▼ Drug addiction is a serious problem for modern societies worldwide. There are remarkable costs associated with this problem, from the direct costs of the substance abuse treatment and prevention healthcare infrastructure to the less direct implications for the criminal justice system and social welfare programs. For individuals there is a loss of health, livelihood, interpersonal relationships, freedom, and ultimately life. The hallmark behavioral feature of addiction is a pattern of intermittent relapse lasting for decades after initial substance abuse. The research community has made a substantial investment of time and resources to better understand the etiology and fundamental features underlying addiction and relapse. Modern theories posit that addiction involves a recurring compulsion by an individual to engage in drug-seeking and drug-taking behaviors despite significant negative consequences. In humans, exposure to drug-associated stimuli and environmental contexts is known to induce an intense state of craving, independent of the length of time since acute drug exposure. Furthermore, neuroimaging studies of humans have suggested that basal ganglia structures may be involved in craving. Progress in the study of basal ganglia-mediated learning and memory has begun to outline a neuroanatomical substrate for the transition of egocentric, selfinitiated goal-directed behavior, to allocentric or externally driven behavior arising from exposure to environmental contexts or particular stimuli. While many elegant experiments have addressed the ability of drug-associated environmental contexts to affect behavior, the ability of discrete drug-associated sensory cues to affect behavior has been less thoroughly addressed. Discrete cues can become associated with drug use by two major operant learning mechanisms that vary in their temporal relationship to the subjective perception of primary reinforcement. The experiments described in this dissertation were designed to identify the extent to which discriminative stimuli and conditioned reinforcers activate the same or different populations of neurons in the dorsal striatum, the main input nucleus of the mammalian basal ganglia. This work has examined, in a novel experimental model of relapse, the capability of discrete sensory cues to elicit reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior and the expression of learning and memory related genes associated with this behavior.

▼ One of the most "fashionable" as well as dangerous drugs abused in this country is cocaine. Very little is known about the effects of cocaine on the immune system. Since macrophages play a central role in both the cellular and the humoral arms of the immune system, this study focused on the effects of cocaine on murine peritoneal macrophage functions, viz., phagocytosis and activation to the cytotoxic state. Phagocytosis is one of the most important components of the host defenses against invading microorganisms once the outer epithelial surface of the body has been breached. In the present study, cocaine injected intraperitoneally was found to increase phagocytic activity of isolated macrophages in vitro; but decreased it when measured by an in vivo assay. The respiratory burst, which is usually correlated with phagocytosis, was enhanced by cocaine. Macrophage activation was studied by measuring macrophage- mediated cytotoxicity (MMC), i.e., the acquisition of competence to destroy neoplastic cells in the absence of antibody. Macrophages from cocaine-injected mice demonstrated a reduced capacity for killing neoplastic cells; as well as a reduction in the secretion of reactive nitrogen intermediates. The latter represent a major product used by macrophages to kill cells. Macrophage receptors/ surface proteins involved in phagocytosis and activation were studied using flow cytometry. A number of these surface receptors were dramatically altered by exposure to cocaine. The presumed toxic metabolites of cocaine, benzoylecgonine and norcocaine, were found to have similar effects on macrophage functions. The present studies clearly demonstrate that cocaine affeas phagocytosis and activation to the cytotoxic state. This translates into impairment of certain non-specific immune responses. These results taken in their entirety suggest that the ability of cocaine to alter macrophage functions could modify specific immune responses resulting in a compromised immune system.

▼ Dissertation prepared under the direction of Kent E. Vrana, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Physiology and Pharmacology and Director of Graduate Studies Chronic cocaine abuse causes altered neuronal gene expression, morphology, and physiology. These changes are thought to contribute to an allostatic state of behavior characterized by compulsive drug seeking, sensitization, tolerance, withdrawal and psychological dependence. Through the use of cDNA hybridization arrays and immunoreactive protein quantification, gene expression analysis can be carried out on a functional neurogenomic scale. This dissertation research identifies changes in gene expression across three animal models of chronic cocaine administration (non-contigent non-human primate, non-contingent rat, and self-administering rat), and three brain regions, (nucleus accumbens, frontal cortex, and hippocampus). In the non-human primate, chronic cocaine induced the expression of protein tyrosine kinase 2, mitogen activated protein kinase kinase, â-catenin, and protein kinase A á catalytic subunit. While each of these genes has important cellular effects, the prime finding of the study was that they all serve to activate cyclic AMP response element binding protein or activator protein 1, known mediators of cocaine-responsive gene expression x and behavior. In the non-contingent rodent model, hippocampal expression of protein kinase Cá, protein kinase Cå, metabotropic glutamate receptor 5, potassium channel Kv1.1, protein tyrosine kinase 2, and â-catenin were induced by cocaine. Each of these genes could potentially have a number of effects, but, interestingly, some of the changes observed could act in an antagonistic manner. In the rat frontal cortex, induction of protein tyrosine kinase 2, activity-regulated cytoskeletal protein, and a nuclear receptor 77 related antigen were seen with chronic cocaine administration. In the rat nucleus accumbens, protein tyrosine kinase 2 protein was shown to be significantly up-regulated. Initial hybridization array analysis of cocaine self-administering rats has produced a number of potentially cocaineresponsive genes, some of which were observed in the non-contingent rat model. These studies demonstrate that some changes in gene expression are specific to certain regions of the brain and others are more ubiquitous. These changes in gene expression provide hypotheses for future research into the role of functional neurogenomics in physiology and behavior, and may provide potential targets for pharmacotherapeutic intervention.

