53. Schuller, H. M., Tithof, P. K., Williams, M. & Plummer, H. The tobacco-specific carcinogen 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone is a β-adrenergic agonist and stimulates DNA synthesis in lung adenocarcinoma via β-adrenergic receptor-mediated release of arachidonic acid. Cancer Res. 59, 4510-4515 (1999). In vitro experiments that identify, for the first time, the tobacco nitrosamine NNK as an agonist for β-adrenergic receptors. This study also shows that binding of NNK to β-adrenergic receptors in human lung cancer cells causes the release of arachidonic acid, resulting in stimulation of DNA synthesis.

In vitro studies describe, for the first time, that the growth of human pancreatic cancer cells is regulated by β-adrenergic receptors by the release of arachidonic acid and that NNK activates this pathway.

The authors conclude that retention of NNAL in lungs of smokers and smokeless-tobacco users is best explained by the presence of β-adrenergic receptors.

Evidence that noradrenaline binds to β-adrenergic receptors to induce the migration of colon cancer cells. These findings provide strong support for our theory that, in addition to adenocarcinomas in the lungs and pancreas, adenocarcinomas in the colon might benefit from therapy and prevention with β-blockers or inhibitors of AA-metabolizing enzymes.
