The mammalian mitogen activated protein kinase network.
نویسنده
چکیده
The families ofMAP kinases cascades (mitogen activated protein kinases) form major signalling systems by which cells transduce extracellular signals into cellular responses. Studying the regulation of these MAP kinase signalling pathways is of utmost importance in the understanding of the triggering of cell proliferation versus cell differentiation and the responses of the cell to stress or osmotic factors. This review will describe in detail the archetypal MAP kinase cascade (Raf-MEKERK); it will present the more recently discovered MAP kinase cascades (SAPK and p38) and provide some indications on the regulation of this network of signalling pathways. The scope of the review is not to provide an exhaustive listing of all aspects of research in this field; it aims rather to provide a basis for readers unfamiliar with the subject to scrutinise specific points of interest. Special attention will be given to introduce clearly the nomenclature of mammalian MAP kinase cascades, since it is often confusing with up to five names being used for the same mammalian enzyme. Readers requiring more detailed information on the MAP kinase cascades are referred to other recent reviews. 1-5

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...

Objective(s): Iranian crack (IC) is a heroin-based substance manifesting various pathologic side effects. Herein, we aimed to investigate the mechanism of IC-induced liver injuries in Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: Twenty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: control, and IC (0.9 mg/kg/day/IP, for 30 days). Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was measur...
متن کاملThe Implication of Androgens in the Presence of Protein Kinase C to Repair Alzheimer’s Disease-Induced Cognitive Dysfunction
Aging, as a major risk factor of memory deficiency, affects neural signaling pathways in hippocampus. In particular, age-dependent androgens deficiency causes cognitive impairments. Several enzymes like protein kinase C (PKC) are involved in memory deficiency. Indeed, PKC regulatory process mediates α-secretase activation to cleave APP in β-amyloid cascade and tau proteins phosphorylation mecha...
