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

open access: yesBMC 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

open access: yesTumor 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.

An unexpected twist to the activation of IKKβ:TAK1 primes IKKβ for activation by autophosphorylation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
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.

Stress and Vascular Responses: Atheroprotective Effect of Laminar Fluid Shear Stress in Endothelial Cells: Possible Role of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2003
Atherosclerosis preferentially occurs in areas of turbulent blood flow and low fluid shear stress, whereas laminar blood flow and high shear stress are atheroprotective.

Interacting protein kinases involved in the regulation of flagellar length

open access: yes, 2006
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]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, 2010
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]

open access: yes, 2012
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]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
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,

EDNRB‐dependent endothelin signaling reduces proliferation and promotes proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition in gliomas

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
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
