Induction of endothelial cell proliferation by recombinant and microparticle-tissue factor involves β1-integrin and extracellular signal regulated kinase activation [PDF]
Objective: Increased levels of circulating tissue factor (TF) in the form of microparticles increase the risk of thrombosis. However, any direct influence of microparticle-associated TF on vascular endothelial cell proliferation is not known.

Inhibitors of c-Jun N-terminal kinases—JuNK no more?
The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) have been the subject of intense interest since their discovery in the early 1990s. Major research programs have been directed to the screening and/or design of JNK-selective inhibitors and testing their potential as drugs.

Analysis of the Interaction between c-Jun and c-Jun N-terminal Kinase in Vivo [PDF]
Regulation of c-Jun transcriptional activity is believed to depend on a physical interaction with c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) that facilitates signal-regulated phosphorylation of multiple regulatory phosphoacceptor sites within the activation domain. Here we have investigated the structural requirements and consequences of regulatory phosphorylation ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Specific inhibition of c-Jun N-terminal kinase delays preterm labour and reduces mortality [PDF]
Preterm labour (PTL) is commonly associated with infection and/or inflammation. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from different bacteria can be used to independently or mutually activate Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/AP1- or NF-kB-driven inflammatory pathways that

Differential requirement for c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 in lung inflammation and host defense. [PDF]
The c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) - 1 pathway has been implicated in the cellular response to stress in many tissues and models. JNK1 is known to play a role in a variety of signaling cascades, including those involved in lung disease pathogenesis ...

C-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway activation is essential for dental papilla cells polarization.
During tooth development, dental papilla cells differentiate into odontoblasts with polarized morphology and cell function. Our previous study indicated that the C-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway regulates human dental papilla cell adhesion ...

Activation of kinase phosphorylation by heat-shift and mild heat-shock [PDF]
Most cells activate intracellular signalling to recover from heat damage. An increase of temperature, known as HS (heat shock), induces two major signalling events: the transcriptional induction of HSPs (heat-shock proteins) and the activation of the ...
