Abstract
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) mediate fast synaptic transmission in muscles and autonomic ganglia and regulate cytokine and neurotransmitter release in the brain and non-excitable cells. The α7 nAChRs localized in the outer membrane of mitochondria regulate cytochrome c release stimulated by apoptosis-inducing agents. However, the mechanisms through which nAChRs influence mitochondrial permeability remain obscure. Here we put an aim to explore the interaction of nAChRs with voltage-dependent anion channels (VDAC1) and pro-apoptotic protein Bax in the course of apoptosis induction. By using molecular modeling in silico, it was shown that both Bax and VDAC1 can bind within the 4th transmembrane portion (M4) of nAChR subunits. Experimentally, α7 nAChR-Bax and α7 nAChR-VDAC1 complexes were identified by sandwich ELISA in mitochondria isolated from astrocytoma U373 cells. Stimulating apoptosis of U373 cells by H2O2 disrupted α7-VDAC complexes and favored formation of α7-Bax complexes accompanied by cytochrome c release from mitochondria. α7-selective agonist PNU282987 or type 2 positive allosteric modulator PNU120596 disrupted α7-Bax and returned α7 nAChR to complex with VDAC1 resulting in attenuation of cytochrome c release. It is concluded that mitochondrial nAChRs regulate apoptosis-induced mitochondrial channel formation by modulating the interplay of apoptosis-related proteins in mitochondria outer membrane.

Abstract
α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7 nAChRs) are involved in regulating inflammatory reactions, as well as the cell viability. They are expressed in both the plasma membrane and mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. Previously we found that neuroinflammation resulted in the decrease of α7 nAChR density in the brain of mice and was accompanied by accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides and memory impairment. In the present paper, it is shown that inflammation induced by either regular bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injections or immunizations with α7 nAChR extracellular domain (1-208) affected also the brain cell mitochondria. Using various modifications of sandwich ELISA, we observed the decrease of α7 nAChRs and accumulation of Aβ(1-40) and Aβ(1-42) in mitochondria of immunized or LPS-treated mice compared to control ones. Mitochondria of treated mice responded with cytochrome c release to lower Ca(2+) concentrations than mitochondria of control mice and were less sensitive to its attenuation with α7 nAChR agonist PNU282987. It is concluded that inflammation decreases α7 nAChR expression in both mitochondria and cell plasma membrane and makes mitochondria more susceptible to apoptosis induction.

Abstract
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) expressed in the brain are involved in regulating cognitive functions, as well as inflammatory reactions. Their density is decreased upon Alzheimer disease accompanied by accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ42), memory deficit and neuroinflammation. Previously we found that α7 nAChR-specific antibody induced pro-inflammatory interleukin-6 production in U373 glioblastoma cells and that such antibodies were present in the blood of humans. We raised a hypothesis that α7 nAChR-specific antibody can cause neuroinflammation when penetrating the brain. To test this, C57Bl/6 mice were either immunized with extracellular domain of α7 nAChR subunit α7(1-208) or injected with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 5 months. We studied their behavior and the presence of α3, α4, α7, β2 and β4 nAChR subunits, Aβ40 and Aβ42 and activated astrocytes in the brain by sandwich ELISA and confocal microscopy. It was found that either LPS injections or immunizations with α7(1-208) resulted in region-specific decrease of α7 and α4β2 and increase of α3β4 nAChRs, accumulation of Aβ42 and activated astrocytes in the brain of mice and worsening of their episodic memory. Intravenously transferred α7 nAChR-specific-antibodies penetrated the brain parenchyma of mice pre-injected with LPS. Our data demonstrate that (1) neuroinflammation is sufficient to provoke the decrease of α7 and α4β2 nAChRs, Aβ42 accumulation and memory impairment in mice and (2) α7(1-208) nAChR-specific antibodies can cause inflammation within the brain resulting in the symptoms typical for Alzheimer disease.

