The role of c-Jun N-terminal kinase one and two in motoneuron maturation and maintenance
… ). Subgroups of the mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) family have been implicated in neuronal differentiation, death, regeneration, and survival (Bogoyevitch and Kobe, 2006; Frebel and Wiese, 2006). The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) are stress-activated members of the MAPK family, …

Elevated temperature alters cytokine output and c-Jun N-terminal kinase signaling downstream of toll-like receptor activation
Fever is a fundamental and important response to infection. Previous studies have shown that alterations in temperature can alter the phenotype of innate immune cells, such as phagocytic ability, but the effects of elevated temperature on the molecular mechanisms that underlie these differences …

Effect of Anti-fibrotic Drug (Pirfenidone) on TGF-β Signaling Pathway in Ocular Fibrotic Disorders
… (Smad) 2/3, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, and extracellular signal related kinase expression were conducted to elucidate the cell signaling networks that contribute to the anti-fibrotic effect of pirfenidone. Results: Treatment with TGF-β1 induced typical …

ROS regulation of axonal mitochondrial transport
… effects, we examined Ca2+ levels and the JNK (c-Jun N-terminal Kinase) pathway, which have been shown to regulate mitochondrial transport and general fast axonal transport, respectively. We found that elevated ROS increased Ca 2+levels, and that the Ca2+ chelator EGTA rescued ROS-induced defects …

Gain And Loss Of Progranulin Have Opposite Effects On Autophagy
… TNF receptor (TNFR) over-stimulation and C-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation. Excessive activation of brain autophagy is associated to neurodegeneration and either JNK or autophagy inhibition improve neuronal viability and dysfunction in PGRN deficient neurons and PGRN null C. elegans. …

The GluK4 Kainate Receptor Subunit Regulates Mood, Memory and Excitotoxic Neurodegeneration
… tissue revealed that GluK4 may act through the c-Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK) pathway to regulate the molecular cascades that lead to excitotoxicity. Finally, I found preliminary evidence to suggest that GluK4 may regulate hippocampal seizure activity following intraperitoneal injection of kainate. …

Molecular mechanisms mediating the induction of apoptosis by chemopreventive selenium compounds
… in inhibition of apoptosis. Activities of stress kinases INK (c-jun N-terminal kinase) and p38 were also induced on selenium treatment and intervention studies using specific chemical inhibitors and/or dominant negative mutants suggested that INK, but not p38, was functionally important for the …

PLASMA JNK3 AS A NOVEL PERIPHERAL BIOMARKER IN ALZHEIMER'S AND PARKINSON'S DISEASES: EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND DISEASE MONITORING
… This thesis investigated the potential of c-Jun N-terminal kinase 3 (JNK3), a neuron-specific stress-activated kinase, as a novel peripheral biomarker with translational value in both AD and PD. In the AD cohort, which included patients with AD, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and controls …

Heat shock protein 90, a potential biomarker for type I diabetes: mechanisms of release from pancreatic beta cells
… stress and ensuing cytotoxicity mediated by c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) appeared to play a role in HSP90 release. Beta cell HSP90 release was attenuated by pre-treatment with tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), which has been shown previously to protect beta cells against JNK-mediated, …
