Unique Pharmacodynamic Profile of Methylphenidate: Self- Administration-Induced Dopamine System Alterations UNIQUE PHARMACODYNAMIC PROFILE OF METHYLPHENIDATE: SELF- ADMINISTRATION-INDUCED DOPAMINE SYSTEM ALTERATIONS BY ERIN SUE CALIPARI A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Program in Neuroscience December 2013 Winston-Salem, North Carolina Approved by: Sara R. Jones, Ph.D., Advisor Thomas J. Martin, Ph.D., Chairman Rong Chen, Ph.D. Brian McCool, Ph.D. Steven Childers, Ph.D ii DEDICATION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I want to thank my advisor, Sara R. Jones, Ph. D. She gave me the freedom to explore many of my own interests while still providing important and insightful input to improve my projects and my writing. She gave her full support to my training at all times and helped me to develop as both a scientist and a person. I truly enjoyed working with her and admire her work ethic and dedication. The example that she has set for me will have a lasting impact beyond my scientific career. Second, I would like to thank the members of the Jones’ lab. I could not possibly thank them enough for all of the help and support that they have given me over the years. Mark J. Ferris, Ph. D, was instrumental in my training and often put as much effort into my projects as he did into his own. He was always there when I needed advice and although I was difficult to work with at times he always supported me. Jordan Yorgason was there with me every step of the way and helped me figure everything out, even when it was inconvenient for him. Jordan has the ability to fix anything that is broken, and I could not have done any of my work without his programming, soldering, or electronics skills. Mark and Jordan have become colleagues and friends (whether they like it or not) that I hope to continue to work with throughout my career. I would also like to thank Joanne Konstantopoulos and Jason Locke for their training and help with many of my projects. Without their willingness to cover for me, even on weekends, none of this work would have been possible. Also, I would like to thank the other members of the Jones lab, Anushree N. Karkhanis, Ph. D, Jamie Rose, James Melchior, and Cody Siciliano. Because of them, I enjoyed coming to work every day. The lab has been like my second iii family, first at times, and there is not anywhere else where I could have had a better graduate experience. I would also like to thank the members of my dissertation committee Drs. Martin, McCool, Chen, and Childers. They have been a source of advice and support throughout my graduate career and played a large role in the development of this dissertation. Additionally, their comments on my proposal contributed greatly to the National Research Service Award that I was awarded from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and for that I am very grateful. Special thanks go to the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology and the Neuroscience program. The people within this department contributed greatly to this dissertation in many ways. The collaborative environment at Wake Forest University School of Medicine allowed me to learn numerous techniques and skills, many of which are included within this dissertation. I was able to form a network of collaborators that I will keep in touch with throughout my career. Additionally, the advice and support that I was given when applying for grants and postdoctoral positions was paramount to my success. I would also like to thank my family. My mother, Ellen, and my father, John, have given me their full support throughout my entire life, but especially throughout my graduate career. They were constant sources of encouragement that kept me going during difficult times. Also, I would like to thank my sister, Megan, and brother, Brad. They are two of the smartest people that I know and they have motivated me to work hard and dedicate myself completely to anything and everything that I do. iv And finally, I would like to thank the extracurricular groups and activities I was a part of in my spare time. The Phys/Pharm softball team allowed me to display my athletic prowess and make friends within the department. It was a consistent time each week for me to spend time with Alison Arter and Sarah Kromrey, and for that I am particularly grateful, although it is unlikely that anyone else is. v TABLE OF CONTENTS

  • Methylphenidate Amplifies the Potency and Reinforcing Effects Of
    ARTICLE Received 1 Aug 2013 | Accepted 7 Oct 2013 | Published 5 Nov 2013 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms3720 Methylphenidate amplifies the potency and reinforcing effects of amphetamines by increasing dopamine transporter expression Erin S. Calipari1, Mark J. Ferris1, Ali Salahpour2, Marc G. Caron3 & Sara R. Jones1 Methylphenidate (MPH) is commonly diverted for recreational use, but the neurobiological consequences of exposure to MPH at high, abused doses are not well defined. Here we show that MPH self-administration in rats increases dopamine transporter (DAT) levels and enhances the potency of MPH and amphetamine on dopamine responses and drug-seeking behaviours, without altering cocaine effects. Genetic overexpression of the DAT in mice mimics these effects, confirming that MPH self-administration-induced increases in DAT levels are sufficient to induce the changes. Further, this work outlines a basic mechanism by which increases in DAT levels, regardless of how they occur, are capable of increasing the rewarding and reinforcing effects of select psychostimulant drugs, and suggests that indivi- duals with elevated DAT levels, such as ADHD sufferers, may be more susceptible to the addictive effects of amphetamine-like drugs. 1 Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27157, USA. 2 Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5S1A8. 3 Department of Cell Biology, Medicine and Neurobiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina 27710, USA.

Major drugs of abuse such as amphetamine and cocaine interact with DATs to alter their actions resulting in an enhancement in extracellular DA concentrations. We previously identified a novel allosteric site in the DAT and the related human serotonin transporter that lies outside the central orthosteric substrate- and cocaine-binding pocket. Here, we demonstrate that the dopaminergic psychostimulant sydnocarb is a ligand of this novel allosteric site. We identified the molecular determinants of the interaction between sydnocarb and DAT at the allosteric site using molecular dynamics simulations.

Here we employed uptake and release assays in rat brain synaptosomes, voltage-clamp current measurements in cells expressing transporters, and calcium flux assays in cells coexpressing transporters and calcium channels to study the effects of increasing N-alkyl chain length of 4-MA on interactions at DAT, NET, and SERT. In addition, we performed intracranial self-stimulation in rats to understand how the chemical modifications affect abuse liability.

The motor manifestations of Parkinson’s disease (PD) are secondary to a dopamine deficiency in the striatum. However, the degenerative process in PD is not limited to the dopaminergic system and also affects serotonergic and noradrenergic neurons. Because they can increase monoamine levels throughout the brain, monoamine reuptake inhibitors (MAUIs) represent potential therapeutic agents in PD. However, they are seldom used in clinical practice other than as antidepressants and wake-promoting agents. This review article summarises all of the available literature on use of 50 MAUIs in PD. The compounds are divided according to their relative potency for each of the monoamine transporters.

  • Narcolepsy: Current Treatment Options and Future Approaches
    REVIEW Narcolepsy: current treatment options and future approaches Michel Billiard Abstract: The management of narcolepsy is presently at a turning point. Three main avenues Department of Neurology, Gui de are considered in this review: 1) Two tendencies characterize the conventional treatment of Chauliac Hospital, Montpellier, France narcolepsy. Modafi nil has replaced methylphenidate and amphetamine as the fi rst-line treat- ment of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and sleep attacks, based on randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials of modafi nil, but on no direct comparison of modafi nil versus traditional stimulants. For cataplexy, sleep paralysis, and hypnagogic hallucinations, new antidepressants tend to replace tricyclic antidepressants and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in spite of a lack of randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials of these compounds; 2) The conventional treatment of narcolepsy is now challenged by sodium oxybate, the sodium salt of gammahydroxybutyrate, based on a series of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials and a long-term open label study. This treatment has a fairly good effi cacy and is active on all symptoms of narcolepsy. Careful titration up to an adequate level is essential both to obtain positive results and avoid adverse effects; 3) A series of new treatments are currently being tested, either in animal models or in humans, They include novel stimulant and anticataplectic drugs, endocrine therapy, and, more attractively,
