Abstrakt: Methamphetamine (METH) is a highly addictive psychostimulant that causes physical and psychological damage and immune system disorder, especially in the liver which contains a significant number of immune cells. Dopamine, a key neurotransmitter in METH addiction and immune regulation, plays a crucial role in this process. Here, we developed a chronic METH administration model and conducted single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to investigate the effect of METH on liver immune cells and the involvement of dopamine receptor D1 (DRD1). Our findings reveal that chronic exposure to METH induces immune cell identity shifts from IFITM3+ macrophage (Mac) and CCL5+ Mac to CD14+ Mac, as well as from FYN+CD4+ T effector (Teff), CD8+ T, and natural killer T (NKT) to FOS+CD4+ T and RORα+ group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2), along with the suppression of multiple functional immune pathways. DRD1 is implicated in regulating certain pathways and identity shifts among the hepatic immune cells. Our results provide valuable insights into the development of targeted therapies to mitigate METH-induced immune impairment.
