• W3136301338 abstract "Despite the rising prevalence of methadone treatment in pregnant women with opioid use disorder, the effects of methadone on neurobehavioral development remain unclear. We developed a translational mouse model of prenatal methadone exposure (PME) that resembles the typical pattern of opioid use by pregnant women who first use oxycodone then switch to methadone maintenance pharmacotherapy, and subsequently become pregnant while maintained on methadone. We investigated the effects of PME on physical development, sensorimotor behavior, and motor neuron properties using a multidisciplinary approach of physical, biochemical, and behavioral assessments along with brain slice electrophysiology and in vivo magnetic resonance imaging. Methadone accumulated in the placenta and fetal brain, but methadone levels in offspring dropped rapidly at birth which was associated with symptoms and behaviors consistent with neonatal opioid withdrawal. PME produced substantial impairments in offspring physical growth, activity in an open field, and sensorimotor milestone acquisition. Furthermore, these behavioral alterations were associated with reduced neuronal density in the motor cortex and a disruption in motor neuron intrinsic properties and local circuit connectivity. The present study adds to the limited body of work examining PME by providing a comprehensive, translationally relevant characterization of how PME disrupts offspring physical and neurobehavioral development.The far-reaching opioid crisis extends to babies born to mothers who take prescription or illicit opioids during pregnancy. Opioids such as oxycodone and methadone can freely cross the placenta from mother to baby. With the rising misuse of and addiction to opioids, the number of babies born physically dependent on opioids has risen sharply over the last decade. Although these infants are only passively exposed to opioids in the womb, they can still experience withdrawal symptoms at birth. This withdrawal is characterized by irritability, excessive crying, body shakes, problems with feeding, fevers and diarrhea. While considerable attention has been given to treating opioid withdrawal in newborn babies, little is known about how these children develop in their first years of life. This is, in part, because it is difficult for researchers to separate drug-related effects from other factors in a child’s home environment that can also disrupt their development. In addition, the biological mechanisms underpinning opioid-related impairments to infant development also remain unclear. Animal models have been used to study the effects of opioid exposure during pregnancy (termed prenatal exposure) on infants. These models, however, could be improved to better replicate the typical pattern of opioid use among pregnant women. Recognizing this gap, Grecco et al. have developed a mouse model of prenatal methadone exposure where female mice that were previously dependent on oxycodone were treated with methadone throughout their pregnancy. Methadone is an opioid drug commonly prescribed for treating opioid use disorder in pregnant women and was found to accumulate at high levels in the fetal brain of mice, which fell quickly after birth. The offspring also experienced withdrawal symptoms. Grecco et al. then examined the physical, behavioral and brain development of mice born to opioid-treated mothers. These included assessments of the animals’ motor skills, sensory reflexes and behavior in their first four weeks of life. Additional experiments tested the properties of nerve cells in the brain to examine cell-level changes. The assessments showed that methadone exposure in the womb impaired the physical growth of offspring and this persisted into ‘adolescence’. Prenatal methadone exposure also delayed progress towards key developmental milestones and led to hyperactivity in three-week-old mice. Moreover, Grecco et al. found that these mice had reduced neuron density and cell-to-cell connectivity in the part of the brain which controls movement. These findings shed light on the potential consequences of prenatal methadone exposure on physical, behavioral and brain development in infants. This model could also be used to study new potential treatments or intervention strategies for offspring exposed to opioids during pregnancy." @default.
