1 Nicotine inhibits the release of TNF-alpha from macrophage through activation of STAT3. Nicotine tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
2 Nicotine induced activation of STAT3 enhanced STAT3 binding to the TTP promoter, increased TTP promoter activity, and increased TTP expression resulting in the suppression of LPS-stimulated TNF-alpha production. Nicotine tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
3 Overexpression of a dominant negative mutant of STAT3 (R382W) or down-regulation of STAT3 by siRNA abolished nicotine-induced TTP expression and suppression of LPS-stimulated TNF-alpha production. Nicotine tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
4 Nicotine enhanced the decay of TNF-alpha mRNA and decreased luciferase expression of a TNF-alpha 3"-UTR reporter plasmid in U937 cells. Nicotine tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
5 Nicotine enhanced the decay of TNF-alpha mRNA and decreased luciferase expression of a TNF-alpha 3"-UTR reporter plasmid in U937 cells. Nicotine tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
