act(a(CHEBI:nicotine)) increases p(HGNC:BCL2)
The neuroprotective effects of nicotine are blocked by inhibitors of either PI3K or SRC family kinases, and nicotine evokes an increase in levels of phosphorylated AKT, B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia/lymphoma (BCL2), and BCL-2-like protein (Shimohama and Kihara, 2001), which are further downstream in the PI3K/AKT pathway (Fig. 3).
