B cell antigen receptor (BCR)-induced apoptosis in the WEHI-231 B lymphoma cell line can be prevented by engaging CD40. We have used this cell line to investigate the role of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases in integrating BCR and CD40 signaling ...

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.

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

Inferring the Sign of Kinase-Substrate Interactions by Combining Quantitative Phosphoproteomics with a Literature-Based Mammalian Kinome Network [PDF]
Protein phosphorylation is a reversible post-translational modification commonly used by cell signaling networks to transmit information about the extracellular environment into intracellular organelles for the regulation of the activity and sorting of proteins within the cell.

Using the structural kinome to systematize kinase drug discovery [PDF]
Kinase-targeted drug design is challenging. It requires designing inhibitors that can bind to specific kinases when all kinase catalytic domains share a common folding scaffold that binds ATP. Thus, obtaining the desired selectivity, given the whole human kinome, is a fundamental task during early-stage drug discovery.

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,

A knowledge graph representation learning approach to predict novel kinase-substrate interactions [PDF]
The human proteome contains a vast network of interacting kinases and substrates. Even though some kinases have proven to be immensely useful as therapeutic targets, a majority are still understudied. In this work, we present a novel knowledge graph representation learning approach to predict novel interaction partners for understudied kinases.

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 ...

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]
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
