ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This book is based in part on the Marcus Wallenberg Symposium entitled "Alcohol, Cell Membranes, and Signal Transduction in Brain" held in Lund, Sweden, June 28 -July 1, 1992. The major sponsor of the symposium was the Marcus Wallenberg Foundation for International Scientific Exchange. Cosponsors were the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, USA, and the Swedish Medical Research Council. Additional support was provided by Bristol-Myers AB, Ciba-Geigy AB, Janssen Pharma AB, Kabi-Pharmacia Diagnostics Sverige AB, Labdesign AB and Scandinavian Diagnostic Services. A special note of appreciation is extended to the Local Organizing Committee (Lena Gustavsson, Christer Larsson, Christofer Lundqvist and F. David Rodriguez) and the conference secretaries (Helena Elding and Marie Elmer) for their administrative and technical support that contributed significantly to the overall success of the symposium. vii PREFACE Alcohol abuse and alcoholism are international problems whose costs economical ly, psychologically and medically have been well documented. Alcohol is a unique drug in that the effects of excessive use can have a deleterious effect on most if not all organs of the body. The brain is one of the organs most affected by excessive alcohol consumption. Effects on the brain can be seen in cognitive function, brain structure and neurochemistry. Over the past few years, there have been significant advances made in understanding how alcohol affects brain neurochemistry. This book examines four major areas, i. e., membrane lipids, receptors and ion channels, second messengers, and gene expression, where significant advancements have been made. The book is divided into four sections based on the four major areas. In each section, data are examined that cover a range of approaches from in vitro to in vivo studies. The section on membrane lipids includes recent developments in how ethanol affects membrane cholesterol domains, polyunsaturated fatty acids, the cause and consequences of phosphatidylethanol formation, and the modulation of membrane protein function by lipid-protein interaction. The second section comprises chapters on NMDA and 5-HT3 receptors, including new aspects on alcohol neurotoxicity and the molecular heterogeneity that may underlie differences in alcohol sensitivity as well as chapters on GABA-gated chloride flux, and calcium channels. The third section on second messengers includes chapters on ethanol effects on nucleoside transport and the induction of heterologous desensitization, G-proteins, phospholipases generating second messengers, and discussions on the selectivity of ethanol actions at different levels of the signal transduction. Chapters in the fourth section on gene expression describe the regulation of neuronal gene transcription by ethanol and the effects of acute and chronic administration of ethanol on c-jos expression. Alcohol has a Ubiquitous effect on the neurochemistry of the brain. It is clear that no single approach or system can explain alcohol-induced phenomena such as intoxication, tolerance, and dependence. Ethanol seems to be able to induce sequential ix effects or parallel effects as well as direct effects on defined molecules in the cellular machinery. Some systems may be more affected by acute alcohol than others and chronic effects of alcohol include changes in gene expression. The organization of the book follows the effects of ethanol from actions on membrane lipids, ion channels and receptors, followed by effects on signal transduc tion and intracellular proteins to the regulation of the genes. It is our hope that this volume will stimulate new ideas and approaches to the understanding of the actions of such a simple molecule as ethanol on nerve cells and integrated brain function.
