Abstract

Nicotine [(S)-3-(1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)pyridine] is a major component of tobacco and a highly efficient acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist that triggers the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. We demonstrate that pre-treatment of monocytes with the stable nicotine catabolite, cotinine [(S)-1-methyl-5-(3-pyridinyl)-2-pyrrolidinone], dramatically alters the nature of the inflammatory response to Gram negative bacteria by abrogating the production of cytokines that are under the transcriptional control of the NF-kappaB system (TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-12/IL-23 p40) and shifting the response towards an IL-10-dominated anti-inflammatory profile. This anti-inflammatory phenomenon is initiated specifically by engagement of the monocytic alpha7 nAChR; and is PI3K/GSK-3beta-dependent; but NF-kappaB-independent. These mechanistic insights suggest an ability to exploit convergent, endogenous anti-inflammatory pathway(s) to either up-regulate or down-regulate the production of specific cytokine groups (pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokines) depending on the clinical necessity.

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here