▼ Rationale: Kappa opioid receptor (KOPr) activation by traditional agonists has been shown to produce anti-addiction behaviours. However, adverse effects such as sedation, aversion and depression have limited their clinical development. Recently, salvinorin A (Sal A), an active component of the plant Salvia divinorum was shown to be a potent and selective KOPr agonist. Sal A has a short duration of effect and quick onset of action. It also produces similar behavioural pharmacology to traditional KOPr agonists. However, little is known about the anti-addiction profile of Sal A. If Sal A and its structural analogues produce anti-addiction properties with fewer adverse effects compared to traditional KOPr agonists, they have potential to be developed into antiaddiction pharmacotherapies. Therefore, Sal A and its structural analogues (DS1, MOM Sal B, EOM Sal B, herkinorin) and Mu opioid receptor (MOPr) antagonist/partial KOPr agonist, nalmefene were tested for their behavioural anti-addiction and adverse effect profiles in rats. Methods: To test the anti-addiction profile, a within session cocaine prime induced reinstatement paradigm was used. The selectivity of KOPr agonists in attenuating cocaine seeking behaviours was tested using sucrose reinforcement (anhedonia) and cocaine induced hyperactivity in self-administering rats (sedation during reinstatement test). Furthermore, behavioural adverse effects were screened using spontaneous open field activity (motor suppression), conditioned taste aversion (aversion) and forced swim test (depression) in rats. To further quantify the anti-addiction behaviours, the effect of KOPr agonists which attenuated drug seeking selectively without producing motor suppression by themselves were tested for cocaine produced motor function (hyperactivity and behavioural sensitization) in rats. The effect of serotonin transporter blockade on KOPr agonist induced depressive behaviour was also tested. The effects of KOPr activation on in vitro serotonin transporter function were also determined. Results: Sal A, DS1 and nalmefene attenuated cocaine prime induced drug-seeking, in a selective manner, via KOPr activation. MOM Sal B, a more potent and long acting Sal A analogue attenuated cocaine seeking in a non-selective manner. Sal A, DS1 and nalmefene did not induce aversion, however nalmefene suppressed motor function, which was not seen with Sal A and DS1. Furthermore, Sal A and DS1 suppressed cocaine behavioural sensitization. All three compounds (Sal A, DS1, nalmefene) produced depression. The depressive effects produced by Sal A and DS1 were diminished by blocking the serotonin transporter. Live-cell serotonin transporter assays showed potential differences between traditional (U50488H) and novel (Sal A, DS1) KOPr agonists in their ability to modulate serotonin transporter function. Conclusion: Out of six KOPr compounds tested, Sal A, DS1, MOM Sal B and nalmefene produced anti-addiction behaviours. However, MOM Sal B exposure also suppressed natural reward seeking behaviour.

▼ Cocaine use is a widespread problem in the United States with 2 million current users who make about half a million emergency department visits each year. Although use is prevalent, there is currently no FDA-approved pharmacotherapy to specifically treat cocaine abuse or cocaine toxicity. Approaches toward developing therapies for these indications include small molecule inhibitors of cocaine binding and cocaine vaccines. These methods have proven to block the strong reinforcing properties of the drug; however, they do not prevent nor reverse cocaine’s serious physiological effects. Our approach to treating cocaine toxicity and abuse is to rapidly hydrolyze the cocaine molecule into inactive metabolites using a bacterial cocaine esterase (CocE), thus eliminating cocaine’s harmful and strong reinforcing effects. This work has taken major steps toward developing CocE into a viable pharmacotherapy for both cocaine addiction and toxicity. Initially two thermostabilizing mutations were combined to improve the half-life of CocE. This mutant was pharmacologically characterized in vitro as well as in vivo using rodent models of cocaine lethality and reinforcement. The pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties of CocE, including in vivo rates of cocaine hydrolysis across species, circulating half-life, and mechanisms of elimination, were assessed. CocE’s capacity to hydrolyze cocaine in the presence of commonly co-abused drugs, and its capacity to hydrolyze active cocaine metabolites were investigated. The results from these studies support the notion that cocaine esterase displays strong therapeutic potential, and that it may proceed towards clinical development. Moreover, it is a comprehensive analysis of how protein biologics may be used as effective pharmacotherapeutics. Advisors/Committee Members: Sunahara, Roger K. (committee member), Woods, James H.

