Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Agonist Exendin-4 Facilitates the Extinction of Cocaine-Induced Condition Place Preference

Accumulating studies suggest that the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist exendin-4 (Ex4) and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) play a pivotal role in the maladaptive behavior of cocaine. However, few studies have assessed whether Ex4 can facilitate the extinction of drug-associated behavior and atte...

However, few studies have assessed whether Ex4 can facilitate the extinction of drug-associated behavior and attenuate the reinstatement of cocaine-induced condition place preference (CPP) in mice. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate Ex4’s ability to regulate the extinction and reinstatement of cocaine-induced CPP. C57BL/6 mice were conditioned to either cocaine (20 mg/kg) or an equivalent volume of saline to establish a cocaine-mediated CPP paradigm. To investigate the potential effects of Ex4 on extinction, animals received an intraperitoneal injection of Ex4 either immediately or 6 h after each extinction or only on the test day. The persistence of extinction was measured using the reinstatement paradigm evoked by 10 mg/kg of cocaine. To explore the possible impacts of Ex4 and neuroinflammation on cocaine, the expression levels of TLR4 within the hippocampus was detected using western blotting. As a result, we found that systemic administration of Ex4 immediately after each extinction training, instead of 6 h after each extinction and on the day of extinction test, was capable of facilitating extinction in the confined or non-confined CPP extinction paradigms and blocking the cocaine-primed reinstatement of cocaine-induced CPP. Additionally, we also observed that Ex4 was competent to alleviate TLR4 signaling that has been up-regulated by cocaine. Altogether, our findings indicated that the combination of Ex4 with daily extinction training was sufficient to facilitate extinction of the conditioned behavior, attenuate reinstatement of cocaine-induced CPP and inhibit TLR4 signaling. Thus, Ex4 deserves further investigation as a potential intervention for the treatment of cocaine use disorder.Changliang ZhuChangliang ZhuTao HongHailiang LiShucai JiangShucai JiangBaorui GuoLei WangJiangwei DingCaibin GaoCaibin GaoYu SunTao SunTao SunFeng WangFeng WangYangyang WangDin WanFrontiers Media S.A.articlecocainecondition place preferenceextinctionreinstatementexendin-4toll-like receptor 4Neurosciences.
