19654299 Sun X, Ritzenthaler JD, Zhong X, Zheng Y, Roman J, Han S: Nicotine stimulates PPARbeta/delta expression in human lung carcinoma cells through activation of PI3K/mTOR and suppression of AP-2alpha. Cancer Res. 2009 Aug 15;69(16):6445-53. Epub 2009 Aug 4.

Of note, nicotine induced complex formation between alpha7 nAChR and PPARbeta/delta protein and increased PPARbeta/delta gene promoter activity through inhibition of AP-2alpha as shown by reduced AP-2alpha binding using electrophoretic gel mobility shift and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays.