La prise répétée de cocaïne entraine la mise en place d’une addiction durable. Cette maladie neuropsychiatrique est un problème de santé public majeur en France et dans le monde. Les effets aigus de la cocaïne sont maintenant bien connus mais il est encore difficile d’établir un consensus des conséquences d’une administration répétée de ce psychostimulant au niveau central. En effet, les résultats rapportés dans la littérature actuelle présentent de nombreuses disparités. Nous pensons que cela pourrait être dû aux différences de protocole d’administration utilisés par chaque laboratoire. Nous émettons l’hypothèse que si à l’heure actuelle il n’existe pas de traitement efficace pour traiter les cocaïnomanes, c’est que les thérapies ne prennent pas en compte les différentes modifications neurobiologiques induites par les différents profils de consommation. Afin de tester cette hypothèse, nous avons comparé deux profils d’administration différents de cocaïne chez le rat. Nous nous sommes intéressés aux conséquences comportementales, neurochimiques et cellulaires après un sevrage court et un sevrage long. Nous avons mis en évidence que les adaptations comportementales (activité locomotrice et exploratoire), neurochimiques (dopamine extracellulaire) et cellulaires (récepteurs dopaminergiques) basales et en réponse à une dose de rappel, sont différentes selon le profil d’administration de cocaïne. Nous avons également mis en évidence une anticipation neurochimique dopaminergique et locomotrice, exactement à l’heure habituelle d’injection et qui varie selon le profil d’administration. Dans un deuxième temps, nous avons montré que le BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor), qui est une neurotrophine du système catécholaminergique, varie à la fois au niveau central et au niveau périphérique, de façon spécifique pour chaque profil d’administration de cocaïne. L’utilisation en clinique de ce biomarqueur périphérique (BDNF), permettrait d’évaluer les variations neurobiologiques centrales chez les patients cocaïnomanes et d’établir un traitement thérapeutique approprié à leur profil de consommation. L’ensemble des résultats obtenus au cours de cette thèse, ont permis de montrer que le profil d’administration a une grande importance sur les conséquences neurobiologiques de la cocaïne

Pharmacology

Cocaine is a powerfully active psychostimulant which exerts its effects through blockade of dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine transporters and resultant increases in extracellular levels of these neurotransmitters. Much of the focus on cocaine abuse in the literature has been directed towards study of the dopamine system; however, several studies have identified a role for the serotonin system in regulating the rewarding effects of cocaine as well. Specifically, the serotonin 2C (5-HT2C) receptor regulates cocaine-induced alterations in serotonin and dopamine levels in an inhibitory manner, and 5-HT2C receptor agonist treatment attenuates cocaine-induced behaviors like self-administration. In the first aspect of the current thesis study, the effects of activation of 5-HT2C receptors on cocaine-induced conditioned place preference and behavioral sensitization were assessed. It was found that pretreatment with a 5-HT2C receptor agonist, Ro 60-0175, on cocaine (10 mg/kg) conditioning days of the conditioned place preference paradigm, attenuated the development of conditioned place preference in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that activation of 5-HT2C receptors inhibits the euphoric effects elicited by cocaine. Behavioral sensitization studies demonstrated that pretreatment with Ro 60-0175 prior to cocaine (10 mg/kg) over a 5 day period attenuated cocaine-induced hyperactivity. When injected with a cocaine challenge injection 10 days after the last cocaine injection, mice pretreated with Ro 60-0175 demonstrated lower levels of locomotor activity as compared to saline pretreated, cocaine-injected mice. This portion of the first study demonstrated that 5-HT2C receptor activity attenuated acute cocaine-induced conditioned reward, hyperactivity and the development of long-term alterations of cocaine exposure, as measured by behavioral sensitization. The second aspect of the current study focused on the regulation of anxiety produced by withdrawal from chronic cocaine administration. Anxiety during cocaine withdrawal is a component of the negative affective state often experienced by cocaine-dependent individuals during abstinence from drug use. Anxiety during cocaine withdrawal is likely to increase an individual's susceptibility to relapse to drug use in alleviation of this negative symptom. Studies have shown a downregulation of the serotonin and dopamine systems during withdrawal that potentially contributes to anxiety symptoms. As the 5-HT2C receptor exerts inhibitory control over both the serotonin and dopamine systems, it was hypothesized that blockade of 5-HT2C receptors would attenuate anxiety-like behavior during cocaine withdrawal. Previous studies have identified co-localization of 5-HT2C receptors on inhibitory gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurons, thus it was hypothesized that a 5-HT2C receptor-GABA mediated mechanism would be involved in the regulation of anxiety during withdrawal. The dorsal raphe brain region was targeted in these studies, as this region is the primary…

