Abstract
Alcohol exposure in adolescence is considered a major cause of cognitive impairments later in life including spatial learning and memory. Integrated stress response (ISR), a program of conservative translation and transcription, is crucial in synaptic plasticity and memory. Although previous studies have elucidated ISR in different brain areas involved in learning and memory disorders, the impact of ISR on learning and memory following adolescent alcohol exposure remains unclear. Here, we demonstrated that adolescent intermittent ethanol (AIE) exposure caused spatial learning and memory impairment, combined with neuronal damage in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), nucleus accumbens (NAc) and hippocampus (HIP) in adult rats. Moreover, integrated stress response inhibitor (ISRIB) administration not only improved spatial learning and memory impairment and neuronal damage but also inhibited the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER) and reversed changes in synaptic proteins. These findings suggested that ISRIB ameliorates AIE exposure-induced spatial learning and memory deficits by improving neural morphology and synaptic function through inhibiting ER stress signaling pathway in the mPFC, NAc and HIP in adulthood. Our findings may enhance comprehension of cognitive function and neuronal effects of adolescent ethanol exposure and ISRIB treatment may be an underlying potential option for addressing alcohol-induced learning and memory deficits.
