Distinct contributions of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit α4 and subunit α6 to the reinforcing effects of nicotine
Open accessAbstract
Nicotine is the primary psychoactive component of tobacco. Its reinforcing and addictive properties depend on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) located within the mesolimbic axis originating in the ventral tegmental area (VTA). The roles and oligomeric assembly of subunit α4- and subunit α6-containing nAChRs in dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons are much debated. Using subunit-specific knockout mice and targeted lentiviral re-expression, we have determined the subunit dependence of intracranial nicotine self-administration (ICSA) into the VTA and the effects of nicotine on dopamine (DA) neuron excitability in the VTA and on DA transmission in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). We show that the α4 subunit, but not the α6 subunit, is necessary for ICSA and nicotine-induced bursting of VTA DAergic neurons, whereas subunits α4 and α6 together regulate the activity dependence of DA transmission in the NAc. These data suggest that α4-dominated enhancement of burst firing in DA neurons, relayed by DA transmission in NAc that is gated by nAChRs containing α4 and α6 subunits, underlies nicotine self-administration and its long-term maintenance.

“Similarly, knockout of the α4 subunit abolishes intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) selfadministration of nicotine, consistent with evidence that α4/β2 Ã nAChRs are required for depolarization of DA neurons in the VTA (Exley et al. 2011;McGranahan et al. 2011).”

“In contrast, in mice with constitutive knockout of the α6 subunit, intra-VTA selfadministration of nicotine is not disrupted, whereas α4 Ã nAChRs are necessaryand sufficient for both intra-VTA self-administration, as well as nicotine-induced increases in firing of DA neurons (Exley et al. 2011;McGranahan et al. 2011).”

“However, α4 and α6 subunits are both required for the ability of nicotine to gate DA transmission in the NAc, suggesting that nAChRs in NAc may be more important in motivation to self-administer nicotine (Brunzell et al. 2010;Exley et al. 2011) and that this may affect acquisition of self-administration behavior (Pons et al. 2008;Gotti et al. 2010), as well as nicotine-dependent locomotor activ”

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.
