Prolonged treatment of rodents and monkeys with nicotine downregulates the expression of alpha6beta3-containing nAChRs in the brain (257, 311, 332). However, in heterologous culture systems, nicotine appears to upregulate the expression of receptors assembled from alpha4/alpha6/beta2/beta3 input cDNA (363), and this may depend on numerous factors including ligand concentrations (483).
