act(a(CHEBI:nicotine)) increases p(RGD:Stat3, pmod(Ph))
Shortterm nicotine application also induces phosphorylation of p44/42MAPK, p38MAPK, and STAT-3 and was mediated mostly by alpha7 nAChRs in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (Wada et al., 2007). It is noteworthy that the JAK-2/STAT-3 pathway also mediates the mitogenic effects of insulin, a process recently implicated in AD (Li and Ho¨lscher, 2007).
