英文摘要 | The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is involved in contextual drug associations, which might be particularly important for environmental cue-induced relapse to drug seeking. In the present study, rats were first administered repeated morphine for 5 days (5 mg/kg, i.p.) in a contextually paired and unpaired design. After reexposure to the morphine-associated environment, which induced conditioned locomotor activity in the morphine-paired group, we performed a rat 27k 70-mer oligo array to profile gene expression in the NAc. One hundred fifty-five upregulated and 88 downregulated genes were found in the paired group compared with the unpaired group. Eight gene transcripts were then selected to confirm their alterations by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The identified genes generally play important roles in neuroactive receptor-ligand interactions, synapse plasticity, ion transport, and protein phosphorylation. Furthermore, the expression of the eight selected genes that were identified and confirmed to show significant fold changes in the first microarray experiment were again measured with qRT-PCR after morphine challenge (2 mg/kg, i.p.). As expected, 2 mg/kg morphine-induced context-specific sensitization. Meanwhile, mRNA expression of the selected genes showed marked upregulation in the morphine-paired group compared with the unpaired and acute groups. These results suggest that alterations in the expression of the identified genes in the NAc may contribute to the neuroplasticity underlying contextual cue-induced relapse to drug use.
