mTORC1 promotes protein translation, learning and memory, and neuroadaptations that underlie alcohol use and abuse. We report that activation of mTORC1 in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) of mice consuming alcohol promotes the translation of microRNA (miR) machinery components and the upregulation of microRNAs (miRs) expression including miR-34a-5p. In parallel, we detected a paradoxical mTORC1-dependent repression of translation of transcripts including Aldolase A, an essential glycolytic enzyme. We found that miR-34a-5p in the NAc targets Aldolase A for translation repression and promotes alcohol intake. Our data further suggest that glycolysis is inhibited in the NAc manifesting in an mTORC1-dependent attenuation of L-lactate, the end product of glycolysis. Finally, we show that systemic administration of L-lactate attenuates mouse excessive alcohol intake. Our data suggest that alcohol promotes paradoxical actions of mTORC1 on translation and glycolysis which in turn drive excessive alcohol use.
