AMP-activated protein kinase/myocardin-related transcription factor-A signaling regulates fibroblast activation and renal fibrosis.
Chronic kidney disease is a major cause of death, and renal fibrosis is a common pathway leading to the progression of this disease. Although activated fibroblasts are responsible for the production of the extracellular matrix and the development of renal fibrosis, the molecular mechanisms underlying fibroblast activation are not fully defined. Here we examined the functional role of AMP-activa...
متن کاملActivation of AMP-activated protein kinase inhibits ER stress and renal fibrosis.
It has been suggested that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress facilitates fibrotic remodeling. Therefore, modulation of ER stress may serve as one of the possible therapeutic approaches to renal fibrosis. We examined whether and how activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) suppressed ER stress induced by chemical ER stress inducers [tunicamycin (TM) and thapsigargin (TG)] and also nonch...
متن کاملThe energy sensor AMP-activated protein kinase directly regulates the mammalian FOXO3 transcription factor.
The maintenance of homeostasis throughout an organism's life span requires constant adaptation to changes in energy levels. The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays a critical role in the cellular responses to low energy levels by switching off energy-consuming pathways and switching on energy-producing pathways. However, the transcriptional mechanisms by which AMPK acts to adjust cellular...
متن کاملAMP-activated protein kinase regulates neuronal polarization
Question: Does the adenosine 5=monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling cascade have a role in neuronal polarization? Background: The differentiation of a single neurite into an axon, which involves increased protein and membrane synthesis as well as the intracellular trafficking of these products, is a metabolically costly process. The AMPK signaling cascade has a major ro...
متن کاملSumoylation of Transcription Factor Tec1 Regulates Signaling of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathways in Yeast
Tec1 is a transcription factor in the yeast mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway that controls invasive growth. Previously we reported that a fraction of Tec1 protein is sumoylated on residue lysine 54 in normally growing cells. Here we describe regulation and functional consequences of Tec1 sumoylation. We found that activation of Kss1, the MAPK that directly activates Tec1, results...
