DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objective of this project is to understand how changes in insulin signaling regulate the actions of amphetamine (AMPH). Dopamine (DA) transporters (DATs), which largely control DA clearance, are targets for psychostimulants such as AMPH and cocaine. By acting on the DAT, AMPH attenuates DA clearance efficiency and induces reverse transport of DA. As a consequence, AMPH increases synaptic DA levels and enhances dopaminergic transmission, with profound effects on behavior. Exciting new experiments demonstrate that insulin, through phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) signaling, regulates DA clearance by fine-tuning DAT plasma membrane expression. This project will combine biochemistry, biophysics to elucidate the relationships between changes in PI3K signaling and changes in AMPH-induced increase in extracellular DA. Therefore, the key issues to resolve include how PI3K signaling regulates AMPH-induced DA efflux and to determine, ex vivo, whether perturbations in PI3K signaling caused by changes in feeding behaviors and disease states such as diabetes regulate DAT cell surface expression. The proposed studies address the following Specific Aims: 1) To define how PI3K signaling regulates AMPH-induced DA efflux. 2) To demonstrate, in vivo, that hypoinsulinemia or insulin resistance induced by changes in diet, reduce DA clearance and AMPH-induced DA efflux and, that these modifications are a consequence of DAT trafficking. This proposal will analyze how perturbations of insulin signaling regulate the ability of amphetamine to increase extracellular dopamine levels, which can lead to addiction. In turn, defining how insulin signaling affects dopamine neurotransmission may help to explain the mechanistic basis for the high co-morbidity of eating disorders and drug abuse.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的长期目标是了解胰岛素信号的变化如何调节苯丙胺（AMPH）的作用。多巴胺（DA）转运蛋白（DATS）在很大程度上控制DA清除率，是Amph和Cocaine等精神刺激物的靶标。通过在DAT上作用，Amph降低了DA的清除效率并引起DA的反向运输。结果，AMPH提高了突触DA的水平并增强了多巴胺能传播，对行为产生了深远的影响。令人兴奋的新实验表明，胰岛素通过磷脂酰肌醇3激酶（PI3K）信号传导，通过微调DAT质膜表达来调节DA清除率。该项目将结合生物化学，生物物理学，以阐明PI3K信号传导变化与Amph诱导的细胞外DA增加之间的关系。因此，解决的关键问题包括PI3K信号传导如何调节AMPH诱导的DA外排，并确定，在体内，PI3K信号的扰动是否是由喂养行为的变化和疾病状态（例如糖尿病）调节DAT细胞表面表达引起的。拟议的研究涉及以下特定目的：1）定义PI3K信号如何调节AMPH诱导的DA外排。 2）在体内证明饮食变化引起的低胰岛素血症或胰岛素抵抗，减少了DA清除率和AMPH引起的DA外排，并且这些修饰是DAT运输的结果。该建议将分析胰岛素信号传导的扰动如何调节苯丙胺增加细胞外多巴胺水平的能力，从而导致成瘾。反过来，定义胰岛素信号如何影响多巴胺神经传递可能有助于解释饮食失调和药物滥用的高杂菌症的机械基础。
