Prefrontal Cortex Response to Prenatal Insult and Postnatal Opioid Exposure

Abstract: The influence of proinflammatory challenges, such as maternal immune activation (MIA) or postnatal exposure to drugs of abuse, on brain molecular pathways has been reported. On the other hand, the simultaneous effects of MIA and drugs of abuse have been less studied and sometimes offered inconsistent results. The effects of morphine exposure on a pig model of viral-elicited MIA were characterized in the prefrontal cortex of males and females using RNA-sequencing and gene network analysis. Interacting and main … Show more

“…The gene expression profiles suggest an antagonistic interaction between the stressors, opposite to that observed in the reproductive system's processes. The profiles observed in the present study were consistent with the over-expression of prefrontal cortex genes in the chemokine signaling pathway of the pigs exposed to MIA [49], and the under-expression of the genes annotated to the inflammation-associated pathways in the amygdala and hippocampus of the weaned pigs [16,46]. The importance of changes in the immune system pathway of the pituitary gland, in response to prenatal and weaning challenges, can also be related to the established immuno-enhancing role of many hormones secreted by the pituitary gland (e.g., prolactin, growth hormone, insulin growth factor-1, and thyroid hormones) in susceptibility to stressinduced disease [50].…”

“…7D), with several GO terms represented (e.g, phospholipid processes, histone acetylation, and calcium signaling) (Table 1). Indeed, several of these genes (e.g, SMAD3 , HTR7 , PPP1R17 ) 5660 and their upstream regulators (e.g., STAT3, AR, mir-124) have previously been associated with cocaine exposure 6164 (Fig. 7E).…”

“…This Special Issue presents the results of another experiment by the same group of authors, which aimed to study the impact of proinflammatory challenges caused by maternal immune activation (MIA) and postnatal exposure to drugs of abuse (morphine) on the prefrontal cortex molecular pathways [ 8 ]. The range of interacting effects on the prefrontal cortex pathways were uncovered, providing new insights into the interplay between the effects of MIA and morphine.…”
