Compound 511 (511) is specially developed for opioid addiction treatment based on the Ancient Chinese drug rehabilitation literature, and its composition has profound effects in the treatment of drug addiction in various clinical trials and animal experiments. The effect of 511 on the rewarding properties of morphine and craving responses and its potential mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we have applied a conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm in mice to measure morphine-induced rewarding effects under the treatment of 511. Then we used the RNA sequencing strategy to screen its potential mechanisms. In our research, firstly, we found 511 could decrease CPP score, locomotor activity, self-administration, jumping behavior, weight loss, wet-dog shakes, and stereotyped behavior. Then the brain VTA region tissues were performed mRNA sequencing to detect potential mechanisms. We found the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and tropomyosin-related kinase B (TrkB) were downregulated in morphine-induced CPP, whereas the decreased BDNF and TrkB were reversed after 511 treatment. We retested the levels of BDNF and TrkB using qRT-PCR and Western blot and found the similar results to mRNA sequencing. It has been widely reported that BDNF-TrkB signaling in the VTA is involved in multiple facets of addiction, including reward and motivation, so we focused on the BDNF-TrkB signaling to investigate the anti-addiction mechanisms of 511 in morphine addiction mice. We studied the downstream pathway of BDNF-TrkB and the soma size of dopaminergic neurons. The results showed 511 could increase the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and AKT, which were decreased in morphine-induced CPP. Simultaneously, 511 could decrease the level of PLCγ1 and the phosphorylation levels of ERK and S6K, which were increased in morphine-induced CPP. In addition, 511 also enlarged the soma size of VTA dopaminergic neurons, which was reduced in morphine-induced CPP. Hence, our research indicated 511 maybe mediate the BDNF-TrkB signaling in VTA to improve morphine addiction behavior.
