    • Abstract:
      The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor is a major target of ethanol, and it is implicated in learning and memory formation, and other cognitive functions. Glycine acts as a co-agonist for this receptor. We examined whether Org24598, a selective inhibitor of glycine transporter1 (GlyT1), affects ethanol withdrawal-induced deficits in recognition memory (Novel Object Recognition (NOR) task) and spatial memory (Barnes Maze (BM) task) in rats, and whether the NMDA receptor glycine site participates in this phenomenon. Male Wistar rats were habituated to NOR or BM tasks, and then received binge-like intragastric ethanol administration (5 days, 5 g/kg). After ethanol withdrawal, Org24598 (0.1, 0.3, and 0.6 mg/kg) was administered 30 min before NOR (day 10 of withdrawal) or the reversal learning phase of BM (day 11-13 of withdrawal) task. The expression of GluN1 and GluN2B subunits of NMDA receptors were measured in the perirhinal cortex (PRC) and hippocampus (HIP) after termination of NOR. In the BM task, a glycine antagonist, L-701,324 (5 mg/kg), was administered 30 min before Org24598 to confirm the involvement of the NMDA receptor glycine site in the effects of Org24598. Our study showed that binge-like ethanol administration induced recognition and spatial memory impairments after withdrawal in rats. Additionally, an up-regulation of GluN1 and GluN2B subunits of the NMDA receptor was observed in the HIP and PRC on day 11 of abstinence. Org24598 ameliorated memory loss and normalized the expression of these subunits. L-701,324 reversed the effect of Org24598. Thus, NMDA receptor glycine sites are important in ethanol withdrawal-induced memory impairments.
