1 The effects of nicotine were abolished by the selective alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) blocker, methyllycaconitine . Nicotine cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha polypeptide 7 Mus musculus
2 In addition, nicotine significantly enhanced PI3K/Akt and inhibited NF-kappaB translocation from the cytosol to the nucleus in an alpha7-nAChR-dependent manner, suggesting that nicotine acts on alpha7-nAChRs to inhibit MMP-9 production by macrophages through modulation of the PI3K/Akt-NF-kappaB pathway. Nicotine cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha polypeptide 7 Mus musculus
