1 FOXM1 upregulation is an early event in human squamous cell carcinoma and it is enhanced by nicotine during malignant transformation. Nicotine forkhead box M1 Homo sapiens
2 Screening putative carcinogens in human oral keratinocytes surprisingly showed that nicotine, which is not perceived to be a human carcinogen, directly induced FOXM1 mRNA, protein stabilisation and transcriptional activity at concentrations relevant to tobacco chewers. Nicotine forkhead box M1 Homo sapiens
3 Importantly, nicotine also augmented FOXM1-induced transformation of human oral keratinocytes. Nicotine forkhead box M1 Homo sapiens
