Pharmacological and lesion studies have shown that histamine exerts inhibitory effects on morphine-induced reward-seeking behavior. The present study was designed to further investigate the involvement of endogenous histamine in morphine-induced reward-seeking behavior using histidine decarboxylase gene knockout (HDC-KO) mice. Conditioned place preference (CPP) was present in both wild-type (WT) and HDC-KO mice treated with 5 or 10 mg/kg morphine. HDC-KO mice showed stronger morphine-induced CPP as compared with WT mice. Meanwhile, morphine significantly increased dopamine level in the VTA and NAc, especially in HDC-KO mice. However, the extinction of CPP is similar between WT and HDC-KO mice. Moreover, naloxone-precipitated withdrawal jumping was markedly decreased in HDC-KO mice. These results indicate that endogenous histamine inhibits the development, but not the extinction, of morphine-induced CPP and reduces morphine withdrawal sign, probably through modulating dopaminergic activity in the brain.
