1 | Nicotine induces upregulated expression of beta defensin-2 via the p38MAPK pathway in the HaCaT human keratinocyte cell line. | Nicotine | defensin beta 4A | Homo sapiens |
2 | The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of nicotine on the expression pattern of hBD-2 in keratinocytes. | Nicotine | defensin beta 4A | Homo sapiens |
3 | qRT-PCR revealed that the expression level of hBD-2 mRNA was significantly higher at 30 and 80 muM nicotine than the control without nicotine (P < 0.05). | Nicotine | defensin beta 4A | Homo sapiens |
4 | qRT-PCR revealed that the expression level of hBD-2 mRNA was significantly higher at 30 and 80 muM nicotine than the control without nicotine (P < 0.05). | Nicotine | defensin beta 4A | Homo sapiens |
5 | The p38MAP kinase inhibitor abolished the upregulated expression of hBD-2 by nicotine. | Nicotine | defensin beta 4A | Homo sapiens |
6 | Both nAChR inhibitors also abolished the upregulation of hBD-2 by nicotine. | Nicotine | defensin beta 4A | Homo sapiens |
7 | The present study demonstrated that nicotine causes upregulated expression of hBD-2 via the p38MAP kinase pathway in keratinocytes. | Nicotine | defensin beta 4A | Homo sapiens |
