Abstract

AbstractNociceptin/orphanin-FQ (N/OFQ) is a recently appreciated critical opioid peptide with key regulatory functions in several central behavioral processes including motivation, stress, feeding, and sleep. The functional relevance of N/OFQ action in the mammalian brain remains unclear due to a lack of high-resolution approaches to detect this neuropeptide with appropriate spatial and temporal resolution. Here we develop and characterize NOPLight, a genetically encoded sensor that sensitively reports changes in endogenous N/OFQ release. We characterized the affinity, pharmacological profile, spectral properties, kinetics, ligand selectivity, and potential interaction with intracellular signal transducers of NOPLight in vitro. Its functionality was established in acute brain slices by exogeneous N/OFQ application and chemogenetic induction of endogenous N/OFQ release from PNOC neurons. In vivo studies with fiber photometry enabled a direct recording of binding by N/OFQ receptor ligands, as well as the detection of natural or chemogenetically-evoked endogenous N/OFQ release within the paranigral ventral tegmental area (pnVTA). In summary, we show that NOPLight can be used to detect N/OFQ opioid peptide signal dynamics in tissue and freely-behaving animals.
