PG - 160-164 LID - S0304-3940(19)30039-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.neulet.2019.01.027 [doi] AB - In the present study, we have evaluated the existence of functional interaction between orexin-2 receptor (OX2R) and cannabinoid-1 receptor (CB1R) in the nucleus accumbens core (NAcc), in nicotine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) of Wistar male rat. Nicotine (0.5 mg/kg; s.c.) in the course of conditioning, produced a significant place preference, without any effect on the locomotor activity. Intra-NAcc administration of ineffective and effective doses of TCS-OX2-29 (2 and 6 ng/rat), a selective OX2R antagonist and AM251 (10 and 50 ng/rat), a selective CB1R antagonist, showed a significant interaction between OX2R and CB1R in the acquisition of nicotine-induced CPP (p < 0.01), and the locomotor activity (p < 0.05). No significant interaction was observed between these two receptors in the expression of nicotine-induced CPP. Our findings provide insight into the possible interaction of OX2R and CB1R of the NAcc in nicotine addiction. We propose a potential interaction between cannabinoid and orexinergic systems within the NAcc, in producing the rewarding effects. CI - Copyright (c) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
