19542466 Huston JM, Rosas-Ballina M, Xue X, Dowling O, Ochani K, Ochani M, Yeboah MM, Chatterjee PK, Tracey KJ, Metz CN: Cholinergic neural signals to the spleen down-regulate leukocyte trafficking via CD11b. J Immunol. 2009 Jul 1;183(1):552-9.

Administration of nicotine, a pharmacologic agonist of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, significantly reduces levels of CD11b, a beta (2)-integrin involved in cell adhesion and leukocyte chemotaxis, on the surface of neutrophils in a dose-dependent manner and this function requires the spleen.

In the CNS, nicotine exposure selectively reduces numbers of CD11c (+) dendritic and CD11b (+) infiltrating monocytes and resident microglial cells and down-regulates the expression of MHC class II, CD80, and CD86 molecules on these cells.

Accordingly, CD4 (+) and CD11b (+) cells infiltration into the CNS, demyelination, and axonal loss were reduced.
