Abstract: Cocaine use is a rising global concern, and increased use is accompanied by a significant increase in people entering treatment for the first time. However, there are still no complete therapies, and preclinical tools are necessary to both understand the action of cocaine and mitigate for its effects. Cocaine exposure rapidly impacts cellular and mitochondrial health, leading to oxidative stress. This study evaluated the effects of acute, repeated, and chronic cocaine exposure on C17.2 neural precursor cells. A single exposure to high concentrations of cocaine caused rapid cell death, with lower concentrations increasing markers of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction within 4 h of exposure. Alterations in cellular bioenergetics and mitochondrial fusion and fission gene expression (OPA1, DRP1) were also observed, which returned to baseline by 24 h after insult. Repeated exposure over 3 days reduced cell proliferation and spare mitochondrial respiratory capacity, suggesting compromised cellular resilience. Interestingly, chronic exposure over 4 weeks led to cellular adaptation and restoring mitochondrial bioenergetics and ATP production while mitigating for oxidative stress. These findings highlight the time-dependent cellular effects of cocaine, with initial toxicity and mitochondrial impairment transitioning to adaptive responses under chronic exposure.
