Nicotine 90-98 actin alpha 2, smooth muscle, aorta Mus musculus 163-172 28644870-9 2017 Furthermore, the mRNA expression of the pro-fibrogenic factors alpha-smooth muscle actin (alphaSMA), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), and collagen alpha1 (Col1) was enhanced in the high-concentration nicotine-treated group compared with the vehicle group after corneal injury. Nicotine 211-219 actin alpha 2, smooth muscle, aorta Mus musculus 63-88 28644870-9 2017 Furthermore, the mRNA expression of the pro-fibrogenic factors alpha-smooth muscle actin (alphaSMA), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), and collagen alpha1 (Col1) was enhanced in the high-concentration nicotine-treated group compared with the vehicle group after corneal injury. Nicotine 211-219 actin alpha 2, smooth muscle, aorta Mus musculus 90-98 28644870-10 2017 Immunohistochemical analysis also showed that the alphaSMA-positive area was increased in chronic nicotine-treated mice after corneal alkali burn. Nicotine 98-106 actin alpha 2, smooth muscle, aorta Mus musculus 50-58
