Increases in serum corticosterone level and diuresis induced by the selective kappa opioid receptor (KOR) agonist U50,488H are unaffected by KOR phosphorylation

Pingwei Zhao, Peng Huang, Kathryn Bland, Sanjana Khandeshi, Lee‐Yuan Liu‐Chen

This study shows that KOR phosphorylation does not affect U50,488H-induced corticosterone increase or diuresis in mice, with males showing greater diuresis than females.

Kappa opioid receptors (KORs) in the anterior paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (aPVT) mediate morphine withdrawal-, anxiety-, fear-, and KOR agonist-induced aversion-like behaviors in mice

Peng Huang, Chongguang Chen, Kathryn Bland, Aryan Anand, Kevin Thomas Beier, Lee‐Yuan Liu‐Chen

This study shows that KORs in aPVT neurons mediate morphine withdrawal, anxiety, and fear in both sexes, but only contribute to KOR agonist-induced aversion in males.

Paternal morphine exposure enhances morphine self-administration and induces region-specific neural adaptations in reward-related brain regions of male offspring

Andre B. Toussaint, Alexandra S. Ellis, Angela R. Bongiovanni, Drew R. Peterson, Charlotte C. Bavley, Reza Karbalaei, Hannah L. Mayberry, Shivam Bhakta, Carmen C. Dressler, Caesar G. Imperio, John J. Maurer, Heath D. Schmidt, Chongguang Chen, Kathryn Bland, Lee‐Yuan Liu‐Chen, Mathieu E. Wimmer

This study shows that paternal morphine exposure increases morphine self-administration in male offspring but not females, with region-specific neural changes in reward-related brain areas.

A new Oprm1-Cre mouse line enables detailed molecular characterization of μ-opioid receptor cell types

Juliet Mengaziol, Amelia D. Dunn, Jordi Creus‐Muncunill, Darrell Eacret, Chongguang Chen, Kathryn Bland, Lee‐Yuan Liu‐Chen, Michelle E. Ehrlich, Julie A. Blendy

The paper develops a MOR-specific Cre mouse line to study opioid receptor cell types and their molecular characteristics during opioid withdrawal.
