Inhaled nicotine is efficiently delivered to the brain (see chapter by Benowitz, this volume) where it selectively interacts with its central targets, the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). The multiple subtypes of uAChR (see chapter by Collins et al, this volume) all bind nicotine but with different affinities, depending on the subunit composition of the uAChR. Binding may result in activation or desensitisation of uAChRs, reflecting the temporal characteristics of nicotine dehvery and local concentration of nicotine. Another level of complexity of the actions of nicotine reflects the widespread and non-uniform distribution of uAChR subtypes within the brain, such that nicotine can influence many centrally regulated functions in addition to the reward systems. In this chapter, we address the consequences of nicotine interactions with nAChRs at the molecular, cellular and anatomical levels. We critically evaluate experimental approaches, with respect to their relevance to human smoking, and contrast the acute and chronic effects of nicotine. [Pg.174]

Abstract The existence of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChRs) expression in the brain was discovered 30 years ago. Although the relevance of neuronal nAChRs at the time of their discovery was debated, it is now clear that nAChRs are expressed throughout the brain where they mainly serve a modulatory role. Neuronal nAChRs increasingly have become of interest due to the many observations that various nAChR subtypes exhibit abnormal expression or function in a wide assortment of neurological diseases. In this review, the putative role of nAChRs in brain disease is discussed in several broad categories (1) diseases associated with a loss of nAChRs, (2) diseases associated with innate differences in the expression of nAChRs, (3) diseases associated with genetic variability in genes that code for nAChR subunit proteins, and (4) diseases in which nAChRs are implicated based on the observation that nicotine has a therapeutic effect. [Pg.757]

Recent data indicate that AEA can interact with known GPCRs for other neuronal mediators or with novel GPCRs. AEA was found to exhibit inhibitory activity on 5-hydroxy-tryptamine receptors (Kimura et al., 1998), and both muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (Lagalwar et al., 1999 Oz et al., 2003). Except for the inhibitory effect on nACh alpha7 nicotinic receptors (IC50 = 218 wM), however, AEA appears to modulate the binding and functional activity of 5-HT and acetylcholine only at concentrations (> 5 iM) that are not likely to occur in vivo.
