Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor of the central amygdala modulates the ethanol-induced tolerance to anxiolysis and withdrawal-induced anxiety in male rats.
The nicotine acetylcholinergic receptor (nAchR) in the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) is known to modulate anxiety traits as well as ethanol-induced behavioral effects. Therefore, the present study investigated the role of CeA nAChR in the tolerance to ethanol anxiolysis and withdrawal-induced anxiety-related effects in rats on elevated plus maze (EPM). To develop ethanol dependence, rats were given free access to an ethanol-containing liquid diet for 10 days. To assess the development of tolerance, separate groups of rats were challenged with ethanol (2 g/kg, i.p.) on days 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 during the period of ethanol exposure, followed by an EPM assessment. Moreover, expression of ethanol withdrawal was induced after switching ethanol-dependent rats to a liquid diet on day 11, and withdrawal-induced anxiety-like behavior was noted at different post-withdrawal time points using the EPM test. The ethanol-dependent rats were pretreated with intra-CeA (i.CeA) (bilateral) injections of nicotine (0.25 µg/rat) or mecamylamine (MEC) (5 ng/rat) before the challenge dose of ethanol on subthreshold tolerance on the 5th day or on peak tolerance day, that is, 7th or 10th, and before assessment of postwithdrawal anxiety on the 11th day on EPM. Bilateral i.CeA preadministration of nicotine before the challenge dose of ethanol on days 5, 7 and 10 exhibited enhanced tolerance, while injection of MEC, completely mitigated the tolerance to the ethanol-induced antianxiety effect. On the other hand, ethanol-withdrawn rats pretreated i.CeA with nicotine exacerbated while pretreatment with MEC, alleviated the ethanol withdrawal-induced anxiety on all time points. Thus, the present investigation indicates that stimulation of nAChR in CeA negatively modulates the ethanol-induced chronic behavioral effects on anxiety in rats. It is proposed that nAChR antagonists might be useful in the treatment of alcohol use disorder and ethanol withdrawal-related anxiety-like behavior.
期刊介绍：
Behavioural Pharmacology accepts original full and short research reports in diverse areas ranging from ethopharmacology to the pharmacology of schedule-controlled operant behaviour, provided that their primary focus is behavioural. Suitable topics include drug, chemical and hormonal effects on behaviour, the neurochemical mechanisms under-lying behaviour, and behavioural methods for the study of drug action. Both animal and human studies are welcome; however, studies reporting neurochemical data should have a predominantly behavioural focus, and human studies should not consist exclusively of clinical trials or case reports. Preference is given to studies that demonstrate and develop the potential of behavioural methods, and to papers reporting findings of direct relevance to clinical problems. Papers making a significant theoretical contribution are particularly welcome and, where possible and merited, space is made available for authors to explore fully the theoretical implications of their findings. Reviews of an area of the literature or at an appropriate stage in the development of an author’s own work are welcome. Commentaries in areas of current interest are also considered for publication, as are Reviews and Commentaries in areas outside behavioural pharmacology, but of importance and interest to behavioural pharmacologists. Behavioural Pharmacology publishes frequent Special Issues on current hot topics. The editors welcome correspondence about whether a paper in preparation might be suitable for inclusion in a Special Issue.
