The general effects of cocaine are not well understood at the molecular level. What is known is that the dopamine D-1 receptor plays an important role. Here we show that a key mechanism may be cocaine's blockade of the histamine H-3 receptor-mediated inhibition of D-1 receptor function. This blockade requires the sigma(1) receptor and occurs upon cocaine binding to sigma(1)-D-1-H-3 receptor complexes. The cocaine-mediated disruption leaves an uninhibited D-1 receptor that activates G(s), freely recruits beta-arrestin, increases p-ERK 1/2 levels, and induces cell death when over activated. Using in vitro assays with transfected cells and in ex vivo experiments using both rats acutely treated or self-administered with cocaine along with mice depleted of sigma(1) receptor, we show that blockade of sigma(1) 1 receptor by an antagonist restores the protective H-3 receptor-mediated brake on D-1 receptor signaling and prevents the cell death from elevated D-1 receptor signaling. These findings suggest that a combination therapy of sigma R-1 antagonists with H-3 receptor agonists could serve to reduce some effects of cocaine.
