CB1R chronic intermittent pharmacological activation facilitates amphetamine seeking and self-administration and changes in CB1R/CRFR1 expression in the amygdala and nucleus accumbens in rats

Patterns of drug ingestion may have a dissimilar impact on the brain, and therefore also the development of drug addiction. One pattern is binge intoxication that refers to the ingestion of a high amount of drug on a single occasion followed by an abstinence period of variable duration. In this study, our goal was to contrast the effect of continuous low amounts with intermittent higher amounts of Arachidonyl-chloro-ethylamide (ACEA), a CB1R agonist, on amphetamine seeking and ingestion, and describe the effects on the expression of CB1R and CRFR1 in the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) and in the nucleus accumbens shell (NAcS). Adult male Wistar rats were treated with a daily administration of vehicle or 20 μg of ACEA, or four days of vehicle followed by 100 μg of ACEA on the fifth day, for a total of 30 days. Upon completion of this treatment, the CB1R and CRFR1 expression in the CeA and NAcS was evaluated by immunofluorescence. Additional groups of rats were evaluated for their anxiety levels (elevated plus maze, EPM), amphetamine (AMPH) self-administration (ASA) and breakpoint (A-BP), as well as AMPH-induced conditioned place preference (A-CPP). Results indicated that ACEA induced changes in the CB1R and CRFR1 expression in both the NAcS and CeA. An increase in anxiety-like behavior, ASA, A-BP and A-CPP was also observed. Since the intermittent administration of 100 μg of ACEA induced the most evident changes in most of the parameters studied, we concluded that binge-like ingestion of drugs induces changes in the brain that may make the subject more vulnerable to developing drug addiction.
