Overview

In vitro model demonstrates that MPH and ATX do not affect epigenetic DNA modifiers in PBMCs, implying no sensitization to cocaine.

Key Points

  • This research aims to investigate how methylphenidate and atomoxetine influence epigenetic DNA modifiers in PBMCs.
  • Used in vitro model of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells
  • Examined concentration-dependent effects of MPH and ATX
  • Assessed mRNA levels and enzymatic activity of DNMTs and TETs
  • Evaluated sensitivity of PBMCs to cocaine exposure after MPH or ATX exposure
  • Repeated MPH or ATX exposure did not affect mRNA levels of DNMTs or TETs
  • No change in enzymatic activity of DNMTs or TETs in PBMCs after exposure
  • Prior exposure to either drug did not sensitize PBMCs to cocaine treatment