Abstract
α7 Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7 nAChRs) are involved in regulating inflammatory cytokine production in macrophages and astrocytes. In the present paper, it is shown that α7-specific agonists PNU282987 (130nM) or choline (1.6mM) attenuated the interleukin-6 (IL-6) production stimulated by bacterial lipopolysaccharide in monocyte-derived U937 and astrocyte-derived U373 cell lines. In contrast, α7(179-190)-specific antibody, which bound to and was internalized by U373 cells, stimulated IL-6 production in p38 kinase-dependent manner in the absence of lipopolysaccharide. The antibody effect was not due to its Fc-fragment because similar capacity was found for recombinant single-chain (scFv) α7(179-190)-specific antibody selected from the gene library of healthy human subject. The data obtained allow suggesting that α7-specific antibody can provoke neuroinflammation within the brain by inducing IL-6 production in astrocytes.

Abstract
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors control survival, proliferation and cytokine release in non-excitable cells. Previously we reported that α7 nicotinic receptors were present in the outer membranes of mouse liver mitochondria to regulate mitochondrial pore formation and cytochrome c release. Here we used a wide spectrum of nicotinic receptor subunit-specific antibodies to show that mitochondria express several nicotinic receptor subtypes in a tissue-specific manner: brain and liver mitochondria contain α7β2, α4β2 and less α3β2 nicotinic receptors, while mitochondria from the lung express preferentially α3β4 receptor subtype; all of them are non-covalently connected to voltage-dependent anion channels and control cytochrome c release. By using selective ligands of different nicotinic receptor subtypes (acetylcholine (1 μM) or dihydro-β-erythroidine (1 μM) for α4β2), conotoxin MII (1 nM) for α3β2, MLA (50 nM) for α7β2 and acetylcholine (10 μM) for all subtypes) and apoptogenic agents triggering different mitochondrial signaling pathways (1 μM wortmannin, 90 μM Ca(2+) or 0.5 mM H₂O₂) it was found that α7β2 receptors affect mainly PI₃K/Akt pathway, while α3β2 and α4β2 nAChRs also significantly influence CaKMII- and Src-dependent pathways. It is concluded that cholinergic regulation in mitochondria is realized through multiple nicotinic receptor subtypes, which control various pathways inducing mitochondrial type of apoptosis.

Abstract
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are ligand-gated ion channels found in the plasma membrane of both excitable and non-excitable cells. Previously we reported that nicotinic receptors containing α7 subunits were present in the outer membranes of mitochondria to regulate the early apoptotic events like cytochrome c release. Here we show that signaling of mitochondrial α7 nicotinic receptors affects intramitochondrial protein kinases. Agonist of α7 nicotinic receptors PNU 282987 (30 nM) prevented the effect of phosphatidyl inositol-3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin, which stimulated cytochrome c release in isolated mouse liver mitochondria, and restored the Akt (Ser 473) phosphorylation state decreased by either 90 μM Ca(2+) or wortmannin. The effect of PNU 282987 was similar to inhibition of calcium-calmodulin-dependent kinase II (upon 90 μM Ca(2+)) or of Src kinase(s) (upon 0.5mM H2O2) and of protein kinase C. Cytochrome c release from mitochondria could be also attenuated by α7 nicotinic receptor antagonist methyllicaconitine or α7-specific antibodies. Allosteric modulator PNU 120526 (1 μM) did not improve the effect of agonist PNU 282987. Acetylcholine (1 μM) and methyllicaconitine (10nM) inhibited superoxide release from mitochondria measured according to alkalization of Ca(2+)-containing medium. It is concluded that α7 nicotinic receptors regulate mitochondrial permeability transition pore formation through ion-independent mechanism involving activation of intramitochondrial PI3K/Akt pathway and inhibition of calcium-calmodulin-dependent or Src-kinase-dependent signaling pathways.

