1 It is reported that nicotine induces prostaglandinE2 (PGE(2)) production in PBMC through the up-regulation of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression. Nicotine mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II Homo sapiens
2 Consistent with this, we found that COX-2 and PKA inhibitors prevented the effects of nicotine on adhesion molecule expression and cytokine production, indicating that the mechanism of action of nicotine may be via endogenous PGE(2) production. Nicotine mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II Homo sapiens
