Nicotine 22-30 baculoviral IAP repeat-containing 5 Mus musculus 66-74 18635526-4 2008 We investigated the effects of the tobacco components nicotine and its related carcinogen 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) on survivin expression in normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells and examined the role of survivin in the malignant transformation of normal human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells induced by these components. Nicotine 54-62 baculoviral IAP repeat-containing 5 Mus musculus 146-154 18635526-6 2008 Nicotine and NNK increased survivin mRNA and protein expression levels in primary cultured NHBE cells and immortalized HBE cells. Nicotine 0-8 baculoviral IAP repeat-containing 5 Mus musculus 27-35 18635526-8 2008 Nicotine and NNK stimulated the Akt-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway in NHBE cells, leading to increased de novo synthesis of survivin protein. Nicotine 0-8 baculoviral IAP repeat-containing 5 Mus musculus 138-146 18635526-11 2008 These findings suggest that NNK and nicotine induce survivin protein synthesis in NHBE cells by activating the Akt-mTOR pathway and thus blockade of the pathway effectively inhibits the tobacco-induced malignant transformation of HBE cells. Nicotine 36-44 baculoviral IAP repeat-containing 5 Mus musculus 52-60