Abstract
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) of α4β2 and α7 subtypes expressed in the brain neurons are involved in regulating memory and cognition. Their level is decreased upon several neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease (AD), although the reasons for such a decrease are not completely understood. To test whether the nAChR-specific antibodies can affect the brain nAChRs and influence the behavior, we either immunized mice with recombinant extracellular domains of α4 and α7, subunits α4(1-209) and α7(1-208), or injected them with α7(1-208)-specific antibodies. A decrease of α4β2- and α7-nAChRs accompanied with an increase of α4β4-nAChRs in brain membranes of immunized mice was observed. Both α4(1-209)- and α7(1-208)-specific antibodies were detected in the brain membrane lysates of immunized mice. Antibody injection resulted in brain nAChR decrease only if mice were co-injected intraperitoneally with bacterial lipopolysaccharide. Brain sections of immunized mice were analyzed for the binding of [125I]-α-bungarotoxin and [125I]-epibatidine. A decrease in α-bungarotoxin binding in striatum (nucleus accumbens and caudate putamen) accompanied with an increase of epibatidine binding in the forebrain and caudate putamen was observed in mice immunized with either α4 or α7 nAChR domains compared to those immunized with BSA. Mice immunized with α7(1-208) demonstrated significantly worse episodic memory measured in a novel object recognition task compared to non-immunized animals but did not differ from the controls in locomotor or anxiety-related tests. These results suggest that nAChR-specific antibodies are able to penetrate the brain upon inflammation with resulting decreases of brain nAChRs and worsening episodic memory.

Abstract
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ligand-gated ion channels that mediate synaptic transmission in the muscle and autonomic ganglia and regulate transmitter release in the brain. The nAChRs composed of α7 subunits are also expressed in non-excitable cells to regulate cell survival and proliferation. Up to now, functional α7 nAChRs were found exclusively on the cell plasma membrane. Here we show that they are expressed in mitochondria and regulate early pro-apoptotic events like cytochrome c release. The binding of α7-specific antibody with mouse liver mitochondria was revealed by electron microscopy. Outer membranes of mitochondria from the wild-type and β2−/− but not α7−/− mice bound α7 nAChR-specific antibody and toxins: FITC-labeled α-cobratoxin or Alexa 555-labeled α-bungarotoxin. α7 nAChR agonists (1 µM acetylcholine, 10 µM choline or 30 nM PNU-282987) impaired intramitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation and significantly decreased cytochrome c release stimulated with either 90 µM CaCl2 or 0.5 mM H2O2. α7-specific antagonist methyllicaconitine (50 nM) did not affect Ca2+ accumulation in mitochondria but attenuated the effects of agonists on cytochrome c release. Inhibitor of voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) 4,4′-diisothio-cyano-2,2′-stilbene disulfonic acid (0.5 µM) decreased cytochrome c release stimulated with apoptogens similarly to α7 nAChR agonists, and VDAC was co-captured with the α7 nAChR from mitochondria outer membrane preparation in both direct and reverse sandwich ELISA. It is concluded that α7 nAChRs are expressed in mitochondria outer membrane to regulate the VDAC-mediated Ca2+ transport and mitochondrial permeability transition.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by a loss of α4β2 and α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the brain and severe memory impairments. Previously, we found that antibodies elicited against extracellular domain of α7 nAChR subunit decreased the number of α7 nAChRs in the brains of mice and impaired episodic memory. Here we show that antibodies capable to bind α7(1-208) are present in the blood of both healthy humans and AD patients. In healthy individuals, their capacity to compete with [(125)-I]-α-bungarotoxin for the binding to α7(1-208) increased with age. The level of such antibodies was significantly elevated in children with severe form of obstructive bronchitis and in mice injected with Lewis lung carcinoma cells expressing both α4β2 and α7 nAChRs. Elevated antibody levels were accompanied with decreased surface nAChRs on the blood lymphocytes of children and of mice immunized with α7(1-208). Among AD patients, the level of α7 nAChR-specific antibodies was significantly larger in people 62.5 ± 1.5 years old with moderate or severe AD stages (15.2 ± 1.3 MMSE scores) compared to those of 76 ± 1.5 years old with the mild (22.7 ± 0.1 MMSE scores) AD stage. We concluded that α7(1-208) nAChR-specific antibodies found in the human blood are formed as a result of common infections accompanied with the destruction of respiratory epithelium. Elevated blood plasma levels of α7(1-208) nAChR-specific antibodies are characteristic for the early-onset AD and, therefore, are suggested as one of the risk factors for the development of this form of the disease.
