Dopamine D1- and D2-like receptor mechanisms in relapse to cocaine-seeking behavior: effects of selective antagonists and agonists.

چکیده
Dopaminergic mechanisms are thought to be critical in mediating relapse to cocaine-seeking behavior. This study examined the different roles of D1- and D2-like receptor mechanisms in the relapse process. Squirrel monkeys were given extended histories of i. v. cocaine self-administration under conditions in which responding was maintained jointly by response-contingent cocaine injections and a cocaine-paired visual stimulus (second-order schedule). Responding was then extinguished by substituting saline for cocaine injections and omitting presentations of the cocaine-paired stimulus. Subsequently, noncontingent priming injections of cocaine combined with restoration of the cocaine-paired stimulus induced dose-dependent reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior, with response rates approaching those maintained by active cocaine self-administration. The priming effects of cocaine were attenuated by several D1- and D2-like receptor antagonists and low efficacy agonists but not by the D3-preferring antagonists UH 232 and AJ-76. The priming effects of cocaine were mimicked by the D2-like receptor agonists R(-)-propylnorapomorphine hydrochloride (NPA) and quinpirole, less consistently by 7-OH-DPAT, and not by the D1-like receptor agonists SKF-81297 and SKF-82958, the D3-preferring agonist PD-128,907, or any low efficacy agonist. Cotreatment with NPA, PD-128,907, and 7-OH-DPAT did not alter reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior induced by a maximally effective priming dose of cocaine, whereas cotreatment with D1-like receptor agonists attenuated the priming effects of cocaine. The results suggest that D1- and D2-like receptors play fundamentally different roles in the relapse process. Although stimulation of D2-like, but probably not D3-like, receptors appears necessary for induction of relapse, either stimulation or blockade of D1-like receptors appears to be inhibitory with respect to relapse.

The Effects of Dopamine Receptor Agents on Swim Stress-Induced Inhibition of Naloxone-Induced Jumping Behavior in Morphine-Dependent Mice
In the present study, interactions of dopamine receptor agonists and antagonists with water swimming stress (WSS) on naloxone-induced jumping in morphine-dependent mice were examined. Mice were rendered dependent as described in the methods section. The opioid receptor antagonist, naloxone (1 mg/kg), was injected to elicit jumping (as a withdrawal sign). The first group exposed to WSS in the pr...

The reinforcing effects of D1-like and D2-like agonists, and their capacity to modify cocaine self-administration, were compared in rats with extensive cocaine self-administration experience. Cocaine (0.01–1.0 mg i.v.) dose-dependently maintained responding under a fixed ratio (FR) 5 schedule of reinforcement, and an inverted U-shaped function characterized the relationship between unit dose an...
متن کاملLateral hypothalamus chemical stimulation-induced antinociception was attenuated by injection of dopamine D1 and D2 receptor antagonists in the ventral tegmental area
Introduction: Stimulation or inactivation of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) produces antinociception. Studies showed a role for the ventral tegmental area (VTA) in the antinociception induced by LH chemical stimulation through the orexinergic receptors. In this study, we assessed the role of intra-VTA dopamine D1 and D2 receptors in antinociceptive effects of cholinergic agonist, carbachol, m...

Introduction: The hippocampus (HIP), the primary brain structure related to learning and memory, receives sparse but comprehensive dopamine innervations and contains dopamine D1/D2-like receptors. It is demonstrated that dopamine receptors in dentate gyrus (DG) region of HIP have a remarkable function in spatial reward processing. Much less is known about the involvement of HIP and its D1...
