Nicotine [3-(1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)-pyridine], a major alkaloid in tobacco, has been implicated as playing a role in carcinogenesis. Our previous study showed that passive cigarette smoking promoted inflammation-associated colonic adenoma formation in mice, and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) plays an important role in this process. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether nicotine could stimulate colon cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth in nude mice xenograft model and the…

Investigation of the signaling pathways by which nicotine potentiates tumorigenesis in human mammary epithelial-like MCF10A or cancerous MCF7 cells suggests that nicotine, through interacting with its receptor, initiates a signaling cascade that involves PKC and cdc42 and consequently promotes migration in mammaries epithelial or tumor cells.

Results indicate that inhibition of COX-2 may lead to a shunt of arachidonic acid metabolism towards the leukotriene pathway during colonic tumorigenesis promoted by CSE, and blocker of both COx-2 and 5-LOX may present a superior anticancer profile in cigarette smokers.

Results indicate that nicotine promotes proliferation of human NPC cells in vitro through simultaneous modulation of α7AChR, Hif-1α, ERK and VEGF/PEDF signaling and suggest that the related molecules such as HIF-1 α might be the potential therapeutic targets for tobacco-associated diseases such as nasopharyngeal carcinomas.

Evidence is provided that nicotine activates the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase signalling pathway in lung cancer cells, specifically extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK2), resulting in increased expression of the bcl-2 protein and inhibition of apoptosis in these cells, and suggests caution in the use of smokeless tobacco products to treat smoking addiction.
