Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is the common pharmacological treatment for smoking cessation. There appear to be individual differences in the degree to which some formulations of NRT are clinically efficacious. Because of the vastly different speed of nicotine delivery between transdermal (TN) and nasal spray nicotine (NS), some of this individual differences in efficacy may relate to different effects of these products on neurochemical responses. Differences in dopamine transporter genotype, SLAGA3-9 ("protected") versus SLC6A3- *("predisposed"), are related to smoking status, perhaps because of differential effects of nicotine on the dopaminergic reward system. A smoking cessation study (project #2) is planned as part of the main center application to examine whether dopamine transporter genotype may predict differential outcome with TN versus NS treatment. This project includes assessment of the reinforcing value of smoking prior to starting NRT. The present pilot study extends and complements the clinical study by examining under controlled conditions whether the reinforcing value of smoking in response to acute exposure to TN versus may be differentially reduced between smokers of one genotype or the other. In this pilot project, we propose to: 1) Compare the reinforcing value of smoking following acute pre- treatment with TN, NS, and placebo between smokers with the SLC6A3- 9 versus SLC6A3-* dopamine genotypes. We predict that the reinforcing value of smoking will be decreased more by NS versus TN (main effect of NRT type) and that this decrease will differ as a function of genotype (genotype x NRT type interaction). The reinforcing value of smoking will be decreased by NS, but not TN, in SLC6A3-* smokers, while the reinforcing value of smoking will be decreased by either NS or TN in SLC6A3-9 smokers. 2) Compare acute objective mood response to TN, NS, and placebo between dopamine genotypes. Although of secondary, we predict that positive subjective responses (e.g. "alert", "relaxed") will be increased by NS more in smokers with SLC6A3-* versus SLC6A3-9 genotypes, while differences are expected between groups in mood responses to TN (genotype x NRT interaction). Result of this pilot may help explain possible different clinical efficacy of TN and NS between genotypes and aid in the identification of smokers more likely to benefit from one of the other formulation of NRT (i.e. tailor pharmacotherapy).

尼古丁替代疗法（NRT）是戒烟常用的药物治疗方法。一些NRT制剂在临床上有效的程度似乎存在个体差异。由于透皮尼古丁（TN）和鼻喷尼古丁（NS）的尼古丁传递速度有很大差异，这种功效的个体差异可能与这些产品对神经化学反应的不同影响有关。多巴胺转运蛋白SLAGA3-9（“受保护”）与SLC6A3- *（“易感”）基因型的差异与吸烟状况有关，可能是因为尼古丁对多巴胺能奖励系统的不同影响。戒烟研究（项目#2）计划作为主要中心申请的一部分，以检查多巴胺转运蛋白基因型是否可以预测TN与NS治疗的不同结果。该项目包括在开始NRT之前评估吸烟的强化价值。目前的初步研究是对临床研究的扩展和补充，在受控条件下，研究一种基因型或另一种基因型的吸烟者在急性暴露于总氮时，吸烟的强化价值是否会有差异地降低。在这个试点项目中，我们建议：1)比较SLC6A3- 9和SLC6A3-*多巴胺基因型吸烟者在急性前治疗中TN、NS和安慰剂的强化价值。我们预测，NS比TN （NRT型的主要作用）更能降低吸烟的强化值，并且这种降低会随着基因型（基因型与NRT型相互作用）的函数而有所不同。SLC6A3-*吸烟者吸烟的强化值会被NS降低，而TN不降低；SLC6A3-9吸烟者吸烟的强化值会被NS或TN降低。2)比较多巴胺基因型对TN、NS和安慰剂的急性客观情绪反应。虽然是次要的，但我们预测积极的主观反应(例如：与SLC6A3-9基因型相比，SLC6A3-*基因型吸烟者的“警觉”、“放松”水平增加NS更多，而两组之间对TN的情绪反应（基因型与NRT相互作用）存在差异。该试验的结果可能有助于解释TN和NS在基因型之间可能存在的不同临床疗效，并有助于确定吸烟者更有可能从另一种NRT制剂中获益（即定制药物治疗）。
