20020508 Baroni T, Bellucci C, Lilli C, Pezzetti F, Carinci F, Lumare E, Palmieri A, Stabellini G, Bodo M: Human cleft lip and palate fibroblasts and normal nicotine-treated fibroblasts show altered in vitro expressions of genes related to molecular signaling pathways and extracellular matrix metabolism. J Cell Physiol. 2010 Mar;222(3):748-56.

Among the ECM genes, fibronectin, syndecan, integrin alpha2, and MMP13 genes were concordantly modulated, while integrin beta5, and decorin genes were discordantly modulated.

Administration of nicotine, a pharmacologic agonist of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, significantly reduces levels of CD11b, a beta (2)-integrin involved in cell adhesion and leukocyte chemotaxis, on the surface of neutrophils in a dose-dependent manner and this function requires the spleen.

In endothelial cells, alpha7 AChR stimulation indirectly triggers the activation of the integrin alphavbeta3 receptor and an intracellular MAP kinase (ERK) pathway that mediates angiogenesis.
Non-selective cholinergic agonists such as nicotine have been shown to induce angiogenesis, enhancing tumor progression.
