| Abstract | Drugs of abuse usurp the mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity in areas of the brain, a process that may contribute to the development of addiction (Kauer & Malenka, 2007). We previously reported that GABAergic synapses onto dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) exhibit long term potentiation (LTPGABA) blocked by in vivo exposure to morphine. The presynaptically-maintained LTP requires that retrogradely released nitric oxide (NO) activates a presynaptic cGMP signaling cascade. Previous work reported that inhibitory GABAA receptor synapses in the VTA are also potentiated by cAMP (Bonci & Williams, 1997; Melis et al., 2002). Here we explored the interactions between cGMP-dependent (PKG) and cAMP- dependent (PKA) protein kinases in the regulation of these GABAergic synapses and LTPGABA. Activation of PKG was required for NO-cGMP signaling and was also essential for the induction of synaptically-elicited LTPGABA, but not for its maintenance. Whereas synapses containing GABAA receptors were potentiated by NO-cGMP signaling, synapses containing GABAB receptors on the same cells were not potentiated. Moreover, although the cAMP-PKA system potentiated GABAA synapses, synaptically-induced LTPGABA was independent of PKA activation. Surprisingly, however, raising cGMP levels saturated potentiation of these synapses, precluding further potentiation by cAMP and suggesting a convergent endpoint for both signaling pathways in the regulation of GABAergic release. We further found that persistent GABAergic synaptic modifications observed with in vivo morphine did not involve the presynaptic cAMP-PKA cascade. Taken together, our data suggest a synapse-specific role for NO-cGMP-PKG signaling pathway in opioid-induced plasticity of VTA GABAA synapses. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
