Stability of surface NMDA receptors controls synaptic and behavioral adaptations to amphetamine

Abstract: Plastic changes in glutamatergic synapses that lead to enduring drug craving and addiction are poorly understood. By focusing on the turnover and trafficking of NMDA receptors, we found that chronic exposure to the psychostimulant amphetamine induces selective downregulation of NMDA receptor NR2B subunits in the confined surface membrane pool of rat striatal neurons at synaptic sites. Remarkably, this downregulation is a long-lived event and results from the destabilization of surface-expressed NR2B due to acc… Show more

“…However, it is clear that additional insights can be gained by furthering these studies to include the dynamics of protein expression and degradation (7,8). In the brain, for example, protein turnover is critical to synaptic plasticity (32,33). Here, we report a large-scale analysis of in vivo protein turnover in mice, a commonly used model organism for the study of mammalian biology.…”

“…This work provides the methodology and theoretical framework necessary to conduct proteome-wide analyses of in vivo protein turnover in any model organism and environmental condition where a labeled diet can be incorporated into the experimental design. The approach will be generally useful in analyzing relationships between proteome homeostasis and biological phenotypes of interest, particularly in the brain, where protein turnover is critical to normal function (32,33) and accumulation of misfolded protein aggregates is a primary characteristic of neurodegenerative disease (44,45).…”

“…The extinction-reinstatement model, which best recapitulates the abstinence-relapse paradigm seen in human addicts (Schmidt et al, 2005;Epstein et al, 2006;Knackstedt and Kalivas, 2009), could determine if lack of Kal7 affects sensitivity to stress, drug, or contextinduced reinstatement. Additionally, studies examining NR2B inhibition in cocaine self-administration in Wt and Kal7 KO animals will be important to understanding the significance of the direct interaction of Kal7 and NR2B , the failure of self-administered cocaine to increase NAc NR2B expression in Kal7 KO mice, and the critical role of NR2B in the behavioral response to cocaine (Ma et al, 2006;Huang et al, 2009;Mao et al, 2009;Brown et al, 2011;Kiraly et al, 2011;Pascoli et al, 2011).…”

“…5), previously shown to lead to the disappearance of withdrawal anxiety (Van Sickle et al, 2004). Thus the depression of NMDAR function during FZP withdrawal may act as a compensatory negative feedback mechanism to protect the neuron from AMPAR-mediated overactivation as in amygdala neurons during fear conditioning (Zinebi et al, 2001(Zinebi et al, , 2003, striatal neurons after chronic amphetamine exposure (Mao et al, 2009), or spinal cord nociceptive synapses during chronic peripheral inflammation (Vikman et al, 2008). The reduction of GluN2B subunit-mediated NMDAR currents would serve as a homeostatic mechanism to offset neuronal hyperactivity generated by the progressive enhancement of AMPAR current and thus may serve as a physiological brake to down-regulate neuronal output, limiting withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety.…”
