Abstract

Methamphetamine (METH) is a widely abused psychostimulant with the potential to cause a broad range of severe cognitive deficits as well as neurobehavioral abnormalities when abused chronically, particularly at high doses. Cognitive deficits are related to METH neurotoxicity in the striatum and hippocampus. The activation of transposable Long INterspersed Nuclear Element 1 (LINE-1) is associated with several neurological diseases and drug abuse, but there are very limited data regarding the effects of high-dose METH on the activity of LINE-1 in the adult brain. Using real-time quantitative PCR, the present study demonstrates that the chronic administration of neurotoxic METH doses results in the increased expression of LINE-1-encoded Open Reading Frame 1 (ORF-1) in rat striatum shortly after the last dose of the drug and decreased ORF-1 expression during METH withdrawal, with dentate gyrus potentially developing "tolerance" to these METH effects. LINE-1 activation may be a new factor mediating the neurotoxic effects of chronic METH in the striatum and, therefore, a new drug target against METH-induced psychomotor impairments in chronic METH users.
