编码α5烟碱乙酰胆碱受体(nAChR)亚基的基因CHRNA 5的遗传变异增加了对烟草成瘾和肺癌的易感性,但其潜在机制尚不清楚。在这里,我们报告了Chrna 5无效突变小鼠的尼古丁消耗量显着增加。这种效应在基因敲除小鼠中通过内侧缰(MHb)中α5亚基的重新表达而被“拯救”,并在大鼠中通过MHb中α5亚基的敲低而重现。值得注意的是,MHb中α5亚基的敲低并没有改变尼古丁的奖励作用,但消除了较高剂量尼古丁对大脑奖励系统的抑制作用。MHb几乎只将投射延伸到脚间核(IPN)。我们发现α5基因敲除小鼠对尼古丁的反应中IPN活化减少,而大鼠中IPN信号的破坏增加了尼古丁的摄入。我们的研究结果表明,尼古丁通过含α5的nAChR激活缰核-脚间通路,触发抑制性动机信号,从而限制尼古丁摄入。
Genetic variation in CHRNA5, the gene encoding the α5 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunit, increases vulnerability to tobacco addiction and lung cancer, but underlying mechanisms are unknown. Here, we report dramatically increased nicotine consumption in mice with null mutation in Chrna5. This effect was `rescued' in knockout mice by re-expressing α5 subunits in medial habenula (MHb), and recapitulated in rats through α5 subunit knockdown in MHb. Remarkably, α5 subunit knockdown in MHb did not alter the rewarding effects of nicotine but abolished the inhibitory effects of higher nicotine doses on brain reward systems. The MHb extends projections almost exclusively to the interpeduncular nucleus (IPN). We found diminished IPN activation in response to nicotine in α5 knockout mice and disruption of IPN signaling increased nicotine intake in rats. Our findings suggest that nicotine activates the habenulo-interpeduncular pathway through α5-containing nAChRs, triggering an inhibitory motivational signal that acts to limit nicotine intake.
