Nicotine 104-112 prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 Homo sapiens 13-29 12941074-4 2003 OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of nicotine on the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) mRNA gene and protein in cultured human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). Nicotine 75-83 prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 Homo sapiens 105-121 12941074-4 2003 OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of nicotine on the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) mRNA gene and protein in cultured human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). Nicotine 75-83 prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 Homo sapiens 123-128 12941074-5 2003 Furthermore, to elucidate whether induction of COX-2 may be associated with nicotine- induced cytotoxicity, NS-398 (a selective COX-2 inhibitor), was added to test its protective effect. Nicotine 76-84 prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 Homo sapiens 47-52 12941074-8 2003 RESULTS: The exposure of quiescent human HGFs to nicotine resulted in the induction of COX-2 mRNA expression. Nicotine 49-57 prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 Homo sapiens 87-92 12941074-9 2003 The levels of the COX-2 mRNAs increased about 1.5 and 2.5 fold after exposure to 2.5 and 15 mm nicotine for 2 h (P < 0.05), respectively. Nicotine 95-103 prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 Homo sapiens 18-23 12941074-10 2003 Moreover, the peak of COX-2 mRNA levels induced by nicotine was 10 mm at 2 h incubation period. Nicotine 51-59 prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 Homo sapiens 22-27 12941074-11 2003 Investigations of the time dependence of COX-2 mRNA expression in nicotine-treated HGFs revealed a rapid accumulation of the transcript, a signal first detectable at 30 min and diminished to control level after 8 h. In addition, 10 mm nicotine also induced COX-2 protein expression in HGFs. Nicotine 66-74 prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 Homo sapiens 41-46 12941074-11 2003 Investigations of the time dependence of COX-2 mRNA expression in nicotine-treated HGFs revealed a rapid accumulation of the transcript, a signal first detectable at 30 min and diminished to control level after 8 h. In addition, 10 mm nicotine also induced COX-2 protein expression in HGFs. Nicotine 66-74 prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 Homo sapiens 257-262 12941074-11 2003 Investigations of the time dependence of COX-2 mRNA expression in nicotine-treated HGFs revealed a rapid accumulation of the transcript, a signal first detectable at 30 min and diminished to control level after 8 h. In addition, 10 mm nicotine also induced COX-2 protein expression in HGFs. Nicotine 235-243 prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 Homo sapiens 41-46 12941074-11 2003 Investigations of the time dependence of COX-2 mRNA expression in nicotine-treated HGFs revealed a rapid accumulation of the transcript, a signal first detectable at 30 min and diminished to control level after 8 h. In addition, 10 mm nicotine also induced COX-2 protein expression in HGFs. Nicotine 235-243 prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 Homo sapiens 257-262 12941074-13 2003 CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, the activation of COX-2 expression by nicotine suggests a potential role for nicotine in the pathogenesis of smoking-associated periodontal disease. Nicotine 67-75 prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 Homo sapiens 47-52 12941074-13 2003 CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, the activation of COX-2 expression by nicotine suggests a potential role for nicotine in the pathogenesis of smoking-associated periodontal disease.
