Male Wistar rats were used to verify the hypothesis that serotonin (5-HT)(2A) or 5-HT (2C) receptors may control the locomotor effects evoked by nicotine (0.4 mg/kg).

We verified the hypothesis that serotonin (5-HT)(2) receptors control the locomotor effects of nicotine (0.4 mg kg (-1)) in rats by using the 5-HT (2A) receptor antagonist M100907, the preferential 5-HT (2A) receptor agonist DOI, the 5-HT (2C) receptor antagonist SB 242084, and the 5-HT (2C) receptor agonists Ro 60-0175 and WAY 163909.

This data set demonstrates that 5-HT (2A) receptor antagonist and 5-HT (2C) receptor agonists exhibited effects similar to antidepressant drugs and abolished the depression-like effects in nicotine-withdrawn rats.

BACKGROUND: The serotonergic system may be implicated in susceptibility to nicotine dependence as nicotine increases 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) release in brain and symptoms of nicotine withdrawal may be modulated by diminished serotonergic neurotransmission.
METHODS: 5-HTTLPR polymorphism of the 5-HT transporter gene and -759C/T (rs3813929) and -697G/C (rs518147) polymorphisms of the 5-HT (2C) receptor gene were analyzed in 172 smoking initiators and 254 non-initiators, using PCR-RFLP method.
