Intraoperative electroacupuncture relieves remifentanil-induced postoperative hyperalgesia via inhibiting spinal glial activation in rats

Molecular Pain, 2017
Background Accumulating studies have suggested that remifentanil, the widely-used opioid analgesic in clinical anesthesia, can activate the pronociceptive systems and enhance postoperative pain.

Structural Mechanism for the Specific Assembly and Activation of the Extracellular Signal Regulated Kinase 5 (ERK5) Module [PDF]

, 2013
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation depends on a linear binding motif found in all MAPK kinases (MKK). In addition, the PB1 (Phox and Bem1) domain of MKK5 is required for extracellular signal regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) activation.

Asthmatic airway smooth muscle CXCL10 production: mitogen-activated protein kinase JNK involvement

American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2012
CXCL10 (IP10) is involved in mast cell migration to airway smooth muscle (ASM) bundles in asthma. We aimed to investigate the role of cytokine-induced MAPK activation in CXCL10 production by ASM cells from people with and without asthma. Confluent growth-arrested ASM cells were treated with inhibitors of the MAPKs ERK, p38, and JNK and transcription ...

Dexamethasone-Induced Expression of Endothelial Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Phosphatase-1 Involves Activation of the Transcription Factors Activator Protein-1 and 3',5'-Cyclic Adenosine 5'-Monophosphate Response Element-Binding Protein and the Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species [PDF]

, 2008
We have recently identified the MAPK phosphatase (MKP)-1 as a novel mediator of the antiinflammatory properties of glucocorticoids (dexamethasone) in the human endothelium. However, nothing is as yet known about the signaling pathways responsible for the

PI3K/Akt-independent negative regulation of JNK signaling by MKP-7 after cerebral ischemia in rat hippocampus

BMC Neuroscience, 2013
Background The inactivation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is associated with anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects in cerebral ischemia, which can be induced by an imbalance between upstream phosphatases and kinases.

Role of JNK signaling in oral cancer: A mini review

Tumor Biology, 2017
JNKs (c-Jun N-terminal kinases) belong to mitogen-activated protein kinases’ family and become activated by several growth factors, stress, radiation, and other extracellular signals.

Palmitoleic acid prevents palmitic acid-induced macrophage activation and consequent p38 MAPK-mediated-skeletal muscle insulin resistance [PDF]

, 2014
Obesity and saturated fatty acid (SFA) treatment are both associated with skeletal muscle insulin resistance (IR) and increased macrophage infiltration. However, the relative effects of SFA and unsaturated fatty acid (UFA)-activated macrophages on muscle

JNK and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways contribute to porcine epidemic diarrhea virus infection

Virus Research, 2016
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, which are central building blocks in the intracellular signaling network, are often manipulated by viruses of diverse families to favor their replication. Among the MAPK family, the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway is known to be modulated during the infection with porcine ...

Activation of the Sap-1a Transcription Factor by the c-Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK) Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1997
Ternary complex factors (TCFs) bind to the serum response element in the c-fos promoter and mediate its activation by many extracellular stimuli. Some of these stimuli activate the ERK subclass of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) that target the TCF Sap-1a.
