Embodiment 1

[0026] Example 1 Establishment of heroin intravenous self-administration model

[0027] Intravenous Drug Self-Administration (Intravenous Drug Self-Administration) is one of the most classic animal models for studying drug addiction. Drug motivation and active compulsive drug use.

[0028] The classic rat heroin self-administration model can well simulate the heroin smoking behavior of clinical drug addicts. Rats can produce heroin self-administration after training. At the same time, the behavioral response rate and The dosage can reflect the compulsive drug-seeking behavior of drug addicts from the initial exposure to heroin to the addiction to heroin.

[0029] We used the following method to establish a self-administration model in rats: first, male SD rats underwent jugular vein cannulation, inserted a section of PE tube into the right jugular vein, and passed it out of the body through the back, antibacterial and recovery for more than a week after the operation . Subs...

Embodiment 2

[0030] Example 2 Illumina HiSeq sequencing

[0031] 12 hours after the heroin self-administration model was established stably, the rats were intraperitoneally administered with sodium pentobarbital, and sacrificed after deep anesthesia to isolate the NAc brain region. A heroin self-administration group (Heroin self-administration), a heroin passive administration group (Yoke heroin group) and a passive saline control group (Control) were established (n=3 for each group). The genomic DNA of the tissue samples was extracted with a PerkinElmer automatic nucleic acid extraction instrument (PerkinElmer Medical Diagnostic Products Shanghai Co., Ltd.), and the concentration of the obtained DNA was detected by a Qubit4.0 nucleic acid and protein analyzer. After DNA fragmentation and purification, end-repair and sequencing adapters were added, followed by Bisulfite treatment, library construction and quality inspection after amplification, and then Illumina HiSeq genome-wide methylation...

Embodiment 3

[0038] Example 3 Enlarging samples to detect changes in the DNA methylation level of the GABRD gene

[0039] According to Example 1, the rat heroin self-administration model was re-established, and a heroin self-administration group (Heroin self-administration), a heroin passive administration group (Yoke heroin group) and a passive saline control group (Control) were established. The NAc brain tissues of each group were collected, and the tissue DNA was extracted. The DNA methylation levels of 5 CpG sites in the DMR of the CpG island region of the GABRD gene were detected by bisulfite pyrosequencing technology. The basic principle of this technology: After the DNA sample is treated with bisulfite in the kit, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used to amplify with methylation-specific amplification upstream and downstream primers, and then through specific sequencing primers Pyrosequencing was performed on the amplified products to calculate the degree of methylation at e...

Abstract

The invention relates to application of a GABRD methylation target in preparation of a heroin relapse resisting drug. Compared with the prior art, the application has the advantages that the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor of the invention can reduce the methylation level of a GABRD gene and effectively reduce heroin relapse behaviors, indicating that the methyltransferase inhibitor targeting GABRD methylation can be used for treating heroin addiction and relapse.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a GABRD methylation target, in particular to the application of a methyltransferase inhibitor targeting GABRD methylation in the preparation of anti-heroin relapse drugs. Background technique [0002] Opioid addiction, especially heroin addiction, causes enormous medical and economic harm. Survey data from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) shows that globally, in 2018, 109,600 drug-related crimes were cracked, 137,400 criminal suspects were arrested, and 67.9 tons of various drugs were seized. Taking a relatively large proportion, the situation of heroin abuse is severe. Long-term activation of opioid receptors by heroin leads to compensatory adaptation of opioid receptors and non-opioid receptor systems, leading to addiction. Long-term chronic use of heroin leads to strong physical and mental dependence, which leads to a strong desire for drug use again, which is the main reason for the high relapse rate. ...
