Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, with 87% of smokers starting before the age of 18. Age of initiation is a major predictive factor for smoking frequency and successful smoking cessation. People who initiate smoking during adolescences are 2.33 times more likely to become heavy smokers and half as likely to quit compared to smokers who started during adulthood. Additionally, schizophrenia, a disease state linked to altered neurodevelopment during adolescence, is a major predictive factor for smoking status. Smoking rates among people suffering from schizophrenia are between 60–90%. Interestingly, the Neuregulin Signaling Pathway (NSP), which plays an important role in neurodevelopment, is implicated in both schizophrenia and nicotine use disorder. Specifically, SNPS in neuregulin 3 (Nrg3) and Erb-B2 Receptor Tyrosine Kinase 4 (ErbB4) have been associated with smoking cessation outcomes and schizophrenia. Here, we examine the effects of chronic nicotine (18 mg/kg/day) and 24-hour withdrawal on NSP gene expression in the hippocampus of adult (20-week-old) and adolescent (4-week-old) mice. We show that withdrawal from chronic nicotine decreased the expression of Erbb4 mRNA in the hippocampus of the adult mice but increased the expression of cytosolic Erbb4 protein in adolescent mice. Nrg3 mRNA and protein expression was not altered by chronic nicotine or withdrawal in the adult or adolescent cohorts, but Nrg3 mRNA and synaptosomal protein expression was lower in the adult withdrawal group when compared to their adolescent counterparts. These results highlight the age specific effects of nicotine withdrawal on the NSP and may contribute to the lower quit rate and higher cigarette consumption of smokers who initiation during adolescences. Adolescent mice undergoing forced withdrawal had a higher Nrg3, Nrg3os, ErbB4 mRNA than adult mice undergoing forced withdrawal. A proposed age dependent mechanism where a decrease in Ca2+ signaling decreases Nrg3 expression, but a higher Nrg3os mRNA expression in the withdrawal adolescents prevents degradation of Nrg3 leading to a higher level of synaptosomal NRG3 protein during withdrawal compared to the adults. The increased synaptosomal NRG3 binds to ErbB4 causing an endocytosis and effects downstream signaling which may lead to the increased risk of affective disorder in adolescents who smoke.
