Nicotine 0-8 defensin beta 4A Homo sapiens 43-58 21267696-3 2010 The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of nicotine on the expression pattern of hBD-2 in keratinocytes. Nicotine 66-74 defensin beta 4A Homo sapiens 104-109 21267696-7 2010 qRT-PCR revealed that the expression level of hBD-2 mRNA was significantly higher at 30 and 80 muM nicotine than the control without nicotine (P < 0.05). Nicotine 99-107 defensin beta 4A Homo sapiens 46-51 21267696-7 2010 qRT-PCR revealed that the expression level of hBD-2 mRNA was significantly higher at 30 and 80 muM nicotine than the control without nicotine (P < 0.05). Nicotine 133-141 defensin beta 4A Homo sapiens 46-51 21267696-9 2010 The p38MAP kinase inhibitor abolished the upregulated expression of hBD-2 by nicotine. Nicotine 77-85 defensin beta 4A Homo sapiens 68-73 21267696-10 2010 Both nAChR inhibitors also abolished the upregulation of hBD-2 by nicotine. Nicotine 66-74 defensin beta 4A Homo sapiens 57-62 21267696-11 2010 The present study demonstrated that nicotine causes upregulated expression of hBD-2 via the p38MAP kinase pathway in keratinocytes. Nicotine 36-44 defensin beta 4A Homo sapiens 78-83
