1 Treatment of primary cultures of BEC with nicotine increased levels of nAChR subunits and that increase was potentiated by lynx1 knockdown. Nicotine Ly6/neurotoxin 1 Homo sapiens
2 Lynx1 knockdown also potentiated the nicotine-induced increase in GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A)R) and MUC5AC mRNA expression, and that effect was blocked by alpha7 antagonists and alpha7 knockdown. Nicotine Ly6/neurotoxin 1 Homo sapiens
3 Consistent with this, inhibition of Src signaling blocked the ability of the lynx1 knockdown to increase basal and nicotine-stimulated GABA(A)R and mucin mRNA expression. Nicotine Ly6/neurotoxin 1 Homo sapiens
