Nicotine 50-58 thymoma viral proto-oncogene 1 Mus musculus 94-97 31612866-9 2019 Moreover, there is a direct interaction between STAT3 and nAChRalpha1 that modulates STAT3 nuclear translocation and its binding to the Akt promoter region upon nicotine exposure. Nicotine 161-169 thymoma viral proto-oncogene 1 Mus musculus 136-139 31612866-10 2019 Taken together, STAT3 and nAChRalpha1 blockade attenuates nicotine-induced atherosclerosis by reducing the migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and inflammation in macrophages via the Akt/mTOR pathway. Nicotine 58-66 thymoma viral proto-oncogene 1 Mus musculus 207-210
