Methods of and Compositions For the Prevention of Anxiety, Substance Abuse, and Dependence

Compositions for reducing dependency and addiction to substances of abuse are provided. Chloride channels such as the GABAA receptors are altered under conditions of dependency and withdrawal such that the electrophysiological properties of the GABAA receptor containing neurons are altered thereby providing a pathophysiological condition resulting in symptoms of dependency and withdrawal such as anxiety. Specifically, under conditions of withdrawal the relative ratio of the a1 receptor subunit decreases relative to the a4 receptor subunit. Endogenous neurosteroid production is also associated with the molecular changes underlying the alterations of GABA-gated chloride channels. Compositions of at least two compounds including at least one inhibitor of neurosteroid production are useful for treating the pathophysiology of addiction, dependency and substance abuse withdrawal.

Genomic DNA fragments containing regulatory and coding sequence for the beta2-subunit of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and transgenic animals made using these fragments or mutated fragments

Several genes encoding subunits of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors have been cloned and regulatory elements involved in the transcription of the ∝:2 and ∝:7-subunit genes have been described. Yet, the detailed mechanisms governing the neuron-specific transcription and the spatio-temporal expression pattern of these genes remain largely uninvestigated. The β2-subunit is the most widely expressed neuronal nicotinic receptors subunit in the nervous system. We have studied the structural and regulatory properties of the 5′ sequence of this gene. A fragment of 1163 bp of upstream sequence is sufficient to drive the cell-specific transcription of a reporter gene in both transient transfection assays and in transgenic mice. Deletion analysis and site-directed mutagenesis of this promoter reveal two negative and one positive element. The positively acting sequence includes one functional E-box. One of the repressor elements is located in the transcribed region and is the NRSE / RE1 sequence already described in promoters of neuronal genes.

Subunit-selective nucleic acid inhibitors of glutamate receptors

Inhibitors of AMPA-type glutamate ion channels are useful as biochemical probes for structure-function studies and as drug candidates for a number of neurological disorders and diseases. Disclosed herein is the identification of an RNA inhibitor or aptamer by an in vitro evolution approach and characterization of its mechanism of inhibition on the sites of interaction by equilibrium binding and on the receptor channel-opening rate by a laser-pulse photolysis technique. The aptamer of the invention is a noncompetitive inhibitor of AMPA-type glutamate ion channels, one that selectively inhibits the GluA2Qflip AMPA receptor subunit without any effect on other AMPA receptor subunits or on kainate or NMDA receptors. Furthermore, the aptamer preferentially inhibits the closed-channel state of GluA2Qflip with a KI=1.5 μM or by ˜15-fold over the open-channel state. The potency and selectivity of this aptamer rival those of small molecule inhibitors. Together, these properties make the aptamers of the present invention promising water-soluble, highly potent, GluA2 subunit-selective drugs.
