P38 MAPK Pharmacological Inhibitor SB203580 Alleviates Total Parenteral Nutrition-Induced Loss of Intestinal Barrier Function but Promotes Hepatocyte Lipoapoptosis [PDF]
Background & Aims: Our previous studies have provided evidence that p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is involved in total parenteral nutrition (TPN)-associated complications, but its exact effects and mechanisms have not been fully ...

Norepinephrine inhibits cell cycle re‐entry of neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes characterized by the absence of de novo nestin expression [PDF]
The p38α/β MAPK inhibitor SB203580 in the presence of a phorbol ester (protein kinase C activator) induced cell cycle re‐entry of two subpopulations of neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes (NNVMs) distinguished by the absence or de novo nestin ...

β, β-Dimethylacrylshikonin Triggers Caspase-Mediated Cell Apoptosis via Heme Oxygenase-1 Upregulation and ERK/p38 Activation in Prostate Cancer. [PDF]
ABSTRACT β, β‐Dimethylacrylshikonin (DMAS), a natural naphthoquinone derivative isolated from the root of a biennial herb belonging to the family Boraginaceae, has been demonstrated to exhibit anti‐cancer and anti‐inflammatory features. Yet, the effects of DMAS on restraining the progression of prostate cancer (PC) remain mostly elusive.

Role of the MAPK pathway in human lung epithelial-like A549 cells apoptosis induced by paraquat [PDF]
This study aims to investigate the value of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) for paraquat (PQ)-induced apoptosis in human lung epithelial-like A549 cells and the specific mechanism. A549 cell apoptosis were induced by PQ.

Reduced parasite motility and micronemal protein secretion by a p38 MAPK inhibitor leads to a severe impairment of cell invasion by the apicomplexan parasite Eimeria tenella. [PDF]
E. tenella infection is associated with a severe intestinal disease leading to high economic losses in poultry industry. Mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are implicated in early response to infection and are divided in three pathways: p38 ...

Inhibition of p38 MAPK Signaling Regulates the Expression of EAAT2 in the Brains of Epileptic Rats
Seizures induce the release of excitatory amino acids (EAAs) from the intracellular fluid to the extracellular fluid, and the released EAAs primarily comprise glutamic acid (Glu) and asparaginic acid (Asp).
