摘要

Varenicline, an FDA approved smoking cessation pharmacotherapy, is an alpha4beta2* nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) partial agonist and an alpha7* nAChR full agonist. Both subtypes of nAChR are involved in modulating auditory evoked responses in rodents. In DBA/2 mice, an inbred strain, auditory evoked responses to paired auditory stimuli fail to inhibit to the second stimulus. This mouse strain replicates the auditory evoked response inhibition deficit experienced by the majority of schizophrenia patients. In this current study, we examined the effects of five different doses of varenicline (0.06, 0.3, 0.6, 3 and 6mg/kg) on auditory evoked responses in anesthetized DBA/2 mice. We also administered alpha4beta2* and alpha7* nAChR selective antagonists prior to varenicline administration to determine which nAChR subtypes mediate the effects of varenicline. Four of the five doses of varenicline produced improvements in auditory evoked response inhibition deficits. Selective blockade of either the alpha4beta2* or alpha7* nAChR in competition with 0.6mg/kg varenicline prevented varenicline induced improvements. In competition with a higher dose of varenicline (3mg/kg) only blockade of the alpha4beta2* nAChR prevented varenicline induced improvement in auditory evoked response inhibition. These data indicate the importance of alpha4beta2* nAChRs and the potential involvement of the alpha7* subtype in varenicline's effects on auditory evoked responses in DBA/2 mice.
