Application of nicotine to rat microglia results in the up-regulated expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and prostaglandin E2 (De Simone et al., 2005). Signaling pathways downstream to the MAPK pathway are similarly well placed to effect changes in gene expression. For example, alpha7-dependent activation of the MAPK pathway is known to activate c-Myc (Liu et al., 2007), a protooncogene whose transcription product sensitizes cells to pro-apoptotic stimuli.
