MAPK immunoreactivity in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat testis [PDF]
PURPOSE: To evaluate the alterations of two mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK)s, extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Jun NH2 terminal kinase (JNK), in the testes of male rats with experimental diabetes.

DUSP1 is a novel target for enhancing pancreatic cancer cell sensitivity to gemcitabine. [PDF]
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a deadly cancer with a poor prognosis that is characterized by excessive mitogenic pathway activation and marked chemoresistance to a broad spectrum of chemotherapeutic drugs.

Raf-independent Deregulation of p38 and JNK Mitogen-activated Protein Kinases Are Critical for Ras Transformation [PDF]
Activated Ras, but not Raf, causes transformation of RIE-1 epithelial cells, supporting the importance of Raf-independent pathways in mediating Ras transformation. The p38 and JNK mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades are activated by Ras via Raf-independent effector function.

Independent regulation of JNK/p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases by metabolic oxidative stress in the liver [PDF]
The stress-activated protein kinases JNK and p38 mediate increased gene expression and are activated by environmental stresses and proinflammatory cytokines. Using an in vivo model in which oxidative stress is generated in the liver by intracellular metabolism, rapid protein–DNA complex formation on stress ...

C-Jun N-terminal kinases/c-Jun and p38 pathways cooperate in ceramide-induced neuronal apoptosis [PDF]
Understanding the regulation of the apoptotic program in neurons by intracellular pathways is currently a subject of great interest. Recent results suggest that c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK), mitogen-activated protein kinases and the transcription ...
