PPARγ agonism attenuates cocaine seeking behavior via association with ERK MAPK
… is thought to underlie relapse behaviors. ERK, a protein vital for learning and memory, is altered by cocaine use and abstinence. Our lab demonstrated PPARγ agonism rescued cognitive impairment in an animal model of Alzheimer’s disease and that this rescue involved ERK. Given the role of …

The interferon alpha receptor utilises T-cell receptor-associated proteins for signalling
… outcomes, both the TCR and IFNAR activate the ERK MAPK signalling pathway, albeit with a different time course. Furthermore, studies have shown that the IFNAR and TCR utilise an overlapping subset of proteins for this pathway to occur such as CD45, Lck and Zap70. In this study evidence is …

PPARγ-pERK interaction restores memory consolidation in an Alzheimer’s disease model
… protein kinase mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK MAPK) is required for many forms of learning and memory that are affected in AD, and since both PPARγ and ERK are key mediators of insulin signaling, we tested the hypothesis that RSG-mediated cognitive improvement induces a hippocampal PPARγ …

A Phase I Dose-Escalation Study of The Braf Inhibitor Vemurafenib In Combination With The Mtor Inhibitor Everolimus In Subjects With Advanced Cancer
… in various other malignancies. The RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK (MAPK) pathway is critical to cell proliferation in many human cancers. The mTOR inhibitors are well known to exert profound anticancer effects across malignancies through inhibition of the PTEN/PI3K/AKT/mTOR (mTOR) pathway. We hypothesize that …

The Mechanism of the Gastric Epithelial Stem Cell Response to Metaplastic Injury
… CD44 and/or proliferation and found only ERK MAPK was activated during early stages following injury: as few as 6 hours following tamoxifen injection). This burst of ERK activation is localized to non-differentiated cells of the isthmus, and blocking ERK activation with the inhibitor U0126 …

Involvement of Platelet-Derived Growth Factor, PDGF Receptor Signaling, Focal Adhesion Kinase and SRC in Pressure-Induced Vascular Smooth Muscle Hypertrophy
… sensitive. The signaling molecules FAK, Src and ERK-MAPK are known to be triggered by integrin engagement and growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) activation. Pairs of rat mesenteric arteries were pressurized to 90 mmHg (control), and then one was raised to 140 mmHg for 1, 3, 5 or 10 …

Molecular Mechanisms by Which HSP90 Inhibition in the Spinal Cord Enhances Opioid Receptor Signaling
… HSP90 is inhibited in spinal cord using 17-AAG, ERK MAPK signaling, and subsequent opioid anti-nociception is enhanced. Quantitative proteomic analysis on the spinal cords of CD-1 mice treated with 17-AAG revealed that both 5' AMP-activated protein kinase subunit beta-1 (AMPK) and Epidermal …

U0126, MEK1/2 inhibitor, Induces Adhesion Molecules Expression in Human Blood Cells
… inflammatory responses in vascular lesion. MAPKinase pathway has been known to be activated in inflammatory responses. In this study, we investigated the expression of adhesion molecule by MEK1/2 inhibotors such as U0126 in human blood cells, U937 cells. Cell viability was determined by MTT …

Age-related impairments in memory and in cholinergic signaling due to reduced blood glucose responses to epinephrine
… mediates the calcium-dependent activation of the ERK/MAPK and CREB signaling cascades, which are widely implicated in activity-dependent neuronal plasticity. Age-related deficits in brain glucose availability may limit these cholinergic signaling processes and produce memory impairments. This is …

Die Rolle mitogener und stressinduzierter MAPK-Signalwege in der Regulation von keratinozytären Wachstums- und Differenzierungsvorgängen
… Rolle in der Pathogenese vieler Hauterkrankungen. Die intrazellulären Signalmechanismen, die die Balance zwischen Keratinozytenwachstum und -differen-zierung steuern, sind bislang weitgehend unbekannt. In dieser Arbeit wurde die Bedeutung Mitogen-aktivierter Proteinkinase (MAPK-) …

Regulation of Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha Signaling in Rheumatoid Arthritis Synovial Fibroblasts by Green Tea Polyphenol Epigallocatechin-3-gallate
… modestly inhibited JNK and p38 with no effect on ERK MAPK in RA synovial fibroblasts. Inhibition of TNF-a-induced downstream signaling pathways by EGCG resulted in decreases in IL-6 and IL-8 production by RA synovial fibroblasts. Overall, the results of this study suggest that EGCG decreases the …

Multi-omic characterisation of Barrett’s oesophagus reveals a molecular continuum in the progression to oesophageal adenocarcinoma
… there is an upregulation of genes in the ERK/MAPK pathway. In summary, BE is a heterogeneous disease that shows a continuum of abnormalities in the progression towards cancer. We hypothesise that it is the accumulation of events that tip the balance to progression, rather than a stepwise …

Molecular mechanisms involved in the anticancer activity of BISPMB in oesophageal cancer cells
… the endoplasmic reticulum and also deregulated MAPK pathways in WHCO1 cells. At a protein level, bisPMB was found to induce an increase in protein ubiquitination and in the expression of ER stress and UPR genes ATF4, Grp78 and CHOP in WHCO1 cells. We also observed a decrease in ATF6 90 kDa …

Moreover, results presented herein demonstrate that fibroblast recruitment is enhanced by LMP1-conditioned medium. Since a growing body of evidence suggests that 3D cell culture systems mimic the in vivo TME more …
