Cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) is the most potent endogenous anti-opioid peptide and regulates a variety of physiological processes. In our previous study, we found that exogenous CCK-8 attenuated naloxone-induced withdrawal symptoms, but the possible regulative effects of CCK-8 on the rewarding effects of morphine were not examined. In the present study, we aimed to determine the exact effects of exogenous CCK-8 at various doses on the rewarding action of morphine by utilizing the unbiased conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm. We therefore examined the effects of CCK-8 on the acquisition, expression and extinction of morphine-induced CPP and on locomotor activity. The results showed that CCK-8 (0.01-1 mu g, i.c.v.), administered alone, induced neither CPP nor place aversion, but blocked the acquisition of CPP when administered with 10 mg/kg morphine. The highest dose of CCK-8 (1 mu g) administered before CPP testing increased CPP and, along with lower doses (0.1 mu g), reduced its extinction. In addition, the highest dose (1 mu g) of CCK-8 suppressed locomotor activity. Our study provides the first behavioral evidence for the inhibitory effects of exogenous CCK-8 on rewarding activity and reveals significant effects of exogenous CCK-8 on various stages of place preference and the development of opioid dependence.
