Modulation by Cocaine of Dopamine Receptors through miRNA-133b in Zebrafish Embryos
The use of cocaine during pregnancy can affect the mother and indirectly might alter the development of the embryo/foetus. Accordingly, in the present work our aim was to study in vivo (in zebrafish embryos) the effects of cocaine on the expression of dopamine receptors and on miR-133b. These embryos were exposed to cocaine hydrochloride (HCl) at 5 hours post-fertilization (hpf) and were then c...
متن کاملCocaine sensitization: modulation by dopamine D2 receptors.
Repeated administration of cocaine progressively increases drug-induced locomotor activity. This study examined the role of dopamine D(1)- and D(2)-like receptors in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in mediating these sensitized behaviors. For initiation experiments, animals received bilateral intra-mPFC injections of either saline, the D(1)-like agonist SKF 81297 (3 nmol/side) or the D(2)-l...

90 | 2010 | VOLUME 1 VANDERBILT REVIEWS | NEUROSCIENCE ©2010 Vanderbilt Brain Institute. All rights reserved. Brain development is a prolonged and dynamic process that begins in the prenatal period and continues through adolescence . This phenomenon can be appreciated by looking at the examples of spatiotemporal dynamics of dendritic differentiation and synaptogenesis. Therefore these dynamics ...
متن کاملCocaine Modulates the Expression of Opioid Receptors and miR-let-7d in Zebrafish Embryos
Prenatal exposure to cocaine, in mammals, has been shown to interfere with the expression of opioid receptors, which can have repercussions in its activity. Likewise, microRNAs, such as let-7, have been shown to regulate the expression of opioid receptors and hence their functions in mammals and in vitro experiments. In light of this, using the zebrafish embryos as a model our aim here was to e...
