ABSTRACT: Adolescence is one of the most vulnerable stages for the long-term effects of drugs of abuse and an estimated 3.4 million from adolescence have misused prescription opioids in the past year, with 3.5% of them being in early/mid stage of adolescents (12 -17 years old) and 7.1% of them being in the late adolescence to emerging adulthood stage (ages 18-25) (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2017). Early adolescent initiation of prescriptions opioids is more likely to result in subsequent prescription opioid misuse in adulthood than late adolescent initiation (McCabe et al., 2007). Therefore, there is a need to better understand the long-term neurobiological consequences that misuse of prescription opioids in early/mid and late adolescence may have in adulthood in order to develop unique interventions. Oxycodone is one of the most commonly misused prescription opioids among adolescents. However, there is a substantial gap in knowledge about the long-term neurobiological consequences of adolescence exposure to oxycodone on reward-related behaviors in adulthood. The use of pre-clinical animal models can help to understand the effects of adolescent exposure to oxycodone on adult mesolimbic reward pathway. The major goal of this small grant project (R03) is to obtain proof of concept data to show that adolescent oxycodone exposure leads to a persistent increase in reinforcing properties/dopamine release in adulthood. Therefore, the overall objectives are to determine the effects of early and late adolescence exposure to oxycodone on drug reinforcement and dopamine release in nucleus accumbens in adulthood and assess if there are differential effects between early and late adolescence exposure. Since the early and late adolescence drug exposure will have differential effects on the neurobiology of reward circuits due to hormonal changes (Spears, 2000; 2015), we will utilize two time-points of adolescence exposure. This proposal will utilize state-of-the-art procedures to elucidate how adolescence exposure alters reinforcing properties of oxycodone within the mesolimbic dopamine system. This is a highly significant project that will provide first data on how adolescent exposure to oxycodone will have long-lasting effects on VTA rewarding properties in adulthood. Once we establish this phenomenon in this model, the data will be used to further understand the persistent changes in reward circuitry and molecular mechanisms in future R01 application.

抽象的： 青春期是滥用药物长期影响的最脆弱阶段之一，估计 在过去的一年 青少年的早期/中期（12 -17岁），其中7.1％处于青春期晚期 成年阶段（18-25岁）（滥用药物和心理健康服务管理局，2017年）。早期的 处方的青春期开始阿片类药物更有可能导致随后的处方阿片类药物滥用 成年比青少年晚期开始（McCabe等，2007）。因此，有必要更好地理解 长期神经生物学后果滥用处方阿片类药物在早期和晚期 青春期可能会在成年中建立独特的干预措施。羟考酮是最多的 青少年通常滥用处方阿片类药物。但是，知识存在很大的差距 关于青春期暴露于奖励相关的羟考酮的长期神经生物学后果 成年的行为。临床前动物模型的使用可以帮助了解青少年的影响 在成年中左右奖励途径上暴露于羟考酮。这个小型赠款项目的主要目标（R03） 是获得概念数据证明，以表明青少年羟考酮的暴露会导致持续增加 在成年期加强特性/多巴胺释放中。因此，总体目标是确定 早期和晚期暴露于羟考酮对药物增强和多巴胺释放的影响 成年后伏拟核并评估早期和晚期之间是否存在差异作用 青春期暴露。由于青春期早期和晚期药物暴露将对 由于激素变化引起的奖励电路神经生物学（Spears，2000; 2015），我们将使用两个时间点 青春期暴露。该建议将利用最新程序来阐明青春期 暴露会改变中唇多巴胺系统中羟考酮的增强特性。这是一个高度 重要的项目将提供有关青少年接触羟考酮如何长期持久的数据 对成年中VTA奖励性质的影响。一旦我们在此模型中建立了这种现象，数据 将用于进一步了解奖励电路和分子机制的持续变化 未来R01应用程序。
