Characterization of proteins in the rat striatum following acute cocaine administration
2009
Kim, Soo | Choe, Eun
Cocaine administration in the brain alters gene expression via dopamine and glutamate receptor-mediated intracellular signaling cascades. The current study was designed to identify alterations in the total proteome in the rat dorsal striatum in response to intraperitoneal injection of cocaine (20 mg/kg). The results demonstrated that alterations of specific proteins at 20, 120, and 360 min following acute cocaine injection decreased over the time course. Proteins that were identified as having changed as a result of exposure to acute cocaine were found to be involved in a variety of functions necessary for maintaining cellular structure, metabolism, and gene expression in the dorsal striatum.
