d-Cycloserine (DCS), a partial agonist at the strychnine-insensitive glycine recognition site on the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor complex, has been shown to facilitate the extinction and prevent the relapse of cocaine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) when administered before or after each extinction trail. However, some studies have suggested that DCS does not influence or even enhance relapse of seeking behavior on cocaine self-administration (SA) in rats or cocaine-dependent individuals undergoing clinical exposure treatment. Furthermore, there are no reports on the effects of DCS and the extinction of morphine-conditioned behaviors in mice. The present study investigated the effects of DCS on extinction by exposing mice to drug-paired cues and the subsequent reinstatement of morphine-primed CPP. Our results showed that DCS at doses of 7.5, 15, and 30mg/kg did not induce conditioned appetitive or aversive effects and DCS combined with morphine conditioning failed to affect the acquisition of morphine-induced CPP. Moreover, pretreatment with DCS (7.5, 15, and 30mg/kg, i.p.) prior to extinction training had no significant effects on the extinction and subsequent morphine-primed reinstatement of morphine-induced CPP. These results suggested that DCS may not be a powerful adjunct for cue exposure therapy of opioid addiction. In view of differing outcomes in both preclinical and clinical studies, the potential of DCS in exposure treatment of drug-seeking behaviors should be carefully evaluated.
