1 Nicotine stimulated bone marrow-derived dendritic cells could augment HBV specific CTL priming by activating PI3K-Akt pathway. Nicotine thymoma viral proto-oncogene 1 Mus musculus
2 The results showed that: first, the maximal activation of PI3K and Akt was reached at 30 and 60-120 min respectively after nicotine stimulation. Nicotine thymoma viral proto-oncogene 1 Mus musculus
3 Nicotine up-regulated the expression of alpha7 nAChR by activating PI3K-Akt pathway in murine DCs; secondly, nicotine stimulation could enhance DCs" ability of HBV-specific T cell proliferation and IL-12 secretion; thirdly, adoptive transfer of nicotine stimulated DCs could induce HBV specific CTL priming in vivo and those CTL had cytolytic activities; fourthly, nicotine had equal efficiencies to 2 ng/ml IFN-gamma in DCs-mediated T cell proliferation. Nicotine thymoma viral proto-oncogene 1 Mus musculus
