We found and study new three molecules related methamphetamine dependence, Shati/Nat8L, Piccolo and TMEM168. Accumbal Shati rescue the dependence-induced by methamphetamine via mGluR3, and dopaminergic deficiency. Reduce of Piccolo can inhibit methamphetamine dependence via GABA regulation. TMEM168 also inhibit the methamphetamine dependence via osteopontin pathways. We found some pathway to establish drug dependence. We expected them for the new medical target for the drug dependence.
Recently, we attempt to find these molecular regulation system to develop new medical tool. Here we would like to recent our results
