Nicotine 41-49 mitogen activated protein kinase 3 Rattus norvegicus 0-7 16888810-2 2007 To study these mechanisms, the present study focused on nicotine-mediated modulation of the extracellular regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) pathway in cultured spinal cord neurons. Nicotine 56-64 mitogen activated protein kinase 3 Rattus norvegicus 132-138 16888810-3 2007 Exposure to nicotine (0.1-10 microM) for as short as 1 min markedly upregulated levels of phosphorylated ERK1/2 (pERK1/2) and increased total ERK1/2 activity. Nicotine 12-20 mitogen activated protein kinase 3 Rattus norvegicus 105-111 16888810-3 2007 Exposure to nicotine (0.1-10 microM) for as short as 1 min markedly upregulated levels of phosphorylated ERK1/2 (pERK1/2) and increased total ERK1/2 activity. Nicotine 12-20 mitogen activated protein kinase 3 Rattus norvegicus 114-120 16888810-5 2007 In addition, pre-exposure to U0126, a specific inhibitor of the ERK1/2 signaling, prevented nicotine-mediated anti-apoptotic effects. Nicotine 92-100 mitogen activated protein kinase 3 Rattus norvegicus 64-70 16888810-6 2007 To indicate if treatment with nicotine also can activate ERK1/2 in vivo, a moderate spinal cord injury (SCI) was induced in rats using a weight-drop device and nicotine was injected 2 h post-trauma. Nicotine 30-38 mitogen activated protein kinase 3 Rattus norvegicus 57-63 16888810-8 2007 Results of the present study indicate that the ERK1/2 pathway is involved in anti-apoptotic effects of nicotine in spinal cord neurons and may be involved in therapeutic effects of nicotine in spinal cord trauma. Nicotine 103-111 mitogen activated protein kinase 3 Rattus norvegicus 47-53 16888810-8 2007 Results of the present study indicate that the ERK1/2 pathway is involved in anti-apoptotic effects of nicotine in spinal cord neurons and may be involved in therapeutic effects of nicotine in spinal cord trauma.
