Models to assess the addictive-like properties of nicotine in mice are limited. Therefore, we aimed to characterize and validate an addiction index by using an oral nicotine free-choice paradigm in mice. Adult C57BL/6J, DBA/2J, or genetically modified mice carrying deletions for nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunits, (n = 8-10/sex/group) were given a choice of water or nicotine (10-960 mu g/ml) solution using a two-bottle free-choice (2BC) paradigm. In general, oral nicotine intake and preference were higher in female mice compared to males. Absence of nicotine led to withdrawal, and intermittent access resulted in an escalation in consumption and greater nicotine withdrawal than continuous exposure. Additionally, oral nicotine consumption increased nucleus accumbens tyrosine hydroxylase levels. While beta 2 and alpha 6 KO mice showed a significant decrease in nicotine intake, deletion of alpha 5 nAChRs increased nicotine consumption at high concentrations. Deletion of the alpha 7 subunit altered the observed sex difference in nicotine consumption, with females consuming less than males. The alpha 4 beta 2 partial agonist varenicline decreased oral nicotine consumption. Although addition of quinine to the nicotine solution lowered nicotine intake, mice primed with nicotine did not lower their intake after quinine addition. Nicotine deprivation followed by re-exposure showed increased nicotine consumption, and DBA/2J mice consumed less nicotine compared to C57BL/6J. We validated the mouse 2BC paradigm to study nicotine's addictive-like properties including nicotine intake, preference, withdrawal, and escalation of nicotine consumption during binge drinking or after reinstatement of a deprivation period.
