We have previously reported that beta-adrenergic receptors (beta-ARs) stimulate the proliferation and migration of human PDAC cells in vitro by cAMP-dependent signaling and that the nicotine-derived nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) activates this pathway directly in vitro while additionally stimulating the release of noradrenaline/adrenaline by binding to alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (alpha7 nAChR) in hamsters.

Int J Neuropsychopharmacol. 2010 Mar;13(2):207-15. Epub 2010 Jan 5.

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are involved in nicotine-induced phosphorylation of CREB (cyclic AMP response element-binding protein) in PC12h cells.

Previous studies have implicated nucleus accumbens (NAc) CREB activity in the modulation of cocaine and morphine reward, and have shown that nicotine conditioned place preference (CPP) is associated with NAc CREB activation.

METHODS: D (1) (-/-) and wild-type (D (1) (+/+) ) mice pretreated with amphetamine (1 mg/kg, 3-7 days) or various doses of nicotine (chronically but intermittently) were challenged with amphetamine (0.7 and/or 1 mg/kg) after short and long abstinence periods.
Expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and phosphorylated c-AMP response element binding protein (p-CREB) genes were measured under basal conditions and after acute or repeated amphetamine treatments.

The present study examined activation of ERK1/2 and explored pathways leading to CREB phosphorylation utilizing alpha7 nAChR-selective ligands in PC12 cells endogenously expressing alpha7 nAChRs.
Robust concentration-dependent increase in ERK1/2 phosphorylation was triggered by structurally diverse alpha7 nAChR agonists such as nicotine, choline, GTS-21, SSR-180711A and PNU-282987 in the presence of the positive allosteric modulator (PAM) PNU-120596.

Substrates of this kinase include the vesicle-associated protein synapsin I and the transcription factor cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB).

The nicotine-derived nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) is a potent mutagen and the most powerful tobacco carcinogen.
In contrast, protein expression of the alpha (7) nAChR, alpha (4) nAChR as well as p-CREB and p-ERK1/2 were up-regulated.