▼ Drug tolerance, a loss of drug effect relative to initial impact, is a common outcome of effects of repeated cocaine administration on operant behavior in humans and nonhumans. Previous research with rats and monkeys has shown that tolerance to behavioral effects of cocaine develops if the drug is administered before behavioral test sessions but does not if it is administered after sessions, an outcome which is referred to as contingent tolerance. Many experiments have found contingent tolerance, except a recent experiment using pigeons. The results of that study suggested that pigeons might develop tolerance to effects of cocaine regardless of whether the drug was administered before or after behavioral test sessions. The current set of experiments focused on environmental and pharmacological factors in the development of contingent tolerance to cocaine in pigeons by examining various relations between time of drug administration and the conduct of behavioral test sessions. Experiment 1 examined if cocaine administered immediately before or immediately after the behavioral session led to the development of tolerance to effects of cocaine during the behavioral session. The results showed that pre-session administration of cocaine reliably led to tolerance, and post-session administration of cocaine led to tolerance in half the subjects. Experiment 2 examined whether eating under effects of cocaine in the home cage, which occurs if the drug is given post-session, contributed to the development of tolerance to effects of cocaine on key pecking during the behavioral session. In this experiment, some subjects were administered cocaine after the behavioral session and immediately before being fed their post-session food ration, and other subjects were fed their post-session food ration immediately after the session and were administered cocaine one hour later. Results of Experiment 2 found that eating in the home cage under the effects of cocaine was not necessary for tolerance to develop to effects of cocaine during the behavioral session, and that the majority of subjects developed tolerance from post-session cocaine administration. Experiment 3 examined whether mere exposure to cocaine in the home cage without exposure to an experimental session led to tolerance to effects of cocaine during a behavioral session. Mere drug exposure did not reliably produce tolerance during the behavioral session. Experiment 4 examined if daily cocaine administration during dose-response curve redetermination was necessary for tolerance to develop. The results showed that tolerance from post-session cocaine administration was readily observed even when chronic dosing was discontinued during dose-response curve assessment. Therefore, the combined results showed that pigeons often develop tolerance to effects of cocaine during the behavioral session when cocaine is administered post-session. Some aspect of exposure to the experimental session or experimental context on a regular basis was necessary for tolerance to develop, yet this… Advisors/Committee Members: Branch, Marc N.

▼ Drug toxicity may cause liver injury, resulting in damage to cells and tissues. This damage can lead to cytotoxic events that may result in an activation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). A study was conducted to determine if cocaine and acetaminophen toxicity lead to DNA damage and to the activation of the repair protein, PARP in the liver using the hepatotoxicants: cocaine and acetaminophen (APAP). A dose-response analysis for cocaine concluded that a dose as low as 20 mg/kg resulted in elevated ALT levels. A higher dose of 60 mg/kg was tested for analyses but resulted in severe hemorrhaging. The dose-response analyses for APAP resulted in no elevated liver enzyme levels for a 75 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg dose. A dose of 50 mg/kg for cocaine, and a dose of 300 mg/kg for APAP were used to analyze temporal trends for both toxicants. Both cocaine and APAP produced incremental increases in ALT at the 2 hour, 6 hour, 18 hour, and 24 hour time points, respectively. PARP activity analysis for cocaine measured the highest activity at the 2hr and 6hr time points. PARP analysis for acetaminophen measured gradual increases until the 18 hour time point where the highest level of PARP activity was measured. A PARP inhibition analysis was conducted with cocaine and (APAP) to understand the impact of a PARP inhibitor, 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline (DIQ), on PARP activity in the liver. A 50 mg/kg dose of cocaine or a 300 mg/kg dose of APAP was administered, followed by a 10 mg/kg dose of DIQ at 1) the time of initial toxicant dose (0 hour), or 2) 1 hour after initial toxicant dose (1hr). The PARP inhibition analysis for cocaine and APAP was conducted at 6 and 18 hours post initial dose, respectively, when the highest levels of PARP were observed. Inhibition analyses determined that ALT declined significantly when DIQ was administered immediately following the initial toxicant dose for both toxicants. DIQ administered 1 hr after initial toxicant dose resulted in slightly higher ALT than the 0 hr time point. Decreases in PARP activity were observed at the 0 hr time point, with slightly higher PARP levels observed at the 1 hr time point. Decreased PARP activity was observed following DIQ treatment with both, a concurrent drug treatment and treatment following drug administration. Cocaine and APAP treatment did not cause DNA fragmentation. A liver glutathione (GSH) analysis conducted for cocaine and APAP did not correlate with DIQ alteration of PARP activity. The mechanism of DIQ effects on drug-induced hepatotoxicity appears to be GSH independent. DIQ was effective in reducing drug-induced hepatotoxicity and preserving organ function.

