| 1 | We previously reported that nicotine promoted gastric cancer cell growth via upregulation of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2). | Nicotine | prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | We previously reported that nicotine promoted gastric cancer cell growth via upregulation of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2). | Nicotine | prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | Inhibition of PKC by staurosporine attenuated nicotine-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation and COX-2 expression. | Nicotine | prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | Furthermore, atenolol and ICI 118,551, a beta1- and beta2-adrenoceptor antagonist, respectively, reversed the stimulatory action of nicotine on the expression of PKC, ERK1/2 phosphorylation, and COX-2 together with cell proliferation. | Nicotine | prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 | Homo sapiens |
| 5 | Collectively, these results suggest that nicotine stimulates gastric cancer cell growth through the activation of beta-adrenoceptors and the downstream PKC-betaI/ERK1/2/COX-2 pathway. | Nicotine | prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 | Homo sapiens |
