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
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.

An unexpected twist to the activation of IKKβ:TAK1 primes IKKβ for activation by autophosphorylation [PDF]
IKKß {IkB [inhibitor of NF-?B (nuclear factor ?B)] kinase ß} is required to activate the transcription factor NF-?B, but how IKKß itself is activated in vivo is still unclear.

Interacting protein kinases involved in the regulation of flagellar length
A striking difference of the life stages of the protozoan parasite Leishmania is a long flagellum in the insect stage promastigotes and a rudimentary organelle in the mammalian amastigotes.

JNK mitogen-activated protein kinase limits calcium-dependent chloride secretion across colonic epithelial cells [PDF]
Neuroimmune agonists induce epithelial Cl−secretion through elevations in intracellular Ca2+or cAMP. Previously, we demonstrated that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) transactivation and subsequent ERK MAPK activation limits secretory responses to Ca2+-dependent, but not cAMP-dependent, agonists.

The role of p38 MAPK and its substrates in neuronal plasticity and neurodegenerative disease [PDF]
A significant amount of evidence suggests that the p38-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling cascade plays a crucial role in synaptic plasticity and in neurodegenerative diseases.

High mobility group box 1 induced human lung myofibroblasts differentiation and enhanced migration by activation of MMP-9. [PDF]
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a nuclear protein that involves the binding with DNA and influences chromatin regulation and transcription. HMGB1 is also a cytokine that can activate monocytes and neutrophils involved in inflammation. In this study,

Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated
