Título: | Chronic morphine treatment alters N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in freshly isolated neurons from nucleus accumbens |
Autor: | Martin, Gilles; Guadaño-Ferraz, Ana CSIC ORCID ; Morte, Beatriz CSIC ORCID; Lecea, Luis de | Fecha de publicación: | 2004 | Editor: | American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics | Citación: | Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics 311(1): 265-273 (2004) | Resumen: | Although there is now evidence of a role for N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in nucleus accumbens (NAcc) neurons in the effects of chronic opiate treatment, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are still unclear. Therefore, we studied the effects of chronic morphine on the pharmacological and biophysical properties of NMDA receptors in freshly isolated medium spiny neurons from NAcc. We found that chronic morphine treatment did not alter the affinity for NMDA receptor agonists such as glutamate, homoquinolinic acid, and NMDA, but decreased the affinity of glycine, the allosteric NMDA receptor coagonist, from 2.24 ± 0.15 μM to 5.1 ± 1.45 μM. Chronic morphine treatment also altered the affinity of two noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonists, 7-chloro-kynurenic acid and ifenprodil. However, morphine had no effect on a third antagonist, d-(-)-2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid. Single-exponential fits of desensitized NMDA current tails gave tau values ranging from 0.5 to 4 s in neurons from both control and morphine-treated rats. However, a shift to the left of the distribution of tau values after morphine treatment revealed that NMDA current desensitization rate was accelerated in a majority of NAcc neurons. Taken together with our recent molecular studies, our data are consistent with a shift away from NMDA receptor subunit (NR) NR2B and 2C function toward increased NR2A subunit expression or function after chronic morphine, a process that could alter excitability and integrative properties and may represent a neuroadaptation of NAcc medium spiny neurons underlying morphine dependence. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/152418 | DOI: | 10.1124/jpet.104.067504 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1124/jpet.104.067504 issn: 0022-3565 e-issn: 1521-0103 |
