Abstract
Changes in diazepam binding inhibitor (DBI) mRNA expression after withdrawal from nicotine were examined. Withdrawal from nicotine Increased DBI mRNA expression in cerebral cortices derived from nicotine-dependent mice and in the neurons continuously exposed to nicotine (0.1 μM). These results indicate that withdrawal from nicotine after its long-term exposure induces steep increase of DBI mRNA expression as reported previously in ethanol- and morphine-dependent animals.
