Individuals afflicted with alcohol use disorder (AUD) exhibit maladaptive responses of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis to stress, which has been linked to high relapse rates to drinking during abstinence. Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) parvocellular neuroendocrine cells (PNCs) within the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) are critical to stress-induced HPA axis activation. Here, we investigate sex differences in synaptic transmission and plasticity in PNCs following application of stress-associated neurotransmitter, norepinephrine (NE) in a rat model of AUD. Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 40 days of chronic intermittent ethanol (CIE) vapor and 30–60 days of protracted withdrawal. We measured changes in holding current, evoked synaptic currents, and short-term glutamatergic plasticity (STP) in putative PNCs following NE (10 μM) application with and without selective α1 adrenergic receptor (AR) antagonist, prazosin (10μM) or α2AR antagonist, atipamezole (10μM), using whole-cell patch clamp recordings in slices from CIE rats and air-exposed controls. NE application caused two distinct effects: a depolarizing, inward, postsynaptic current and a reduction in evoked glutamatergic excitatory postsynaptic current (eEPSC) amplitude. Both effects were sex and CIE-specific. Prazosin blocked the postsynaptic inward current, while atipamezole blocked the NE-mediated suppression of eEPSCs. Additionally, STP formation was facilitated following NE application in only stress-naïve males and this response was lost in stressed animals exposed to a 30-minute restraint stress following CIE exposure. Furthermore, NE + prazosin restored STP formation in stressed CIE males. NE exerts excitatory and inhibitory effects onto CRF PVN PNCs and both effects are influenced by sex and CIE. Behavioral and hormonal responses to stress are influenced by STP formation within the PVN, which is lost following CIE and restored with pre-application of prazosin. Selective blockade of α1AR may therefore ameliorate CIE-induced deficits in HPA responses to stress in a sex-specific manner.
