Laminar flow activation of ERK5 leads to cytoprotective effect via CHIP-mediated p53 ubiquitination in endothelial cells
Atherosclerosis is readily observed in areas where disturbed flow is formed, while the atheroprotective region is found in areas with steady laminar flow (L-flow). It has been established that L-flow protects endothelial cells against endothelial dysfunction, including apoptosis and inflammation. It has also been reported that extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) regulated endothelial...
متن کاملFlow activation of AMP-activated protein kinase in vascular endothelium leads to Krüppel-like factor 2 expression.
OBJECTIVE Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) confer atheroprotection at locations of the arterial tree where pulsatile laminar flow (PS) exists with a high shear stress and a large net forward direction. We investigated whether the PS-induced expression of the transcription factor Krüppel-Like Factor 2 (KLF2) in cultured ECs and its expression in the mouse aorta is regulated by AMP-activated prot...
متن کاملHomocysteine Induces Heme Oxygenase-1 Expression via Transcription Factor Nrf2 Activation in HepG2 Cells
Background: Elevated level of plasma homocysteine has been related to various diseases. Patients with hyperhomocysteinemia can develop hepatic steatosis and fibrosis. We hypothesized that oxidative stress induced by homocysteine might play an important role in pathogenesis of liver injury. Also, the cellular response designed to combat oxidative stress is primarily controlled by the transcripti...
متن کاملNuclear factor E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) is required for NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasome activation.
Despite the number of extensive studies on the immune function and signaling of inflammasomes in various diseases, the activating mechanism of inflammasome, especially the NLRP3 inflammasome, is not fully understood. Nuclear factor E2-related Factor-2 (Nrf2), a key transcription factor that regulates cellular redox homeostasis, has been reported to play both protective and pathogenic roles depe...
متن کاملActivation of mouse Pi-class glutathione S-transferase gene by Nrf2(NF-E2-related factor 2) and androgen.
The Pi-class glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) play pivotal roles in the detoxification of xenobiotics, carcinogenesis and drug resistance. The mechanisms of regulation of these genes during drug induction and carcinogenesis are yet to be elucidated. Recently, Nrf2 (NF-E2-related factor 2; a bZip-type transcription factor) knockout mice were shown to display impaired induction of Pi-class GST g...
