Upregulation of Surface α4β2 Nicotinic Receptors Is Initiated by Receptor Desensitization after Chronic Exposure to Nicotine
Open accessAbstract
It is hypothesized that desensitization of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) induced by chronic exposure to nicotine initiates upregulation of nAChR number. To test this hypothesis directly, oocytes expressing α4β2 receptors were chronically incubated (24–48 hr) in nicotine, and the resulting changes in specific [3 H]nicotine binding to surface receptors on intact oocytes were compared with functional receptor desensitization. Four lines of evidence strongly support the hypothesis. (1) The half-maximal nicotine concentration necessary to produce desensitization (9.7 n m) was the same as that needed to induce upregulation (9.9 n m). (2) The concentration of [3 H]nicotine for half-maximal binding to surface nAChRs on intact oocytes was also similar (11.1 n m), as predicted from cyclical desensitization models. (3) Functional desensitization of α3β4 receptors required 10-fold higher nicotine concentrations, and this was mirrored by a 10-fold shift in concentrations necessary for upregulation. (4) Mutant α4β2 receptors that do not recover fully from desensitization, but not wild-type channels, were upregulated after acute (1 hr) applications of nicotine. Interestingly, the nicotine concentration required for half-maximal binding of α4β2 receptors in total cell membrane homogenates was 20-fold lower than that measured for surface nAChRs in intact oocytes. These data suggest that cell homogenate binding assays may not accurately reflect the in vivo desensitization affinity of surface nAChRs and may account for some of the previously reported differences in the efficacy of nicotine for inducing nAChR desensitization and upregulation.

Desensitization is a prominent mechanism contributing to nAChR upregulation.
“While some combinations of nAChR subunits render receptor complexes more prone to upregulation than others, desensitization is a prominent mechanism that contributes to this upregulation (Fenster et al. 1999).”
From Nicotine Withdrawal (2015) · cites this paper as Fenster et al. 1999
Nicotine desensitizes nAChRs, driving increased receptor levels as an attempt to maintain circuit homeostasis.
“Nicotine desensitizes nAChRs and renders them unresponsive and this phenomenon drives an increase in receptor levels as part of an attempt to maintain circuit-level homeostasis [87–89].”
From Mechanistic insights into nicotine withdrawal (2011) · cites this paper as [87]
During ongoing smoking, there is decreased ACh signaling through some nAChR subtypes, but signaling is likely restored and potentially increased over time as nicotine is cleared during withdrawal because high affinity nAChRs are upregulated by chronic nicotine use.
“These data suggest there is decreased ACh signaling through some nAChR subtypes during ongoing smoking, but likely to be restored and potentially increased over time (because high affinity nAChRs are upregulated by chronic nicotine use as experienced by smokers (Fenster et al., 1999) as nicotine is cleared during withdrawal.”

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.
