Nicotine 123-131 aggrecan Rattus norvegicus 323-327 34245815-7 2021 In vitro, the nicotine treatment at different concentrations elevated the expression of Snail/HDAC1/2 while decreasing the H3K9/H3K14 levels in the ACAN and Col2A1 promoter regions. Nicotine 14-22 aggrecan Rattus norvegicus 148-152 34245815-8 2021 Snail-siRNA transfection partially abolished the nicotine-induced increase in HDAC1/2 expression and decreased the histone acetylation levels in the ACAN and Col2A1 promoter regions. Nicotine 49-57 aggrecan Rattus norvegicus 149-153
