The Role of Integrin β3 in Nucleus Accumbens Function

Stress disorders, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorder, are regulated by serotonin (5HT). The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), the major site for neuronal 5HT synthesis, sends projections to the nucleus accumbens (NAc). NAc glutamatergic synapse adaptations are consistent with changes in mood and reward, key components of stress disorders. A subpopulation of DRN projection neurons express the β3 subunit of the integrin αvβ3 receptor. The integrin αvβ3 receptor regulates extracellular 5HT concentration by modulation of 5HT transporters. Previous work has implicated this cell adhesion receptor in modulating stress, as mice lacking the β3 subunit have increased vulnerability to chronic stress. However, how NAc function is regulated by the DRN β3 subunit and contributes to maladaptive reward behaviors as seen in stress disorders is unknown.
