The molecular machinery that mediates odor adaptation in the olfactory neurons is well documented in various animal species. However, types of adaptation that depend on neural circuits are mostly unexplored. We report here that the Ras-MAPK pathway is essential for such a type of odor adaptation, called early adaptation, in C. elegans. Early adaptation requires a pair of AIY interneurons, which...
pathways control all phases of tumor development and are critical in cancer therapy as they are largely responsible for the ability of tumor cells to survive or die in response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The p38 MAPK signaling pathway is one of the routes that cells use extensively to interpret extracellular signals and orchestrate appropriate responses. This pathway was originally chara...
We examined the activation of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38-MAPK) pathway by the G protein-coupled receptor agonists, endothelin-1 and phenylephrine in primary cultures of cardiac myocytes from neonatal rat hearts. Both agonists increased the phosphorylation (activation) of p38-MAPK by approximately 12-fold. A p38-MAPK substrate, MAPK-activated protein kinase 2 (MAPKAPK2), was a...
Orphan nuclear receptor Nur77 promotes apoptosis by targeting mitochondria through interaction with Bcl-2, an event that converts Bcl-2 from a survival to killer. However, how the Nur77-Bcl-2 apoptotic pathway is regulated remains largely unknown. In this study, we examined the regulation of the Nur77-Bcl-2 pathway by CCE9, a xanthone compound. Our results demonstrated that the apoptotic effect...
Purpose: Small molecule inhibitors of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, such as sorafenib, represent novel treatment options for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of our study was to identify downstream targets as biomarker candidates that are directly linked to the oncogenic MAPK pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma and correlate with inhibition of this pathway by mu...
BACKGROUND/AIM Protein-bound polysaccharide-K (PSK) is extracted from Coriolus versicolor (CM101) and is clinically used in combination therapy for gastrointestinal cancer and small-cell lung carcinoma. We have previously demonstrated that PSK induces apoptosis and inhibites proliferation of promyelomonocytic leukemia HL-60 cells, but the signaling pathway for this action remains to be elucidat...
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (p42/p44 MAPK, also called Erk2 and Erk1) are key mediators of signal transduction from the cell surface to the nucleus. We have previously shown that the activation of p42/p44 MAPK required for transduction of mitogenic signaling is associated with a rapid nuclear translocation of these kinases. However, the means by which p42 and p44 MAPK translocate into the...
Of the two common morphotypes of Mycobacterium avium, designated smooth transparent (SmT) or smooth opaque (SmO), the SmO morphotype is avirulent, whereas the SmT morphotype is virulent. The role of the host macrophage in determining these different virulence phenotypes was analyzed using an in vitro model of macrophage infection. Initial studies confirmed previous reports of the increased abil...
Combined MEK and ERK inhibition overcomes therapy-mediated pathway reactivation in RAS mutant tumors
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway dysregulation is implicated in >30% of all cancers, rationalizing the development of RAF, MEK and ERK inhibitors. While BRAF and MEK inhibitors improve BRAF mutant melanoma patient outcomes, these inhibitors had limited success in other MAPK dysregulated tumors, with insufficient pathway suppression and likely pathway reactivation. In this study w...
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK; i.e., Ras-Raf-Erk) pathway is an attractive target for therapeutic intervention in melanoma due to its integral role in the regulation of proliferation, invasiveness, and survival and the recent availability of pharmaceutical agents that inhibit the various kinases and GTPases that comprise the pathway. Genetic studies have identified activating mutat...
