英文摘要
PROJECT SUMMARY
Chronic exposure to nicotine in tobacco products results in numerous health consequences (lung cancer,
emphysema, hypertension, etc.) and accounts for over 6 million deaths per year. Relapse rates are high among
those who attempt to quit smoking, and pharmacotherapies that seek to foster smoking cessation have limited
effectiveness. Thus, there is a significant unmet need for more effective strategies to treat nicotine dependence.
Nicotine exposure produces physical dependence, and the physical and/or emotional nicotine withdrawal
symptoms – as compared to the rewarding effects of nicotine – are often the most important contributors to
relapse. Unfortunately, few research studies have probed the important question of physical dependence and
nicotine withdrawal mechanisms. Indeed, a critical gap in knowledge exists regarding our understanding of
how chronic nicotine exposure establishes physical dependence and therefore makes smokers highly
susceptible to relapse. In this project, we will use mouse models to study the medial habenula (MHB), a small
brain area in the epithalamic region that has recently been implicated in nicotine withdrawal, and which
expresses extraordinarily high levels of several types of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). nAChRs
mediate the psychoactive and addictive action of nicotine, and we intend to identify the relevant nAChRs and
MHB circuits involved in nicotine dependence and withdrawal. Three independent and complementary AIMs
are proposed, each of which probes a specific mechanistic aspect of the response to nicotine in the MHB. In
AIM 1, we will use biophysical and optical techniques to determine through what mechanisms acute nicotine
differentially activates specific cell types in MHB. In AIM 2, we will employ similar techniques to determine
how chronic nicotine selectively enhances neuronal activity in a specific sub-circuit of the withdrawal pathway.
Finally, in AIM 3, we will couple physiology techniques with a novel behavioral/systems approach to identify
important MHB circuits involved in generating physical and/or emotional responses during nicotine
withdrawal. Together, these AIMs will help us solve the problem of understanding how cessation of nicotine
intake causes the brain to generate aversive physical and emotional withdrawal responses that inevitably lead
to relapse. Solving this problem could lead to new strategies or drugs to foster smoking cessation.
