20074615 Ohyama K, Sogawa C, Sogawa N, Morita K, Dohi T, Kitayama S: Nicotine stimulates transcriptional activity of the human dopamine transporter gene. Neurosci Lett. 2010 Feb 26;471(1):34-7. Epub 2010 Jan 13.

Nicotine modulates dopaminergic activity in the central nervous system by acting on the reuptake system, including the dopamine transporter (DAT), although precisely remains unclear.

Nicotine pre-treatment attenuated behavioral deficits and lessened lesion-induced losses of the striatal dopamine transporter, and alpha6beta2* and alpha4beta2* nicotinic receptors (nAChRs).

Addict Biol. 2009 Sep;14(4):489-99.

Recent evidence suggests that heterogeneity in the age at onset could explain the inconsistent findings of association studies relating the dopamine transporter (DAT1) gene with alcohol and nicotine consumption.

DRD2, SLC6A3, and NR4A2 SNPs with adjusted P-values <0.10 were considered sufficiently noteworthy to justify further genetic, bioinformatic, and literature analyses.

Previous research shows that nicotine increases dopamine (DA) clearance in rat prefrontal cortex (PFC) and striatum via a nicotinic receptor (nAChR)-mediated mechanism.

We found three candidate genes associated with both BD and TUD (COMT, SLC6A3, and SLC6A4) and commonality analysis suggests that these genes interact in predisposing psychiatric and substance use disorders.
Therefore, we hypothesized a common underlying genetic etiology, interacting with nicotine exposure, influencing susceptibility to both BD and TUD.

In adolescents, PTE predicted increased attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, modulation of the cerebral cortex and white matter structure, and nicotine addiction.
Several studies found moderating effects with PTE and genetic susceptibilities including dopamine transporter, serotonergic synaptic function, and monomine oxidase pathways.

Dimensional endophenotypes of nicotine addiction have been characterized by Hungarian adaptations of the Hooked on Nicotine Checklist and the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence.
Exon of the DRD4 (DRD4 VNTR), two promoter SNPs of this gene (-521 CT and -616CG), as well as the repeat polymorphism of the dopamine transporter (DAT VNTR) polymorphism and the Val/Met polymorphism of the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene.

Sustained calcium entry and calpain activation could favor the activation of Ca (2+)-dependent enzymes such as protein kinase C and nitric oxide synthase, which are involved in the generation of ROS and the blockade of the dopamine transporter.
It also concentration-dependently inhibited the response induced by ACh, nicotine, and the specific alpha7 agonist PNU 282987 with IC (50) values in the low micromolar range.

In contrast, repeated administration of modafinil resulted in the expression, but not induction, of LS. d-amphetamine, but not the mu-opioid agonist morphine or the nAChR agonist nicotine, fully substituted for the cocaine DS in rats.
