Abeta peptides and nicotine differentially activate several intracellular signaling pathways, including the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog pathway, the extracellular signal-regulated kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase, and JAK-2/STAT-3 pathways.

In this study, we investigated the effects of inhibiting the alpha7 nAChR-JAK2 pro-survival cascade on the nicotine-induced production of the survival factor Bcl-2 and the transcriptional activation of NF-kappaB, AP-1, STAT1, STAT3, and STAT5.

Treatment of macrovascular human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and microvascular endothelial cells (MVECs) with the cholinergic agonists nicotine and GTS-21 significantly reduced IL-6-mediated monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) production and ICAM-1 expression which are regulated through the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Biochem Pharmacol. 2009 Oct 1;78(7):863-72. Epub 2009 Jul 1.

We determined the anti-inflammatory potential of GTS-21, an alpha7nAChR-selective partial agonist, on primary human leukocytes and compared it with nicotine, the nAChR agonist widely used for research into the anti-inflammatory effects of alpha7nAChR stimulation.
GTS-21 downregulated monocyte cell-surface expression of TLR2, TLR4 and CD14. qPCR analysis demonstrated that the anti-inflammatory effect of GTS-21 is mediated at the transcriptional level and involves JAK2-STAT3 activation.
