Arecoline suppresses epithelial cell viability by upregulating tropomyosin-1 through the transforming growth factor-β/Smad pathway
1 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic and progressive disease. Arecoline, present in betel nuts, has been proposed as a vital aetiological factor. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. OBJECTIVES: This research elucidates the expression of tropomyosin-1 (TPM1) and its regulation mechanism in HaCaT cells treated with arecoline. MATERIALS AND METHODS: HaCaT cells were assigned into three...
