This study determined whether daily cocaine administration
initiates a calcium requirement for the increase in extracellular dopamine produced by psychostimulants. The increase in extracellular dopamine induced by perfusion of amphetamine through a microdialysis probe in the nucleus accumbens shell was enhanced in cocaine- relative
to saline-pretreated rats. The augmented portion of the amphetamine-induced increase in nucleus accumbens dopamine was abolished by the coperfusion of L- or N-type calcium channel blockers. Inhibition of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM-KII) also prevented the augmented increase in dopamine by amphetamine, whereas inhibition of vesicular exocytosis by botulinum toxin B was
ineffective. When the concentration of extracellular dopamine in the
nucleus accumbens was elevated by blocking the plasmallemal dopamine
transporter with GBR-12909, the augmented increase in extracellular
dopamine in rats sensitized to repeated cocaine was blocked by a
CaM-KII inhibitor. Pretreatment with botulinum toxin B prevented the
increase in extracellular dopamine by GBR-12909 in both
cocaine-pretreated and control rats. Taken together, these results
demonstrate that the psychostimulant-induced enhanced increase in
extracellular dopamine in the nucleus accumbens shell of
cocaine-pretreated rats arises from the induction of calcium- and
CaM-KII-dependent mechanisms.
