| Abstract | Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a potent neurotrophic factor for midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons, while the DA neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a crucial part of the neural circuits associated with drug addiction. Recently, more and more evidence suggests that GDNF plays an important role in negatively regulating the neuroadaptations induced by chronic exposure to drugs, which was thought to be the neurobiological basis of drug addiction, but the underlying mechanism is still unknown. More recently, the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), which plays an important role in the process of neural plasticity, has been identified as an alternative signaling receptor for GDNF. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether NCAM was involved in the effects of GDNF on the neuroadaptations induced by chronic morphine exposure. Immunostaining results showed that NCAM was widely expressed in the VTA of rats, including all the DA neurons. The results also showed that the phosphorylation of NCAM-associated FAK, but not the total NCAM, was upregulated by GDNF, and this upregulation was inhibited by pre-treatment with the NCAM function-blocking antibody. Moreover, pre-treatment with the antibody could antagonize the effect of GDNF on inhibiting the neuroadaptations induced by chronic morphine exposure, including the decreases of the number and length of neurites and the size of cell bodies of VTA dopamine neurons, as well as the increase of tyrosine hydroxylase in the VTA dopamine neurons. These results suggest that NCAM signaling is involved in the negative regulatory effects of GDNF on chronic morphine-induced neuroadaptations. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
