1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This study reveals a novel receptor mechanism for methamphetamine action in dopamine transporter (DAT) regulation. Trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) is expressed in brain dopaminergic nuclei and is activated by methamphetamine in vitro. Here, we show that methamphetamine interaction with TAAR1 inhibits [(3)H]dopamine uptake, enhances or induces [(3)H]dopamine efflux, and triggers DAT internalization. In time course assays in which methamphetamine and [(3)H]dopamine were concurrently loaded into cells or synaptosomes or in pretreatment assays in which methamphetamine was washed away before [(3)H]dopamine loading, methamphetamine caused a distinct inhibition in [(3)H]dopamine uptake in TAAR1 + DAT-cotransfected cells and in wild-type mouse and rhesus monkey striatal synaptosomes. This distinct uptake inhibition was not observed in DAT-only transfected cells or in TAAR1 knockout mouse striatal synaptosomes. In [(3)H]dopamine efflux assays using the same cell and synaptosome preparations, methamphetamine enhanced [(3)H]dopamine efflux at a high loading concentration of [(3)H]dopamine (1 muM) or induced [(3)H]dopamine efflux at a low loading concentration of [(3)H]dopamine (10 nM) in a TAAR1-dependent manner. In DAT biotinylation assays using the same cell and synaptosome preparations, we observed that 1 muM methamphetamine induced DAT internalization in a TAAR1-dependent manner. All these TAAR1-mediated effects of methamphetamine were blocked by the protein kinase inhibitors H89 [N-[2-(4-bromocinnamylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinoline] and/or 2-{8-[(dimethylamino) methyl]-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]indol-3-yl}-3-(1-methylindol-3-yl)maleimide (Ro32-0432), suggesting that methamphetamine interaction with TAAR1 triggers cellular phosphorylation cascades and leads to the observed effects of methamphetamine on DAT. These findings demonstrate a mediatory role of TAAR1 in methamphetamine action in DAT regulation and implicate this receptor as a potential target of therapeutics drugs for methamphetamine addiction.
