Abstract

The profound alterations produced by cocaine on dopamine (DA) neurotransmission raise the possibility that dopamine transporter (DAT)-expressing neurons may modify DA transport in response to repeated cocaine exposure to maintain the appropriate efficiency of DA clearance. In this study, we determined the changes in molecular mechanisms of DAT regulation in rats with a history of repeated cocaine self-administration followed by 3 weeks of abstinence. Using ex vivo caudate putamen (CPu) and nucleus accumbens (NAcc) synaptosomal preparations, we found that DA uptake was significantly higher in the CPu and NAcc of cocaine-experienced animals compared with yoked saline animals. Surface distribution, p-Ser phosphorylation, and protein phosphatase 2A catalytic subunit (PP2Ac) interaction of DAT were all altered in the CPu. Maximal velocity (V(max)) values were elevated both in the CPu and NAcc of cocaine-experienced rats compared with saline controls. Although there was no change in the apparent affinity for DA in the CPu, increased DA affinity was evident in the NAcc. Consistent with elevated DAT activity in cocaine-experienced animals, a higher level of surface DAT, DAT-PP2Ac association, and decreased serine phosphorylation of DAT...Continue Reading
