Involvement of Reactive Oxygen Species in the Activation of Tyrosine Kinase and Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase by Angiotensin II.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been proposed to mediate vascular hypertrophy induced by angiotensin II (Ang II). Recently, we and others have shown that growth-promoting signals by Ang II involve protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). However, whether ROS contribute to the Ang II-induced PTK and/or ERK activation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs...
متن کاملActivation of mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase by G protein and tyrosine kinase oncoproteins.
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are rapidly phosphorylated and activated in response to a variety of extracellular stimuli in many different cell types. The kinases that activate MAPK, the MAPK/ERK Kinases (MEKs), are also activated by phosphorylation. We have studied the influence of specific oncogenes on the regulation of MEK activity in NIH3T3 and Rat1a fibroblasts. We show that a ...
متن کاملCaffeic acid improves cell viability and protects against DNA damage: involvement of reactive oxygen species and extracellular signal-regulated kinase
Hormesis is an adaptive response to a variety of oxidative stresses that renders cells resistant to harmful doses of stressing agents. Caffeic acid (CaA) is an important antioxidant that has protective effects against DNA damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, whether CaA-induced protection is a hormetic effect remains unknown, as is the molecular mechanism that is involved. W...
متن کاملRole of mitochondria in angiotensin II-induced reactive oxygen species and mitogen-activated protein kinase activation.
Peptide hormone Angiotensin II (Ang II) activates NAD(P)H oxidase, via AT1 receptors leading to increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as the superoxide anion (O(2)(-)). As an important intracellular second messenger, ROS can activate many downstream signaling molecules, including mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), protein tyrosine phosphatases, protein tyrosine kina...
متن کاملShikonin induces apoptosis through reactive oxygen species/extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathway in osteosarcoma cells.
Shikonin, a major ingredient in the Chinese traditional herb Lithospermum erythrorhixon, exhibits multiple biological functions including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor effects. In this study, we delineated the molecular mechanisms of shikonin in the apoptosis of 143B osteosarcoma cells. Shikonin reduced the cell viability of 143B cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The...
