伴随着可卡因治疗的增强 - 与GLUR1磷酸化和表面表达相关的增加。在AIM 1中，我们将使用药理学5-LOX抑制作用（用MK-886治疗）和5-lox缺乏转基因（基因敲除）小鼠，研究5-LOX抑制/缺乏对可卡因诱导的GLUR1磷酸化和GLUR1表面表达的变化的影响。分析将在一次可卡因注射后的不同时间（时间培训）在伏隔核（NAC）和前额叶皮层（PFC）中进行。 AIM 2 will test whether pharmacological 5- LOX inhibition and 5-LOX knockout alter the development phase of behavioral cocaine sensitization, whereas AIM 3 will test how pharmacological 5-LOX inhibition and 5-LOX knockout affect behavioral and molecular (i.e., GluR1 phosphorylation and surface expression) responses of cocaine-sensitized mice to a cocaine challenge administered after 7 days of wash-out.证明5-lox参与成瘾机制将表明未开发的假定治疗靶点（例如，影响5-lox的药物），并将注意力引起了5-lox基因多态性在一般情况下的可能作用。需要高风险，概念创造性和创新的项目，以显着加速药物滥用和成瘾研究的进展。该建议旨在测试创新概念的关键组成部分，即炎症酶（即5-脂氧合酶（5-lox））影响对可卡因行为敏感的生化和结构适应性。证明5-lox参与成瘾机制将指出一种新颖且未开发的假定治疗靶标（例如，影响5-lox的药物），并且如果确认，阐明了5-lox在可卡因在5-lox Gene Polymphist中的作用将使5-lox在一般药物滥用中的作用引起人们的注意。我们提出的概念具有很高的创新性，并且没有重大的先前工作来支持它。我们认为，通过有限的资金，我们将有能力验证我们概念的关键组成部分，并获得必要的数据以启动更复杂的未来翻译研究。
