Caenorhabditis elegans and probiotics interactions from a prolongevity perspective [PDF]
Probiotics exert beneficial effects on host health through different mechanisms of action, such as production of antimicrobial substances, competition with pathogens, enhancement of host mucosal barrier integrity and immunomodulation.

Activation of G1 Progression, JNK Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase, and Actin Filament Assembly by the Exchange Factor FGD1 [PDF]
Cdc42 has been shown to control bifurcating pathways leading to filopodia formation/G1 cell cycle progression and to JNK mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. To dissect these pathways further, the cellular effects induced by a Cdc42 guanine nucleotide exchange factor, FGD1, have been examined.

Vitamins could regulate both MMP‐2 and MMP‐9 expression and activity through transcriptional and MAPK signaling pathway modulation. This study highlights the potential of vitamins as low‐toxicity therapeutic or adjunct agents for targeting MMP‐mediated cancer progression. Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP‐2 and MMP‐9) are key regulators of cancer

Mitogen-activated kinase kinase kinase 1 inhibits hedgehog signaling and medulloblastoma growth through GLI1 phosphorylation [PDF]
The aberrant activation of hedgehog (HH) signaling is a leading cause of the development of medulloblastoma, a pediatric tumor of the cerebellum. The FDA‑approved HH inhibitor, Vismodegib, which targets the transmembrane transducer SMO, has shown limited

Activation of mitogen‐activated protein kinases (p38‐MAPKs, SAPKs/JNKs and ERKs) by adenosine in the perfused rat heart [PDF]
Adenosine and mitogen‐activated protein kinases (MAPKs) have been separately implicated in cardiac ischaemic preconditioning. We investigated the activation of MAPK subfamilies by adenosine in perfused rat hearts. p38‐MAPK was rapidly phosphorylated and activated (10‐fold activation, maximal at 5 min) by 10 mM adenosine, as was the p38‐MAPK substrate ...

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
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 ...

Synergistic activation of stress-activated protein kinase 1/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK1/JNK) isoforms by mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MKK4) and MKK7 [PDF]
Stress-activated protein kinase 1 (SAPK1), also called c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), becomes activated in vivo in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines or cellular stresses. Its full activation requires the phosphorylation of a threonine and a tyrosine residue in a Thr-Pro-Tyr motif, which can be catalysed by the protein kinases mitogen-activated ...