▼ The aim of the present series of experiments was to outline the influence of different doses of cocaine during training, training schedule, training length and abstinence duration to modulate subsequent extinction and reinstatement patterns. Abram Amsel??s general theory of persistence were used to both design and explain various aspects of these models. For Experiment 1, rats self-administered cocaine (0.25, 0.50 or 1.00 mg/kg) intravenously and were then tested in an extinction preparation using saline infusions (5 days) and then only the stimulus light as the reinforcer (3 days). Experiment 2 examined schedules by magnitude interactions by training rats on two fixed-ratio (FR) schedules (FR-1 or FR-10 using either 0.25 or 1.00 mg/kg cocaine). Animals were tested in an extinction protocol (10 days; no stimulus light) and subsequently tested for reinstatement (1 day) that utilized presentations of the stimulus light. Experiment 3 addressed the effects of training length (15 or 30 days of training using either 0.25 or 1.00 mg/kg cocaine) using the same protocol as in Experiment 2. Experiment 4 examined the modulation potential of two abstinence lengths (15 or 30 days using either 0.25 or 0.50 mg/kg cocaine) using the same conditions as Experiment 2. Experiment 1 indicated the greatest resistance to extinction using the lowest training dose (0.25 mg/kg). The removal of saline caused an apparent extinction burst indicative of reward seeking. Experiment 2 showed that animals trained under partial reinforcement schedules persisted more during extinction. Furthermore, rats trained using 1.00 were more resistant than those trained with 0.25 mg/kg. Reinstatement of drug seeking was more pronounced in rats trained using an FR-10 schedule. Experiment 3 indicated greater resistance to extinction in rats trained for 15 versus 30 days. Rats trained on 0.50 mg/kg for 30 days showed less cue-induced reinstatement than those trained for 15 days. Experiment 4 showed increased resistance to extinction when rats were trained on 0.25 mg/kg and forced to abstain for 30 versus 15 days. Directionally opposite effects were apparent in groups trained with 0.50 mg/kg. Reinstatement data indicated greater responsivity to cues by animals abstaining for 30 versus 15 days.

▼ New neurons are born in the adult hippocampus in a region known as the subgranular zone (SGZ). This process is dynamically regulated and new neurons are thought to be important for certain types of spatial learning and memory. Proliferation of SGZ neural progenitors is decreased by drugs of abuse, yet it is not clear how the type and amount of drug as well as the pattern of administration changes long-term effects on neurogenesis. In addition, it is unclear what role if any SGZ neurogenesis plays in initiating drug-taking or relapse behaviors, or whether changes in neurogenesis are merely side effects of drug-taking. I first examined effects of chronic cocaine self-administration and withdrawal on the different stages of neurogenesis. I found an early deficit in proliferation of neural progenitors, as well as a 4 week delayed increase in doublecortin-positive (DCX+) immature neurons which were common to both rats in withdrawal or those continuing to self-administer cocaine. I next asked the question of the functional consequence of changes in adult hippocampal neurogenesis to the acquisition and maintenance of drug-taking, as well as relapse to drug-taking. I found that reduced adult neurogenesis via cranial irradiation prior to cocaine-taking was associated with increased acquisition of drug-taking and increased motivation for cocaine, but not sucrose, while reduced adult neurogenesis after rats have acquired cocaine self-administration was associated with increased resistance to extinction of drug-seeking behavior. Finally, I asked if formation of drug-context associations would be altered in rodents with reduced neurogenesis in a passive drug exposure paradigm. I found that a transgenic mouse with reduced adult neurogenesis has impaired long-term drug-context memory in the cocaine conditioned place preference paradigm (CPP). Together these findings suggest that reduced adult hippocampal neurogenesis is a risk factor for drug addiction, that decreased proliferation after chronic drug intake likely contributes to drug-taking and drug-seeking behaviors, and that the delayed increase in immature neurons after drug-taking is likely protective against relapse. In sum, increases in adult hippocampal neurogenesis are beneficial both to the naïve and addicted brain, and therapeutics specifically increasing adult neurogenesis could aid in preventing initial addiction as well preventing future relapse.

