Nicotine inside neurons
Tobacco smoking is a major source of preventable morbidity and mortality worldwide particularly due to lung tumours and/or cardiovascular pathologies. Continued tobacco smoking is primarily driven by dependence on nicotine, one of the main psychoactive ingredients of tobacco smoke, which initiates a series of adaptive changes in brain neurons and circuits by binding with high affinity to neuron...
متن کاملCoordination Driven Capture of Nicotine Inside a Mesoporous MOF
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are a wide class of crystalline porous polymers studied in many fields, ranging from catalysis to gas storage. In the past few years, MOFs have been studied for the encapsulation of organic or organometallic molecules and for the development of potential drug carriers. Here, we report on the study of two structurally-related mesoporous Cu-MOFs, namely PCN-6 and P...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation by nicotine in dopaminergic neurons.
Dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) degenerate in Parkinson's disease. These neurons robustly express several nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes. Smoking appears to be neuroprotective for Parkinson's disease but the mechanism is unknown. To determine whether chronic nicotine-induced changes in gene expression contribute to the neuroprotective effects ...
متن کاملThe Sensory Impact of Nicotine on Noradrenergic and Dopaminergic Neurons of the Nicotine Reward - Addiction Neurocircuitry.
The sensory experience of smoking is a key component of nicotine addiction known to result, in part, from stimulation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) at peripheral sensory nerve endings. Such stimulation of nAChRs is followed by activation of neurons at multiple sites in the mesocorticolimbic reward pathways. However, the neurochemical profiles of CNS cells that mediate the periph...
متن کاملNicotine Elicits Convulsive Seizures by Activating Amygdalar Neurons
Nicotinic acetylcholine (nACh) receptors are implicated in the pathogenesis of epileptic disorders; however, the mechanisms of nACh receptors in seizure generation remain unknown. Here, we performed behavioral and immunohistochemical studies in mice and rats to clarify the mechanisms underlying nicotine-induced seizures. Treatment of animals with nicotine (1-4 mg/kg, i.p.) produced motor excite...
