| More Details: | Following oxycodone (Oxy) conditioned place preference (CPP), delta opioid receptors (DORs) differentially redistribute in hippocampal CA3 pyramidal cells in female and male rats in a manner that would promote plasticity and opioid-associative learning processes. However, following chronic immobilization stress (CIS), males do not acquire Oxy-CPP and the trafficking of DORs in CA3 pyramidal neurons is attenuated. Here, we examined the subcellular distribution of DORs in CA1 pyramidal cells using electron microscopy in these same cohorts. CPP: Saline (Sal)-females compared to Sal-males have more cytoplasmic and total DORs in dendrites and more DOR-labeled spines. Following Oxy-CPP, DORs redistribute from near-plasmalemma pools in dendrites to spines in males. CIS: Control females compared to control males have more near-plasmalemmal dendritic DORs. Following CIS, dendritic DORs are elevated in the cytoplasm in females and near-plasmalemma in males. CIS plus CPP: CIS Sal-females compared to CIS Sal-males have more DORs on the plasmalemma of dendrites and in spines. After Oxy, the distribution of DORs does not change in either females or males. Conclusion: Following Oxy-CPP, DORs within CA1 pyramidal cells remain positioned in naïve female rats to enhance sensitivity to DOR agonists and traffic to dendritic spines in naïve males where they can promote plasticity processes. Following CIS plus behavioral enrichment, DORs are redistributed within CA1 pyramidal cells in females in a manner that could enhance sensitivity to DOR agonists. Conversely, CIS plus behavioral enrichment does not alter DORs in CA1 pyramidal cells in males, which may contribute to their diminished capacity to acquire Oxy-CPP. |