▼ BACKGROUND: Those who suffer from addiction are unable to discontinue use despite serious consequences affecting their social, professional, and family lives. Individuals who suffer from the disorder often alienate themselves from loved ones and lose their jobs. Addiction involves continuing a behavior despite severe negative consequences. Numerous studies have identified a relationship between impulsivity and the development of substance abuse. This study examines the relationship of impulsive personality facets and neural functioning associated with inhibition. SUBJECTS: The study sample included 24 healthy control participants and 56 cocaine-addicted participants. Participants ranged in age from 25 to 54 years old with a mean age of 43.27 (±SD 7.84). The group was comprised of 68 male and 12 female participants, 28.7% self identified as Caucasian, 66.3% African American, 3.8% Hispanic, and 1.3% Asian/Other. Healthy controls and cocaine-addicted participants were similar in age and race but differed in gender (p= .02). The control group had 17 males and 7 females while the cocaine-addicted group had 51 males and 5 females. METHODS: Demographic information was gathered for all participants. Each participant also completed a Neuroticism Extroversion and Openness (NEO) personality measure and Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID), Wechsler Test of Adult Reading (WTAR). They then performed the stop signal task (SST) during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to gather data on neural activation during Stop-Success (SS) and Stop-Failure (SF). fMRI data was analyzed using FSL imaging software. All statistics were run with SPSS software. Functional ROIs were identified and analyzed in fMRI Expert Analysis Tool query (FEATqueary) to gather data on each participantÕs change in blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) activation during Stop-Success (SS) and Stop-Failure (SF). Impulsive personality facets were then used to identify relationships between BOLD activations of the ROIs. RESULTS: Between group comparisons found significant differences in mean scores on all of the impulsive personality facets except for Exploratory Excitability and Persistence from the TCI, and Excitement Seeking from the NEO. Neuroimaging results are similar to other studies utilizing the SST finding changes in activation of the middle frontal gyrus, superior frontal gyrus, cingulate gyrus, medial frontal gyrus, insula, caudate and supramarginal gyrus during Stop-Failure; and superior parietal lobule, middle frontal gyrus, precuneus, supramarginal gyrus, inferior temporal gyrus, and middle occipital gyrus during Stop-Success. However, no differences in BOLD activation between groups were observed. Numerous relationships were identified between the personality facets and BOLD activation of the regions of interest (ROIs). To further elucidate this relationship between neural functioning and personality a principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted on all eleven personality facets.

UTILIZING NOVEL DOSE EQUIVALENCE METHODOLOGIES TO EXAMINE COCAINE'S EFFECTS ON THE VASCULATURE Neil S. Lamarre Doctor of Philosophy Temple University School of Medicine, 2013 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Ronald J. Tallarida, Ph.D. Cocaine abuse and addiction is a serious health problem, resulting in thousands of emergency room visits and deaths each year in the United States. It is particularly toxic to the cardiovascular system, including deleterious effects on the peripheral vasculature. These effects are not well understood, but evidence suggests chronic cocaine use may lead to endothelial dysfunction, thereby increasing relative risk of a number of other cardiovascular diseases including stroke, aneurysm, myocardial infarction, hypertension, etc. Data from our lab, and others, suggest that the presence of a functional endothelium has a dramatic effect on the contractility of the rat aorta that is agonist-specific. Attenuation of this endothelium-dependent vasodilatory component of agonist action is a primary feature of endothelial dysfunction. We have utilized dose equivalence theory to calculate the dose response relationship for the endothelium-dependent vasodilatory component of an agonist causing overt vasoconstriction. This component cannot be measured directly, but our novel methodology allows us to quantitate agonist-specific impairment of vasodilation, and describe it using the familiar parameters of the dose response curve. Another strength of this method, relative to currently used in vitro methods, is that it also avoids the confounding variable of a second agonist used to produce the initial vasoconstriction. To validate the methodology, a pilot study was performed examining the endothelial dysfunction in STZ-induced diabetic rats, as a positive control for endothelial dysfunction. Interestingly, this treatment showed impairment in the endothelium-dependent vasodilatory component of action of norepinephrine, but not of angiotensin-II. Thus, our initial hypothesis was confirmed - that disruption of the vasodilatory components of various agonists are independent, and that agonist-specific information may prove useful. Next, we employed our new methodology utilizing the rat aorta as our vascular model to test the hypothesis that chronic cocaine administration causes endothelial dysfunction. We first examined the endothelium-dependent vasodilation component of a number of physiologically important vasoconstrictors, and attempted to determine which vasodilatory mediators contributed to the effect. We found the endothelium to have a profound effect on the dose response curve to three important endogenous agonists. These data suggest that under conditions of endothelial dysfunction exaggerated vasoconstriction could occur, even within normal plasma concentration ranges of these vasoconstrictors, resulting in elevated blood pressure and further damage to the endothelium over time. No endothelial dysfunction was observed with this treatment paradigm, using our methodology or the standard…

