Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor α7 Subunit Mediates Migration of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Toward Nicotine
GbaSM-4 cells, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) derived from brain basilar arteries, were shown to migrate toward d-nicotine by augmenting the actin cytoskeleton in their cell bodies and lamellipodia, and expression of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR) was detected in GbaSM-4 cells.
