Habenular TCF7L2 links nicotine addiction to diabetes
Open accessAbstract
Diabetes is far more prevalent in smokers than non-smokers, but the underlying mechanisms of vulnerability are unknown. Here we show that the diabetes-associated gene Tcf7l2 is densely expressed in the medial habenula (mHb) region of the rodent brain, where it regulates the function of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Inhibition of TCF7L2 signalling in the mHb increases nicotine intake in mice and rats. Nicotine increases levels of blood glucose by TCF7L2-dependent stimulation of the mHb. Virus-tracing experiments identify a polysynaptic connection from the mHb to the pancreas, and wild-type rats with a history of nicotine consumption show increased circulating levels of glucagon and insulin, and diabetes-like dysregulation of blood glucose homeostasis. By contrast, mutant Tcf7l2 rats are resistant to these actions of nicotine. Our findings suggest that TCF7L2 regulates the stimulatory actions of nicotine on a habenula-pancreas axis that links the addictive properties of nicotine to its diabetes-promoting actions.

In the citing paper
“Using a line of Tcf7l2 mutant (Tcf7l2 mut ) rats in which the DNA-binding do-main of TCF7L2 was deleted using zinc finger nucleases it was shown that nicotine self-administration behavior is markedly enhanced by TCF7L2 deficiency (Duncan et al. 2019).”

In the citing paper
“Inhibition of TCF7L2 activity in the MHb, accomplished in mice by CRISPR-Cas9 cleavage of Tcf7l2 DNA or in rats by local delivery of short interfering RNAs to knock down Tcf7l2 transcripts, dramatically increases nicotine intake (Duncan et al. 2019).”

“Using whole-cell recordings to assess pharmacologically isolated nAChR currents in MHb slices, it was shown that the amplitude of nicotine-evoked nAChR currents were similar in wild-type and TCF7L2-deficent rats (Duncan et al. 2019).”

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.
