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 ...

N6-Methyladenosine and Reader Protein YTHDF2 Enhance the Innate Immune Response by Mediating DUSP1 mRNA Degradation and Activating Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases during Bacterial and Viral Infections

mBio, 2023
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) play critical roles in the induction of numerous cytokines, chemokines, and inflammatory mediators that mobilize the immune system to counter pathogenic infections.

Targeting of p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases to MEF2 Transcription Factors [PDF]

Molecular and Cellular Biology, 1999
Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase-mediated signalling to the nucleus is an important event in the conversion of extracellular signals into a cellular response. However, the existence of multiple MAP kinases which phosphorylate similar phosphoacceptor motifs poses a problem in maintaining substrate specificity and hence the correct biological ...

Comparative study of the efficacy of pulsed electromagnetic field and low level laser therapy on mitogen-activated protein kinases

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2017
Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs) consist of three major signaling members: extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38 and C-JUN N-terminal kinase (JNK).

High mobility group box 1 induced human lung myofibroblasts differentiation and enhanced migration by activation of MMP-9. [PDF]

PLoS 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,

The structure of mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 at 2.1-Å resolution [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1997
The structure of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase p38 has been solved at 2.1-Å to an R factor of 21.0%, making p38 the second low activity MAP kinase solved to date. Although p38 is topologically similar to the MAP kinase ERK2, the phosphorylation Lip (a regulatory loop near the active site) adopts a different

Mitogen‐Activated Protein Kinase and Intracellular Polyamine Signaling Is Involved in TRPV1 Activation–Induced Cardiac Hypertrophy

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundThe transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) is expressed in the cardiovascular system, and increased TRPV1 expression has been associated with cardiac hypertrophy.

p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases: their role in carcinogenesis [PDF]

Revista de Oncología, 2003
[EN]: The members of the p38 subfamily of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs) are a versatile group of proteins, that function as signal transducers involved in key cellular functions. Initially, p38 MAPKs were associated with inflammatory and cellular stress responses and, as such, p38 has been an important target for anti-inflammatory therapies.

Protective effect of ginsenoside Rb1 against tacrolimus-induced apoptosis in renal proximal tubular LLC-PK1 cells

Journal of Ginseng Research, 2018
Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential protective effects of six ginsenosides (Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Rg1, and Rg3) isolated from Panax ginseng against tacrolimus (FK506)-induced apoptosis in renal proximal tubular LLC-PK1 ...

ADAM17, A Key Player of Cardiac Inflammation and Fibrosis in Heart Failure Development During Chronic Catecholamine Stress

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Heart failure development is characterized by persistent inflammation and progressive fibrosis owing to chronic catecholamine stress. In a chronic stress state, elevated catecholamines result in the overstimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors (βARs ...
