This FOA solicits applications to develop and standardize methods to generate cell types relevant to substance abuse from human iPS cells. Cells of interest include neurons and glial cells, and cells of other tissues, if justification and rationale are provided. The development of standardized approaches to reprogram or induce adult cells to become pluripotent stem cells will inform our understanding of the pathophysiology of substance use and abuse and may provide a novel mechanism for screening compounds for the treatment of addiction.
This FOA uses the R21 funding mechanism because of its exploratory/developmental nature.
Background
Recent discovery of genetically reprogramming human somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells provides an unprecedented opportunity to developing novel approaches for the study of substance abuse and other psychiatric disorders. As iPS cells can divide without differentiating for a prolonged period and give rise to derivatives of all three embryonic germ layers, these cells may be used to generate individualized stem cells for specific tissue induction and for the research of cell and molecular responses of substances of abuse, to examine the effects of a known genotype on the cellular phenotype, as well as to develop novel approaches for addiction medication.
Substance abuse induces long-lasting changes in the brain, as well as in other organs. In the brain, chronic exposure to substances of abuse leads to changes in gene expression and alters the dynamics and function of neural circuits that contribute to complex behavioral abnormalities and psychiatric disorders.
At this time, it is difficult to obtain sufficient, patient and disease-specific, consistently differentiated cells of the same genetic background for molecular analysis. This problem may be overcome by culturing iPS cells derived from individual patients and addicts for cell-based modeling of functional consequences of addiction, as well as screening medication for effectiveness and toxicity that captures the genetic variation found in the human population.
Reprogramming fully differentiated cells into iPS cells enables innovative research on developmental and non-cell-autonomous diseases. For cellular and molecular studies of many cognitive and psychiatric disorders, animal models and human embryonic stem cells may not provide the appropriate background for the analysis of the pathways that lead to the pathologies of a particular multi-genetic disorders or gene mutation that triggers altered physiology or abnormal differentiation properties. The differentiation of patient-specific and disease-specific iPS cells may recapitulate (reenact and recapture) the mechanisms and characteristics of developmental processes that lead to substance use. Furthermore, since the iPS cells are pluripotent, non-cell-autonomous mechanisms can be studied within cells derived from one genetic background.
Recent genetic studies have suggested the association of a number of genetic variants with addiction such as SNPs in the nicotinic subunit receptor genes on 15q25, A118G in OPRM1, variants in ANKK1, and several of the cytochrome P450 genes involved in drug metabolism (e.g. CYP2A6, CYP2B6). The most replicated result is the finding of SNPs within the CHRNA3-CHRNB4-CHRNA5 cluster on chromosome 15q25, which are associated with smoking frequency. Isolation and differentiation of iPS cells from defined genetic backgrounds provides a unique opportunity to elucidate the pathophysiology and consequences of substance abuse disorder, as well as to create models to screen therapeutics.
Objectives of this Research Program
The development of approaches to reprogram or induce somatic cells to become iPS cells will have great impact in many areas of neuroscience research because primary cells and tissues that are not readily accessible can be generated. The National Institute on Drug Abuse encourages applications that explore how iPS cells and related tools can be used to further our understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms and consequences of substance abuse and addiction, and to explore the opportunity of using these approaches to aid in the development of effective treatments for addiction.
Develop and standardize methods for the induction, maintenance and differentiation of effective tissue-specific substance abuse relevant iPS cells.
Establishing the most reliable, effective and standardized methods for the efficient generation and differentiation of human iPS cell for the study of various cell types involved in substance abuse and addiction, including neurons, glial cells, as well as cell of other tissues, if justification and rationale is provided. For neuronal cells, the cell types to be generated are those in neuronal circuits and anatomical areas that mediate substance abuse and addiction. These anatomical areas include but are not limited to the prefrontal cortex, nucleus accumbens, striatum, ventral tegmental area (VTA), the medial and lateral habenula, and interpeduncular nucleus.
Applicants may wish to derive iPS cells from individuals with genotypes associated with addiction phentoypes such as SNPs in CHRNA5-CHRNB4-CHRNA3 cluster on chromosome 15q25. The choice of genotype background should be well justified, e.g., well characterized genotypes that show association with defined phenotypes, or replicable functional effects.
Explore genotype and tissue-specific iPS cells for substance abuse research.
Compare and contrast the molecular phenotypes of the differentiated iPS cells with cell types in anatomical regions that mediate addiction.
Characterize the electrophysiological and pharmacological properties of the differentiated iPS cells and validate the properties to the cell types of interest at the relevant brain sites.
Compare and contrast the phenotypes of the differentiated iPS cells derived from affected and unaffected individuals, with and without the same genotype.

Only the review criteria described below will be considered in the review process. As part of the NIH mission, all applications submitted to the NIH in support of biomedical and behavioral research are evaluated for scientific and technical merit through the NIH peer review system.
The R21 exploratory/developmental grant supports investigation of novel scientific ideas or new model systems, tools, or technologies that have the potential for significant impact on biomedical or biobehavioral research. An R21 grant application need not have extensive background material or preliminary information. Accordingly, reviewers will focus their evaluation on the conceptual framework, the level of innovation, and the potential to significantly advance our knowledge or understanding. Appropriate justification for the proposed work can be provided through literature citations, data from other sources, or, when available, from investigator-generated data. Preliminary data are not required for R21 applications; however, they may be included if available.
Reviewers will provide an overall impact/priority score to reflect their assessment of the likelihood for the project to exert a sustained, powerful influence on the research field(s) involved, in consideration of the following review criteria and additional review criteria (as applicable for the project proposed).
Reviewers will consider each of the review criteria below in the determination of scientific merit, and give a separate score for each. An application does not need to be strong in all categories to be judged likely to have major scientific impact. For example, a project that by its nature is not innovative may be essential to advance a field.