Pharmacology

The role of chemokines as chemotactic cytokines and their functions in the immune system and related pathologies are well defined. Recently, strong evidence supporting the hypothesis that chemokines can act as modulators of neuronal activity and influence neurotransmission has been reported. The chemokine CXCL12 is constitutively expressed in adult brain and expression of CXCL12 and its cognate receptor CXCR4 have been reported in regions of rat brain that construct dopamine (DA) and glutamate (GLU) pathways such as ventral tegmental area (VTA), substantia nigra (SN), and nucleus accumbens (NAc). In the central nervous system (CNS), activation of CXCR4 on dopaminergic neurons and astrocytes initiate cascade of events that leads to DA and GLU release and influence synaptic transmission. In vivo, intracerebroventricular (ICV) CXCL12 has been shown to potentiate cocaine-induced locomotor activity. Based on these evidences, the studies, as outlined in this dissertation, aimed to expand understanding of how CXCL12/CXCR4 interaction can affect cocaine-induced behavior and reinforcement, with special focus on mechanisms involving GLU. We first evaluated involvement of CXCR4 activation by CXCL12 on cocaine-induced locomotor activity using a selective CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100. Results demonstrated that AMD3100 (5, 10 mg/kg, IP) pretreatment dose-dependently attenuated cocaine-induced locomotor activity without affecting the baseline activity. Thereafter, effects of AMD3100 on cocaine’s reinforcing efficacy were tested using a biased conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm. In all CPP experiments, saline pretreated controls established a significant preference for the cocaine-paired context following four pairings with cocaine (10 mg/kg, IP). Rats pretreated with 2.5 and 5 mg/kg AMD3100 prior to each pairing session showed significantly lower preference for the cocaine-paired side, whereas rats pretreated with 1 mg/kg AMD3100 showed similar preference for the cocaine-paired side as the saline controls when tested in the absence of the drug. Rats pretreated with AMD3100 (5 mg/kg, IP) just once prior to testing showed significantly lower preference for the cocaine-paired side. These results demonstrate that CXCR4 antagonism reduces development and expression of cocaine-induced CPP. Intravenous cocaine self-administration (SA) was performed to examine the effects of AMD3100 on the acquisition of cocaine-taking behavior and reinstatement to cocaine-seeking. Acquisition of cocaine SA was studied using three doses of cocaine (0.375, 0.5, 0.75 mg/kg/infusion) on a fixed-ratio 1 (FR-1) schedule of reinforcement. Two doses of AMD3100 (5, 10 mg/kg, IP) were tested. In all SA experiments, saline pretreated controls readily acquired cocaine self-administration. The lower and higher AMD3100 decreased the number of reinforcers earned during the two hour sessions compared to saline controls when tested against acquisition of 0.375 and 0.5 mg/kg/infusion cocaine. However, when tested against the 0.75 mg/kg/infusion…

▼ In adolescence, poor decision making, risk taking, and druguse have been strongly linked; however the causal relationships among thesefactors are poorly understood. As causality is difficult to disentangle inhumans, an animal model of risk taking was used to investigate causalrelationships between adolescent risk taking and cocaine self-administration inrats. Specifically, a Risky Decision-making Task (RDT) that was developed inour laboratory was used to investigate whether risky decision-making is apre-existing condition which may predict the propensity for drug use, and/or ifelevated risk taking is a result of drug use itself. In addition, the RDT wasused to determine if the relationships between risky decision-making aremodulated by dopaminergic signaling in the prefrontal cortex and striatum, as thesebrain regions have been heavily implicated in mediating both risky decision-makingand drug use. Findings from the experiments indicated that individualvariability in RDT performance during adolescence significantly predictedcocaine intake (i.e., greater risk taking was associated with greater cocaineintake) and that cocaine self-administrationrats exhibited greater risk taking compared to controlseven after 6 weeks of abstinence. Moreover, lower striatal D1 and D2 receptorexpression was associated with greater adolescent risk taking, and activationof D2 receptors in the ventral, but not dorsal, striatum biased choice behaviortoward a more risk averse pattern. These data indicatethat adolescent risk taking predicts acquisition of cocaineself-administration, and that cocaine self-administration can causelong-lasting elevations in risk taking. The findings that lower dopaminereceptor expression in striatum was associated with elevated risk taking andthat activation of dopamine (especially D2) receptors in the ventral striatumbiased choice behavior in the RDT toward greater risk aversion strongly suggestthat D2 receptors play a causal role in both risk taking behavior and cocaineuse. Together these findings provide support for a “vicious cycle” between risktaking and cocaine use which may be regulated by D2 receptors and mightcontribute to addictive processes.

