The hepatitis B virus X protein activates nuclear factor of activated T cells (NF-AT) by a cyclosporin A-sensitive pathway. [PDF]

, 1998
The X gene product of the human hepatitis B virus (HBx) is a transcriptional activator of various viral and cellular genes. We recently have determined that the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) by HBV-infected hepatocytes is ...

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Morphine Postconditioning Protects against Reperfusion Injury via Inhibiting JNK/p38 MAPK and Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pores Signaling Pathways

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2016
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine whether c-jun NH2 amino-terminal kinases (JNK) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) were involved in morphine postconditioning (MpostC).

C-Jun N-terminal kinase 2 promotes liver injury via the mitochondrial permeability transition after hemorrhage and resuscitation

, 2012
Hemorrhagic shock leads to hepatic hypoperfusion and activation of mitogen-activated stress kinases (MAPK) like c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) 1 and 2. Our aim was to determine whether mitochondrial dysfunction leading to hepatic necrosis and apoptosis ...

c-Jun N-Terminal Phosphorylation Correlates with Activation of the JNK Subgroup but Not the ERK Subgroup of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases [PDF]

Molecular and Cellular Biology, 1994
c-Jun transcriptional activity is stimulated by phosphorylation at two N-terminal sites: Ser-63 and -73. Phosphorylation of these sites is enhanced in response to a variety of extracellular stimuli, including growth factors, cytokines, and UV irradiation.

Beyond Gut Modulation: A Critical Review of the Therapeutic Potential, Safety, and Clinical Prospects of Natural Polysaccharides for IBD

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...
