Redox-dependent dimerization of p38α mitogen-activated protein kinase with mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 3 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2017
The kinase p38α MAPK (p38α) plays a pivotal role in many biological processes. p38α is activated by canonical upstream kinases that phosphorylate the activation region. The purpose of our study was to determine whether such activation may depend on redox-sensing cysteines within p38α.

Mitogen-activated protein kinases regulate susceptibility to ventilator-induced lung injury. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2008
Mechanical ventilation causes ventilator-induced lung injury in animals and humans. Mitogen-activated protein kinases have been implicated in ventilator-induced lung injury though their functional significance remains incomplete. We characterize the role

Mitogen-activated protein kinases in atherosclerosis

open access: yesPostępy Higieny i Medycyny Doświadczalnej, 2014
Intracellular signalling cascades, in which MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinases) intermediate, are responsible for a biological response of a cell to an external stimulus. MAP kinases, which include ERK1/2 (extracellular signalling-regulated kinase), JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase) and p 38 MAPK, regulate the activity of many proteins, enzymes and ...

Leishmania infection engages non-receptor protein kinases differentially to persist in infected hosts

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2016
Protein kinases play important roles in the regulation of cellular activities. In cells infected by pathogens, there is increasing appreciation that dysregulated expression of protein kinases promotes the success of intracellular infections.

Co-regulation of the transcription controlling ATF2 phosphoswitch by JNK and p38

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
The ATF2 transcription factor is phosphorylated by different mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases. Here, the authors show that the functionally distinct MAP kinases JNK and p38 control ATF2 through different binding sites and differential ...

Eupatorin-induced cell death in human leukemia cells is dependent on caspases and activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Eupatorin is a naturally occurring flavone that inhibits cell proliferation in human tumor cells. Here we demonstrate that eupatorin arrests cells at the G2-M phase of the cell cycle and induces apoptotic cell death involving activation of multiple ...

Inhibitory effects of thromboxane A2 generation by ginsenoside Ro due to attenuation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 phosphorylation and arachidonic acid release

open access: yesJournal of Ginseng Research, 2019
Background: Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) induces platelet aggregation and promotes thrombus formation. Although ginsenoside Ro (G-Ro) from Panax ginseng is known to exhibit a Ca2+-antagonistic antiplatelet effect, whether it inhibits Ca2+-dependent cytosolic ...

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

open access: yesMolecular 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.

MKK7, the essential regulator of JNK signaling involved in cancer cell survival: a newly emerging anticancer therapeutic target

open access: yesTherapeutic Advances in Medical Oncology, 2019
One of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), c-Jun NH2-terminal protein kinase (JNK) plays an important role in regulating cell fate, such as proliferation, differentiation, development, transformation, and apoptosis.
