Salbutamol (Albuterol) is a short-acting beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist with oral activity. Salbutamol promotes tumorigenesis of gastric cancer cells through the β2-AR/ERK/EMT pathway. Salbutamol is used to study bronchospasms caused by asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)[1][2].
Salbutamol (16 μM, 24 h) significantly induces EMT, migration and invasion by ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) phosphorylation in gastric cancer cells[1].
Salbutamol (5 mg/kg/day, orally, for 2 consecutive weeks) can increase tumor growth in nude mice with gastric cance[1].
Salbutamol (6 mg/kg orally for 4 weeks) has a significant protective effect against STZ (HY-13753)-induced skeletal muscle atrophy in diabetic rats[2].
