DESCRIPTION:

RNA sequencing on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and nucleus accumbens (NAc) from unaffected comparison subjects (n = 20) and subjects diagnosed with opioid use disorder OUD (n = 20). Transcriptomic analyses identified differentially expressed transcripts and investigated the transcriptional coherence between brain regions using rank-rank hypergeometric orderlap.transcriptional differences by brain region in unaffected comparison subjects, finding unique transcriptional profiles in the DLPFC and NAc

TITLE:

Transcriptional Alterations in Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex and Nucleus Accumbens Implicate Neuroinflammation and Synaptic Remodeling in Opioid Use Disorder.

ABSTRACT:

Prevalence rates of opioid use disorder (OUD) have increased dramatically, accompanied by a surge of overdose deaths. While opioid dependence has been extensively studied in preclinical models, an understanding of the biological alterations that occur in the brains of people who chronically use opioids and who are diagnosed with OUD remains limited. To address this limitation, RNA sequencing was conducted on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens, regions heavily implicated in OUD, from postmortem brains in subjects with OUD.
