Show abstract
Microglia have recently been implicated in dependence to opioids. To investigate this directly, we used RNA sequencing of ribosome associated RNAs from striatal microglia (RiboTag-Seq) after the induction of morphine tolerance and then the precipitation of withdrawal by naloxone. We detected large, inverse changes in RNA translation following opioid tolerance and withdrawal, and bioinformatics analysis revealed an intriguing upregulation of cAMP-associated genes that are involved in microglial motility, morphology, and interactions with neurons. Three-dimensional histological reconstruction of microglia revealed changes in process branching and termination following opioid tolerance that were rapidly reversed during withdrawal and were consistent with cAMP effects on microglia morphology. Direct activation of Gi-coupled DREADD receptors in microglia, rather than mimicking the effects of morphine, exacerbated opioid withdrawal. Together these indicate that microglial response to cAMP signaling can mitigate the rapid manifestations of opioid withdrawal.