▼ Animal studies demonstrate prenatal exposure to cocaine causes disruption of the neurotrophic roles of monoaminergic transmitters during early development, which, in turn, affects the cortical neuronal development of specific brain regions, including prefrontal cortex. In humans, this brain area is implicated in executive function (EF), a set of cognitive processes that are posited to subserve goal-directed behavior. Significant differences in EF between children with prenatal cocaine exposure (PCE) and well-matched comparison groups have not been consistently found. Within a longitudinal context, there have been no studies investigating the potential effect of PCE on the developmental trajectory of EF. Participants were children of pregnant women who were prospectively enrolled at birth in a longitudinal study of the developmental effects of PCE. At study enrollment, which generally occurred during pregnancy, cocaine-using mothers were matched to non-cocaine using mothers on race, socioeconomic status, parity and location of prenatal care. Both groups were predominately poor and African American and did not differ by child sex. At birth, PCE group had higher levels of other prenatal drug exposures (alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana), shorter gestational ages, and smaller head circumferences. Measures of EF (inhibition, working memory, and shifting) were obtained by blinded examiners when the children were ages 7, 10one half, and 12one half years. There were no group differences between the PCE children (n = 120) and non-exposed children (n = 116) with regard to cross-sectional performance on measures of EF at any time point. Univariate latent growth models were used to investigate the effect of amount of PCE as well as pre- and post-natal characteristics of the child and the environment (i.e., birth head circumference, gender, quality of the caregiving environment) on the developmental trajectory of inhibition, working memory, and shifting. Results indicated no direct effect of PCE on the initial performance or the development of EF over time. Smaller birth head circumference negatively predicted the inhibitory and working memory skills at age 7 as well as worse development of inhibitory skills over time. Additionally, a better quality home environment positively predicted working memory ability at age 7 years, though the home environment did not predict the developmental trajectory of any EF over time.

▼ Dysregulation of the mesolimbic dopamine (DA) system is a hallmark of the pathophysiology of drug addiction and many other prevalent diseases. The nucleus accumbens (NAc), a region essential for the incentive and hedonic properties of drugs of abuse, is a key biological substrate. At least 90% of the neurons in the NAc are medium spiny neurons (MSNs), which provide the sole projections from the region. MSNs can divided into two classes by biochemistry and anatomy: D1(+) MSNs project primarily to midbrain DA areas, while A2A/D2(+) MSNs send afferents to the ventral pallidum. MSNs generally rest at relatively hyperpolarized membrane potentials, so excitatory drive is essential to governing the output of the NAc and subsequent complex behavioral outcomes. The prefrontal cortex (PFC), ventral hippocampus, and basolateral amygdala provide major excitatory inputs to the NAc and have been examined recently in the context of cocaine exposure. However, despite its comparable anatomical denseness, little is known about how afferents from the midline nuclei of the thalamus (mThal) to the NAc modulate reward-related behaviors and learning and memory processes. While much remains to be understood, drug-induced modifications of excitatory signaling (i.e. synaptic plasticity) in the NAc have been suggested to underlie the maladaptive behaviors observed in addiction. N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are of paramount importance in regulating excitatory synaptic strength and learning and memory. Therefore we aimed to assess the function of NMDARs in NAc core D1(+) MSNs, with a particular emphasis on mThal inputs. We determined that cocaine sensitization and abstinence enhances NMDAR function at mThal-D1(+), mThal-D1(-), and PFC-D1(+) synapses. At mThal-D1(+) synapses specifically, we demonstrated that cocaine enhances GluN2C/D function and NMDAR-dependent synaptic plasticity. The role for these NMDARs cocaine-conditioned behaviors is evidenced by the finding that mice with a D1-specific GluN1 genetic deletion did not reinstate a place preference to cocaine. Collectively these data emphasize the emerging role for D1-NMDARs in reward learning, and highlight mThal inputs and GluN2C/D subunits as novel targets for the treatment of psychostimulant use disorders.
