Furthermore, nicotinic activation of ERK-1/2 promotes survival of cultured murine spinal cord neurons, and the blocking of ERK-1 prevents nicotine’s antiapoptotic action (Toborek et al., 2007). Likewise, the alpha7-specific agonist A-582941 induces phosphorylation of ERK-1/2 in PC12 cells and in mouse brain, and this is completely blocked by the mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 inhibitor SL327 (Bitner et al., 2007).
