We also found that ghrelin inhibited nicotine-induced PKC, p38 MAPK, and NF-kappaB activation.

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.

METHODS: Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-soluble (lipid-soluble) cigarette smoking particles (DSP) were extracted from cigarette smoke (0.8 mg nicotine per cigarette; Marlboro).
In addition, the activity of three mitogen-activated protein kinases (p38, ERK 1/2 and SAPK/JNK) and their downstream transcription factors (ATF-2, Elk-1 and c-Jun) were examined.

20211606 Gubbins EJ, Gopalakrishnan M, Li J: alpha7 nAChR-mediated activation of MAP kinase pathways in PC12 cells. Brain Res. 2010 Mar 6.

Robust concentration-dependent increase in ERK1/2 phosphorylation was triggered by structurally diverse alpha7 nAChR agonists such as nicotine, choline, GTS-21, SSR-180711A and PNU-282987 in the presence of the positive allosteric modulator (PAM) PNU-120596.
ERK1/2 phosphorylation was also attenuated by inhibitors of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), p38 MAP kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase1/2 (MEK1/2), indicating the involvement of these kinases upstream of ERK1/2.

We and others have shown previously that nicotine, a major component of tobacco, stimulates non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) proliferation through nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR)-mediated signals.
The inhibitory effect of rosiglitazone on alpha4 nAChR expression was accompanied by phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 and down-regulation of Akt phosphorylation.

In addition, treatment with nicotine could induce COX-2, PGE (2), and IL-6 generation in in vivo and in vitro studies.
Moreover, CSE-regulated COX-2, PGE (2), and IL-6 generation was inhibited by pretreatment with TLR4 Ab; inhibitors of c-Src (PP1), NADPH oxidase (diphenylene iodonium chloride and apocynin), p38 MAPK (SB202190), MEK1/2 (U0126), JNK1/2 (SP600125), and NF-kappaB (helenalin); a ROS scavenger (N-acetyl-l-cysteine); and transfection with siRNA of TLR4, MyD88, TRAF6, Src, p47 (phox), p38, p42, JNK2, or p65.
