Overexpression of dopamine D2 receptors reduces alcohol self‐administration
Abstract
The mechanism(s) underlying predisposition to alcohol abuse are poorly understood but may involve brain dopamine system(s). Here we used an adenoviral vector to deliver the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) gene into the nucleus accumbens of rats, previously trained to self‐administer alcohol, and to assess if DRD2 levels regulated alcohol preference and intake. We show that increases in DRD2 (52%) were associated with marked reductions in alcohol preference (43%), and alcohol intake (64%) of ethanol preferring rats, which recovered as the DRD2, returned to baseline levels. In addition, this DRD2 overexpression similarly produced significant reductions in ethanol non‐preferring rats, in both alcohol preference (16%) and alcohol intake (75%). This is the first evidence that overexpression of DRD2 reduces alcohol intake and suggests that high levels of DRD2 may be protective against alcohol abuse.

In the striatum, D2Rs mediate indirect pathway signalling to frontal cortical regions; their down-regulation enhances sensitization to drugs, whereas up-regulation interferes with drug consumption.
“In the striatum, D2Rs mediate signalling in the striatal indirect pathway that modulates frontal cortical regions; and their down-regulation enhances sensitization to the effects of drugs in animal models (68), whereas their up-regulation interferes with drug consumption (69,70).”

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.
