High-dose administration of cocaine or methamphetamine to rats acutely (less than or equal to 24 h) alters vesicular dopamine transport. This study elucidates the nature of these changes. Results reveal a differential redistribution of the vesicular monoamine transporter-2 (VMAT-2) within striatal synaptic terminals after drug treatment. In particular, cocaine shifts VMAT-2 protein from a synaptosomal membrane fraction to a vesicle-enriched fraction, as assessed ex vivo in fractions prepared from treated rats. In contrast, methamphetamine treatment redistributes VMAT-2 from a vesicle-enriched fraction to a location that is not retained in a synaptosomal preparation. These data suggest that psychostimulants acutely and differentially affect VMAT-2 subcellular localization. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
