Chronic p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibition improves vascular function and remodeling in angiotensin II-dependent hypertension
INTRODUCTION An excess of angiotensin II (Ang II) causes hypertension and vascular injury. Activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 (p38-MAPK) plays a substantial role in Ang II-dependent organ damage. Recently, we showed that p38-MAPK activation regulates the pressor response to Ang II. This study evaluates the effect of chronic p38-MAPK inhibition in Ang II-dependent hypertension. ...
متن کاملCalcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II.
There is a great deal known about the in vitro properties of CaM kinase II, both in terms of its substrate specificity and its regulation by calmodulin and autophosphorylation. Much of this characterization is based on experiments performed with the rat brain isozyme of CaM kinase II, although in the aspects examined to date isozymes of the kinase from other tissues appear to behave in a broadl...
متن کاملiNOS regulation by calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II in vascular smooth muscle.
Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) expression is regulated transcriptionally in response to cytokine induction and posttranslationally by palmitoylation and trafficking into perinuclear aggresome-like structures. We investigated the effects of multifunctional calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II protein kinase (CaMKII) on inducible NOS (iNOS) trafficking in cultured rat aortic vascular smoot...
متن کاملCalcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II: an unforgettable kinase.
The search for “memory molecules” and why CaMKII is an appealing candidate Since the time neuroscientists first recognized that biochemical events inside neurons could influence the function of the brain, there have been people looking for “memory molecules.” This elusive ion, small molecule, protein, or nucleic acid would be the keystone on which memory was built; understanding the memory mole...
متن کاملModulation of vascular smooth muscle cell migration by calcium/ calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II-delta 2.
Previous studies demonstrated a requirement for multifunctional Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in PDGF-stimulated vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cell migration. In the present study, molecular approaches were used specifically to assess the role of the predominant CaMKII isoform (delta(2) or delta(C)) on VSM cell migration. Kinase-negative (K43A) and constitutively active ...
