DESCRIPTION:
Authors develop a brain reward circuit-wide atlas of opioid-induced transcriptional regulation by combining RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and heroin self-administration in male mice modeling multiple OUD-relevant conditions: acute heroin exposure, chronic heroin intake, context-induced drug-seeking following abstinence, and relapse. Bioinformatics analysis of this rich dataset identified numerous patterns of transcriptional regulation, with both region-specific and pan-circuit biological domains affected by heroin. Integration of RNA-seq data. This design enabled investigation of the transcriptomic landscape in multiple conditions that model distinct aspects of the OUD syndrome: first-ever heroin exposure (SH), ongoing/early withdrawal from heroin intake (H24), context-induced heroin-seeking following protracted abstinence (HS), and a combination of drug-induced and context-induced heroin-seeking representative of a relapse-like episode (HH). with OUD-relevant behavioral outcomes uncovered region-specific molecular changes and biological processes that predispose to OUD vulnerability.
