Methamphetamine (METH), the most widely distributed psychostimulant, aberrantly activates the reward system in the brain to induce addictive behaviors. The presynaptic protein “Piccolo”, encoded byPclo, was identified as a METH-responsive protein with enhanced expression in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) in mice. Although the physiological and pathological significance of Piccolo has been identified in dopaminergic signaling, its role in METH-induced behavioral abnormalities and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To clarify such functions, mice with Piccolo knockdown in the NAc (NAc-miPiccolo mice) by local injection of an adeno-associated virus vector carrying miRNA targetingPclowere generated and investigated. NAc-miPiccolo mice exhibited suppressed hyperlocomotion, sensitization, and conditioned place preference behavior induced by systemic administration of METH. The excessive release of dopamine in the NAc was reduced in NAc-miPiccolo mice at baseline and in response to METH. These results suggest that Piccolo in the NAc is involved in METH-induced behavioral alterations and is a candidate therapeutic target for the treatment of drug addiction.
