Regulation of Human Hepatocytes by P2Y Receptors: Control of Glycogen Phosphorylase, Ca , and Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases

In the rat both short-term liver function, such as glycogen metabolism, and long-term events such as proliferation after partial hepatectomy, are in part controlled by release of nucleotides such as ATP acting on hepatocyte P2Y1 and P2Y2 receptors (members of a family of P2Y receptors for extracellular nucleotides such as ATP and UTP). Here, we have studied P2Y receptor regulation of signaling ...

Regulation of human hepatocytes by P2Y receptors: control of glycogen phosphorylase, Ca2+, and mitogen-activated protein kinases.

In the rat both short-term liver function, such as glycogen metabolism, and long-term events such as proliferation after partial hepatectomy, are in part controlled by release of nucleotides such as ATP acting on hepatocyte P2Y(1) and P2Y(2) receptors (members of a family of P2Y receptors for extracellular nucleotides such as ATP and UTP). Here, we have studied P2Y receptor regulation of signal...

"Stress-responsive" mitogen-activated protein kinases (c-Jun N-terminal kinases and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases) in the myocardium.

Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Cascades: Terminology and Properties The best-characterized subfamilies of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) superfamily are the extracellularly responsive kinases (ERKs) and the two “stress-responsive” MAPK subfamilies, namely, the c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) and the p38-MAPKs. As yet, no single nomenclature has been determined, and the synonyms c...

Mitogen-activated protein kinases and retinal ischemia.

PURPOSE Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), consisting of three major enzymes-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38, and c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-couple cell-surface receptors to critical regulatory targets and gene transcription. We hypothesized that MAPKs are differentially expressed and have distinct functions after retinal ischemia. METHODS Rats were subjected to re...
