Social Defeat Stress-Induced Behavioral Responses are Mediated by the Endogenous Kappa Opioid System
Open accessAbstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that repeated forced-swim stress-induced behaviors (including analgesia, immobility, and increased drug reward) were mediated by the release of endogenous prodynorphin-derived opioid peptides and subsequent activation of the kappa opioid receptor (KOR). We tested the generality of these effects using a different type of stressful situation: repeated social defeat. C57Bl/6 mice subjected to social defeat stress (SDS) over 3 days showed a characteristic stress-induced immobility and defeated-postural response, as well as stress-induced analgesia (SIA). Daily pretreatment with the KOR antagonist nor-binaltorphimine (nor-BNI, 10 mg/kg, i.p.) blocked the SIA and significantly reduced the stress-induced immobility on the second and third days of SDS exposure. In contrast, prodynorphin gene-disrupted mice showed no significant increase in immobility, socially defeated postures, or SIA following repeated exposure to SDS. Since both stress and the kappa opioid system can modulate the response to drugs of abuse, we tested the effects of SDS on cocaine-conditioned place preference (CPP). SDS-exposed mice conditioned with cocaine (15 mg/kg, s.c.) showed significant potentiation of place-preference for the drug-paired chamber over the responses of unstressed mice. Nor-BNI pretreatment blocked stress-induced potentiation of cocaine-CPP. Consistent with this result, mice lacking the prodynorphin gene did not show stress-induced potentiation of cocaine-CPP, whereas wild-type littermates did. The findings suggest that chronic SDS may activate the kappa opioid system to produce analgesia, immobility, social defeat postures, and resulting in a potentiation of the acute rewarding properties of cocaine.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
