The dynorphin (DYN)/κ-opioid receptor (KOR) system undergoes neuroadaptations following chronic alcohol exposure that promote excessive operant self-administration and negative affective-like states; however, the exact mechanisms are unknown. The present studies tested the hypothesis that an upregulated DYN/KOR system mediates excessive alcohol self-administration that occurs during withdrawal in alcohol-dependent rats by assessing DYN A peptide expression and KOR function, in combination with site-specific pharmacological manipulations. Male Wistar rats were trained to self-administer alcohol using operant behavioral strategies and subjected to intermittent alcohol vapor- or air-exposure. Changes in self-administration were assessed by pharmacological challenges during acute withdrawal. In addition, 22-kHz ultrasonic vocalizations were utilized to measure negative affective-like states. Immunohistochemical techniques assessed DYN A peptide expression and [35S]GTPγS coupling assays were performed to assess KOR function. Alcohol-dependent rats displayed increased alcohol self-administration, negative affective-like behavior, DYN A-like immunoreactivity and KOR signaling in the amygdala compared to non-dependent controls. Site-specific infusions of a KOR antagonist selectively attenuated self-administration in dependent rats whereas, a MOR/DOR antagonist cocktail selectively reduced self-administration in non-dependent rats. A MOR antagonist/partial KOR agonist attenuated self-administration in both cohorts. Increased DYN A and increased KOR signaling could set the stage for a `one-two punch' during withdrawal that drives excessive alcohol consumption in alcohol-dependence. Importantly, intra-CeA pharmacological challenges functionally confirmed a DYN/KOR system involvement in the escalated alcohol self-administration. Together, the DYN/KOR system is heavily dysregulated in alcohol dependence and contributes to the excessive alcohol consumption during withdrawal.
