The 6 subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is
expressed at very high levels in dopaminergic (DA) neurons. However,
because of the lack of pharmacological tools selective for
6-containing nAChRs, the role of this subunit in the etiology of
nicotine addiction remains unknown. To provide new tools to investigate
this issue, we generated an 6 nAChR knock-out mouse. Homozygous null
mutants ( 6 / ) did not exhibit any gross neurological or
behavioral deficits. A careful anatomic and molecular examination of
6 / mouse brains demonstrated the absence of developmental alterations in these animals, especially in the visual and dopaminergic pathways, where the 6 subunit is normally expressed at the highest levels. On the other hand, receptor autoradiography revealed a decrease
in [3H]nicotine,
[3H]epibatidine, and
[3H]cytisine high-affinity binding in the terminal
fields of retinal ganglion cells of 6 / animals, whereas
high-affinity [125I] -conotoxinMII ( CtxMII)
binding completely disappeared in the brain. Moreover, inhibition of
[3H]epibatidine binding on striatal membranes,
using unlabeled CtxMII or cytisine, revealed the absence of
CtxMII-sensitive and cytisine-resistant [3H]epibatidine binding sites in 6 / mice,
although the total amount of binding was unchanged. Because CtxMII,
a toxin formerly thought to be specific for 3 2-containing nAChRs,
is known to partially inhibit nicotine-induced dopamine release, these
results support the conclusion that 6 rather than 3 is the
partner of 2 in the nicotinic modulation of DA neurons. They further
show that 6 / mice might be useful tools to understand the
mechanisms of nicotine addiction, although some developmental
compensation might occur in these mice.
