19729077 Jeong GS, Lee SH, Jeong SN, Kim YC, Kim EC: Anti-inflammatory effects of apigenin on nicotine- and lipopolysaccharide-stimulated human periodontal ligament cells via heme oxygenase-1. Int Immunopharmacol. 2009 Nov;9(12):1374-80. Epub 2009 Sep 1.

Treatment with inhibitors of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase, MAPKs, p38, and JNK, as well as a protein kinase C inhibitor, blocked the anti-inflammatory effects of apigenin in nicotine- and LPS-treated cells.

We examined nicotine-induced VCAM-1 expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells pretreated with ghrelin and detected the activity of protein kinase C (PKC), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), and nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB.

Sustained calcium entry and calpain activation could favor the activation of Ca (2+)-dependent enzymes such as protein kinase C and nitric oxide synthase, which are involved in the generation of ROS and the blockade of the dopamine transporter.
It also concentration-dependently inhibited the response induced by ACh, nicotine, and the specific alpha7 agonist PNU 282987 with IC (50) values in the low micromolar range.

The maximal [Ca (2+)](i) response induced by carbamylcholine was larger than that of oxotremorine M or that of nicotine, suggesting that carbamylcholine enhanced the [Ca (2+)](i) response by stimulating two types of receptor.
