1 Indeed, nicotine caused oxygen free radical production as well as activation of Rho A and NF-kappaB pathways, evaluated by malondialdehyde levels, pulldown assay and by electrophoretic mobility shift assay, respectively. Nicotine nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 Homo sapiens
2 Superoxide dimutase, Rho A (Y-27639) and NF-kappaB inhibitors (pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate ammonium, Bay 11-7082) suppressed nicotine effects on CAM expression. Nicotine nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 Homo sapiens
3 HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors prevented these nicotine-mediated effects by inhibiting free radical generation and by modulating activation of Rho A and NF-kappaB pathways. Nicotine nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 Homo sapiens
