1 Nicotine-induced upregulation of VCAM-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 through the alpha7-nAChR-JNK pathway in RAW264.7 and MOVAS cells. Nicotine mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 Mus musculus
2 When cells were pretreated with either SP600125 (JNK inhibitor) or PNU-282987 (alpha7-nAChR agonist) prior to nicotine exposure, the nicotine-induced upregulation of VCAM-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, and p-JNK was suppressed, with a joint treatment producing a more significant inhibitory effect. Nicotine mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 Mus musculus
3 When cells were pretreated with either SP600125 (JNK inhibitor) or PNU-282987 (alpha7-nAChR agonist) prior to nicotine exposure, the nicotine-induced upregulation of VCAM-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, and p-JNK was suppressed, with a joint treatment producing a more significant inhibitory effect. Nicotine mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 Mus musculus
4 When cells were pretreated with either SP600125 (JNK inhibitor) or PNU-282987 (alpha7-nAChR agonist) prior to nicotine exposure, the nicotine-induced upregulation of VCAM-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, and p-JNK was suppressed, with a joint treatment producing a more significant inhibitory effect. Nicotine mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 Mus musculus
5 Furthermore, the nicotine exposure equivalent to plasma levels found in regular smokers can augment VCAM-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 expressions through the alpha7-nAChR-JNK pathway. Nicotine mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 Mus musculus
