Abstract

The present study was designed to investigate the effect of Rehmannia glutinosa on phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK) and cAMP response element-binding protein(CREB) in the acute cocaine-treated rats. Rats orally received vehicle or extract of Rehmannia glutinosa 1 h prior to saline (1 ml/kg, i.p.) or cocaine hydrochloride (20 mg/kg, i.p.) treatment. Rats were sacrificed 15 min after a single intraperitoneal injection of saline or cocaine. Rehmannia glutinosa at dose of 50 mg/kg significantly decreased phosphorylation of ERK, CREB and Elk-1 in the nucleus accumbens and striatum of the cocaine-treated rat brain by immunocytochemistry. These results suggest that Rehmannia glutinosa may contribute to the effects of cocaine on gene expression and on behaviors.
