摘要

γ-氨基丁酸B型受体(GABAB受体)是治疗药物成瘾的潜在靶点,伏隔核壳部(nucleus accumbens shell, AcbSh)是成瘾环 路的关键节点,但AcbSh GABAB受体与记忆再巩固的关系尚不清楚。本文旨在探讨AcbSh微量灌注GABAB受体激动剂巴氯 芬(baclofen, BLF)对吗啡奖赏记忆再巩固及复吸行为的影响。建立吗啡条件位置性偏爱(conditioned place preference, CPP)小 鼠模型,采用吗啡奖赏记忆提取激活实验,对比观察环境线索激活吗啡奖赏记忆后,双侧AcbSh灌注BLF对吗啡CPP、吗啡 激发CPP重建以及自主活动量的影响。结果表明,吗啡奖赏记忆激活后,AcbSh单次注入0.06 nmol/0.2 μL/侧或0. 12 nmol/0.2 μL/ 侧BLF显著抑制吗啡CPP,且吗啡激发不能重建CPP,而0.01 nmol/0.2 μL/侧BLF灌注不能抑制吗啡CPP。激活后注入生理盐 水及未激活组BLF灌注均未抑制CPP。无论是否激活吗啡奖赏记忆,BLF注入AcbSh都不影响小鼠自主活动。以上结果提 示,AcbSh GABAB受体参与了吗啡CPP的记忆再巩固。记忆激活后激动AcbSh GABAB受体可通过阻断吗啡CPP的记忆再巩 固,消除奖赏记忆,抑制复吸行为。

Abstract

Preclinical studies suggest that the GABAB receptor is a potential target for treatment of substance use disorders. Baclofen (BLF), a prototypical GABAB receptor agonist, is the only specific GABAB receptor agonist available for application in clinical addiction treatment. The nucleus accumbens shell (AcbSh) is a key node in the circuit that controls reward-directed behavior. However, the relationship between GABAB receptors in the AcbSh and memory reconsolidation was unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of intra-AcbSh injection of BLF on the reconsolidation of morphine reward memory. Male C57BL/6J mice were used to establish morphine conditioned place preference (CPP) model and carry out morphine reward memory retrieval and activation experiment. The effects of intra-AcbSh injection of BLF on morphine-induced CPP, reinstatement of CPP and locomotor activity were observed after environmental cues activating morphine reward memory. The results showed that intra-AcbSh injection of BLF (0.06 nmol/0.2 μL/side or 0.12 nmol/0.2 μL/side), rather than vehicle or BLF (0.01 nmol/0.2 μL/side), following morphine reward memory retrieval abolished morphine-induced CPP by disrupting its reconsolidation in mice. Moreover, this effect persisted for more than 14 days, which was not reversed by a morphine priming injection. Furthermore, intra-AcbSh injection of BLF without morphine reward memory retrieval had no effect on morphine-associated reward memory. Interestingly, administration of BLF into the AcbSh had no effect on the locomotor activity of mice during testing phase. Based on these results, we concluded that intra-AcbSh injection of BLF following morphine reward memory could erase morphine-induced CPP by disrupting its reconsolidation. Activating GABAB receptor in AcbSh during drug memory reconsolidation may be a potential approach to prevent drug relapse.
