Core Tip	Genome-wide association studies revealed that allelic variation in the ?5-?3-?4 nicotine acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) cluster on chromosome 15q24-15q25.1 was associated with a higher risk for development of lung cancer. nAChRs are membrane ligand-gated cation channels whose activation is triggered by the binding of the endogenous neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) or other biologic compounds including nicotine. nAChRs have been found on lung cancer cells, underscoring the idea that the non-neuronal nAChR signaling pathway has considerable implications for lung cancer. Several studies involving the design of nAChR antagonists with improved selectivity might identify novel strategies for the treatment of lung cancer.
