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

Journal 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 ...

Cutaneous p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activation triggers psoriatic dermatitis [PDF]

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2019
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by IL-17-mediated immune responses. p38 is known to be highly activated in the psoriatic epidermis; however, whether p38 is involved in the development of psoriasis is unclear.We sought to demonstrate that activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase is sufficient to induce psoriatic ...

Activation of the cellular mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways ERK, P38 and JNK during Toxoplasma gondii invasion

Parasite, 2003
Host cell invasion is essential for the pathogenicity of the obligate intracellular protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. In the present study, we evaluated the ability of T.

Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide potentially attenuates diabetic retinal injury in a diabetic rat model

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, 2019
Aims/Introduction To investigate the protective effect of Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide (PSP) on the retina in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods A total of 120 Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly divided into blank control, control model (meaning

The case for inhibiting p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in heart failure

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2015
This minireview discusses the evidence that the inhibition of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (p38 MAPKs) maybe of therapeutic value in heart failure. Most previous experimental studies, as well as past and ongoing clinical trials, have focussed on

Chicken avian β-defensin 8 modulates immune response via the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways in a chicken macrophage cell line

Poultry Science, 2020
Defensins are antimicrobial peptides composed of 3 conserved disulfide bridges, a β-sheet, and both hydrophobic and cationic amino acids. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate the immunomodulation role of avian β-defensin 8 (AvBD8) in a chicken ...

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

PLoS 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

Role of p38 mitogen‐activated protein kinase in cardiac remodelling [PDF]

British Journal of Pharmacology, 2007
Background and purpose:Mitogen‐activated protein kinases (MAPK) are centrally involved in several mechanisms important for heart failure such as apoptosis, activation of inflammatory responses and cell proliferation. We therefore evaluated the effect of the selective p38 MAPK inhibitor SB 239063 on progression of left ventricular remodelling after ...

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

Molecular 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.

Total ginsenosides suppress monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension in rats: involvement of nitric oxide and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways

Journal of Ginseng Research, 2016
Background: Ginsenosides have been shown to exert beneficial pharmacological effects on the central nervous, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems. We sought to determine whether total ginsenosides (TG) inhibit monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary ...
