Arecoline inhibits epithelial cell viability by upregulating the apoptosis pathway: Implication for oral submucous fibrosis
14 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of excess collagen, and areca nut chewing has been proposed as a significant etiological factor for disease manifestation. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms regarding areca nut chewing-induced OSF are only partially understood. Herein, we reported that arecoline markedly induced morphologic change in HaCaT...
