1 19278729 Stimulation with TNF, S. gordonii, PGN, LTA, or LP all resulted in increased surface expression of MHCII, CD80, and CD86, compared to unstimulated BM-DCs.
2 21188584 Bacterial cell wall polysaccharides, such as PGN, bind and activate TLR-2, NOD2 and PGRP on monocytes/macrophages and activate inflammation.
3 21450974 The objectives of this study were to examine the roles of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and transcription factors (nuclear factor-?B [NF-?B] and activating protein 1 [AP-1]) in peptidoglycan (PGN)-induced iNOS expression and NO production in macrophages.
4 21450974 PGN stimulates the activation of all three classes of MAPKs, extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38(mapk) in macrophages, albeit with differential activation kinetics.
5 21450974 Using a selective inhibitor of JNK (SP600125) and JNK1/2 small interfering RNA (siRNA) knocked-down macrophages, it was observed that PGN-induced iNOS and NO expression is significantly inhibited.
6 21450974 This suggested that JNK MAPK plays an essential role in PGN-induced iNOS expression and NO production.
7 21450974 In contrast, inhibition of the ERK pathway using PD98059 dose dependently enhanced PGN-induced iNOS expression and NO production.
8 21450974 These results indicate that the JNK MAPK positively regulate PGN-induced iNOS and NO expression by activating NF-?B and AP-1 transcription factors, whereas the ERK pathway plays a negative regulatory role via affecting NF-?B activity.
