Human nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) subtypes alpha 3beta 2, alpha 3beta 2alpha 5, alpha 3beta 4, and alpha 3beta 4alpha 5 were stably expressed in cells derived from the human embryonic kidney cell line 293. alpha 3beta 4 AChRs were found in prominent 2-µm patches on the cell surface, whereas most alpha 3beta 2 AChRs were more diffusely distributed. The functional properties of the alpha 3 AChRs in tsA201 cells were characterized by whole cell patch clamp using both acetylcholine and nicotine as agonists. Nicotine was a partial agonist on alpha 3beta 4 AChRs and nearly a full agonist on alpha 3beta 2alpha 5 AChRs. Chronic exposure of cells expressing alpha 3beta 2 AChRs or alpha 3beta 2alpha 5 AChRs to nicotine or carbamylcholine increased their amount up to 24-fold but had no effect on the amount of alpha 3beta 4 or alpha 3beta 4alpha 5 AChRs, i.e. the up-regulation of alpha 3 AChRs depended on the presence of beta 2 but not beta 4 subunits in the AChRs. This was also found to be true of alpha 3 AChRs in the human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y. In the absence of nicotine, alpha 3beta 2 AChRs were expressed at much lower levels than alpha 3beta 4 AChRs, but in the presence of nicotine, the amount of alpha 3beta 2 AChRs exceeded that of alpha 3beta 4 AChRs. Up-regulation was seen for both total AChRs and surface AChRs. Up-regulated alpha 3beta 2 AChRs were functional. The nicotinic antagonists curare and dihydro-beta -erythroidine also up-regulated alpha 3beta 2 AChRs, but only by 3-5-fold. The channel blocker mecamylamine did not cause up-regulation of alpha 3beta 2 AChRs and inhibited up-regulation by nicotine. Our data suggest that up-regulation of alpha 3beta 2 AChRs in these lines by nicotine results from both increased subunit assembly and decreased AChR turnover.
