Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit knockout mice: physiological and behavioral phenotypes and possible clinical implications
Open accessAbstract
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the muscle, autonomic ganglia, and brain are targets for pharmacologically administered nicotine. Several of the subunits that combine to form neuronal nicotinic receptors have been deleted by knockout or mutated by knockin in mice using homologous recombination. We will review the biochemical, pharmacological, anatomical, physiological, and behavioral phenotypes of mice with genetically altered neuronal nAChR subunits. Clinically relevant mutations in nAChR genes will also be discussed. In addition, some of the signal transduction pathways activated through nAChRs will be described in order to delineate the longer-term changes that might result from persistent activation or inactivation of nAChRs. Genetically manipulated mice have greatly increased our understanding of the subunit composition and physiological properties of nAChRs in vivo. In addition, these mice have provided a model system to determine the molecular basis for many of the pharmacological actions of nicotine on neurotransmitter release and behavior. Genetic manipulations in mice have also elucidated the role of nAChR subunits in various disease states, and suggest several avenues for drug development.

“Nicotinic receptors function as non-selective, excitatory cation channels (Changeux et al., 1998; Picciotto et al., 2001) and occur as homomeric or heteromeric assemblies of a large family of α- and β-subunits (α2-α7 and β2-β4; reviewed in (Picciotto et al., 2000)).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
