Differential regulation of anti-inflammatory genes by p38 MAP kinase and MAP kinase kinase 6. [PDF]
BackgroundConventional p38α inhibitors have limited efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis, possibly because p38 blockade suppresses the counter-regulatory mechanisms that limit inflammation.

Regulation of peripheral inflammation by spinal p38 MAP kinase in rats. [PDF]
BackgroundSomatic afferent input to the spinal cord from a peripheral inflammatory site can modulate the peripheral response. However, the intracellular signaling mechanisms in the spinal cord that regulate this linkage have not been defined.

DENDRITIC CELL DIFFERENTIATION BLOCKED BY PRIMARY EFFUSION LYMPHOMA-RELEASED FACTORS IS PARTIALLY RESTORED BY INHIBITION OF P38 MAPK [PDF]
To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the dendritic cell (DC) defects in cancer, we analyzed which signaling pathway is implicated in the abnormal monocyte differentiation into DC determined by the presence of Primary effusion lymphoma

Molecular mechanism of inhibition of 8-gingerol on proliferation of breast cancer cells
Objective To investigate the effect of cell cycle on breast cancer cells by 8-gingerol. Methods The cell viability of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 after treated by 8-gingerol at the doses of 0, 10, 20, 30 or 40 μmol/L for 24, 48 or 72 h was ...

Ubiquitin plays an atypical role in GPCR-induced p38 MAP kinase activation on endosomes. [PDF]
Protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) for thrombin and promotes inflammatory responses through multiple pathways including p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling.

LRG-1 promotes pancreatic cancer growth and metastasis via modulation of the EGFR/p38 signaling
Background The abnormal expression of leucine-rich-alpha-2-glycoprotein 1 (LRG-1) is reported to be associated with multiple malignancies, but its role in the progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains to be determined.

CD69 is a TGF-β/1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 target gene in monocytes [PDF]
CD69 is a transmembrane lectin that can be expressed on most hematopoietic cells. In monocytes, it has been functionally linked to the 5-lipoxygenase pathway in which the leukotrienes, a class of highly potent inflammatory mediators, are produced ...

Neuropeptide Y inhibits interleukin-1β-induced phagocytosis by microglial cells
Background Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is emerging as a modulator of communication between the brain and the immune system. However, in spite of increasing evidence that supports a role for NPY in the modulation of microglial cell responses to inflammatory ...

Peroxiredoxin 3 Inhibits Cardiac Fibrosis in Mice via NOX4-P38 Signalling [PDF]
Objective: Peroxiredoxin-3 (Prx-3) is widely acknowledged as an antioxidant that protects against mitochondrialreactive oxygen species. Nonetheless, its role in cardiac fibrosis has not been elucidated. We aim to explore the roleand mechanism of Prx-3 in

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
