چکیده

Coupling of membrane Ig (mIg) and CD40 to the extracellularly regulated kinase (ERK) signal transduction pathway was examined in the WEHI-231 B lymphoma and normal mouse B cells. Cross-linking mIg induces ERK activation in both WEHI-231 and normal B cells. In contrast, CD40 cross-linking failed to induce ERK activation in WEHI-231, but signals through CD40 were more effective than mIg as a stimulus for ERK activation in normal B cells. However, several lines of evidence suggest that CD40 and the B cell Ag regulate ERK through distinct pathways that converge at the level of MEK-1, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase. Abs to mIg or CD40 induced MEK-1 activation with different kinetics. Cross-linking of mIg, but not CD40, induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the SHC adapter molecule that couples receptors to Ras-dependent signaling pathways. Finally, agents that elevate cAMP, causing protein kinase A-mediated inhibition of Raf-1, inhibited activation of ERK in response to mIg cross-linking, but had no affect on ERK activation in response to anti-CD40 or Jun N-terminal kinase activation by signals through either receptor. Thus, CD40 uses an unidentified protein kinase A-insensitive MEK kinase, rather than Raf-1, to regulate ERK activity.

Differential roles for extracellularly regulated kinase-mitogen-activated protein kinase in B cell antigen receptor-induced apoptosis and CD40-mediated rescue of WEHI-231 immature B cells.

One of the major unresolved questions in B cell biology is how the B cell Ag receptor (BCR) differentially signals to transduce anergy, apoptosis, proliferation, or differentiation during B cell maturation. We now report that extracellularly regulated kinase-mitogen-activated protein kinase (Erk-MAP kinase) can play dual roles in the regulation of the cell fate of the immature B cell lymphoma, ...

Eupafolin ameliorates lipopolysaccharide-induced cardiomyocyte autophagy via PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway

Objective(s): Eupafolin, a major active component of Eupatorium perfoliatum L., has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is responsible for myocardial depression. A line of evidences revealed that LPS induces autophagy in cardiomyocytes injury. This study aims to evaluate the effects of eupafolin on LPS-induced cardiomyocyte autophagy...

Inactivation of mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway reduces caspase-14 expression in impaired keratinocytes

Objective(s):Several investigations have revealed that caspase-14 is responsible for the epidermal differentiation and cornification, as well as the regulation of moisturizing effect. However, the precise regulation mechanism is still not clear. This study was aimed to investigate the expression of caspase-14 in filaggrin-deficient normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) and to explore the...
