71 18082135 In vitro studies have implicated the c-Jun amino terminal kinase (JNK) in cytokine-induced pancreatic injury leading to a loss of insulin production and hyperglycemia.
72 18296638 Overexpression of MKP-4 in 3T3-L1 cells inhibited ERK and JNK phosphorylation and, to a lesser extent, p38MAPK phosphorylation.
73 18296638 Overexpression of MKP-4 in the liver of ob/ob mice decreased ERK and JNK phosphorylation, leading to a reduction in fed and fasted glycemia, improved glucose intolerance, decreased expression of gluconeogenic and lipogenic genes, and reduced hepatic steatosis.
74 18296638 Thus, MKP-4 has a protective effect against the development of insulin resistance through its ability to dephosphorylate and inactivate crucial mediators of stress-induced insulin resistance, such as ERK and JNK, and increasing MKP-4 activity might provide a therapy for insulin-resistant disorders.
75 18252896 The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) generates pancreatic beta-cells apoptosis mainly through activation of the c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway.
76 18252896 The data establish the requirement of IB1 in the protective action of ex-4 against apoptosis elicited by IL-1 beta and highlight the GLP-1 mimetics as new potent inhibitors of the JNK signaling induced by cytokines.

78 18278435 Our results suggest that the imidazoline RX871024 causes death of highly proliferating insulin-secreting cells, putatively via augmentation of JNK activity, a finding that may impact on the possibility of using compounds of similar activity in the treatment of diabetes.
79 18551686 JNK phosphorylation was reduced by 126.7% with treatment of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (p < 0.001). 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D had no effect on FFA-induced ERK phosphorylation (p = 0.84). 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D improved the FFA-induced insulin resistance in muscle cells.

84 18818414 After transfection of a HEK293 cell system with wild-type TLR4, AGE-LDL activated a signaling pathway including p38 alpha, JNK, and ERK1 kinases and AP1, Elk1, and NF-kappaB transcription factors; the net result being increased cytokine production.
85 18948074 However, staurosporine, JNK, and calmodulin kinase have different effects on the induction of insulin expression.
86 19108709 Insulin-induced increases in c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase-1 (JNK1) activity were partially inhibited by m7E3 and eptifibatide whereas antagonism of alphavbeta3 integrins had no effect on insulin-induced increases in extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activity.
87 19066313 Specifically, glucose-regulated protein 78 (Grp78) and spliced X-box binding protein-1 (sXBP-1) mRNA levels were reduced, as were phosphorylated elongation initiation factor 2alpha (eIF2alpha) and stress kinase c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase 1 (JNK1) (all P values <0.05).
88 19073766 Heat treatment resulted in decreased activation of Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) and inhibitor of kappaB kinase (IKK-beta), stress kinases implicated in insulin resistance, and upregulation of HSP72 and HSP25, proteins previously shown to inhibit JNK and IKK-beta activation, respectively.
89 19208858 Furthermore, inhibitors of insulin signaling including soleus muscle glycogen synthase kinase-3 and JNK were reduced, while the insulin-sensitizing adipokine, adiponectin, alongside AMPK were increased.
90 19390610 While this interaction constitutes an adaptive response that allows managing energy resources under stress conditions, excessive JNK activity in adipose tissue of vertebrates has been found to cause insulin resistance, promoting type II diabetes.
91 19390610 We show that JNK signaling is required for metabolic homeostasis in flies and that this function is mediated by the Drosophila Lipocalin family member Neural Lazarillo (NLaz), a homologue of vertebrate Apolipoprotein D (ApoD) and Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP4).
92 19243309 Its partner, JIP1 (JNK-interacting protein 1), serves a scaffolding function that facilitates JNK1 activation by MKK4 [MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) kinase 4] and MKK7 (MAPK kinase 7).
93 19243309 For example, reduced insulin resistance and JNK activation are observed in JIP1-deficient mice.
94 19661066 Berberine down-regulated the activity of STAT1 and STAT4 through the suppression of p38 MAPK and JNK activation, and it controlled the stability of STAT4 through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.
95 19696094 There was no difference in hepatic microsomal production of acrolein from CY or urinary hydroxypropyl mercapturic acid output between WT and GSTP-null mice, but CY induced greater c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) and c-Jun, but not extracellular signal-regulated kinase or p38, activation in GSTP-null than in WT mice.
96 19713213 Inhibition of the p38 or JNK pathways with pharmacological inhibitors or dominant negative constructs blocked 12S-hydroxyeicosatetranoic acid-mediated degradation of ABCG1.
97 19713213 JNK2- and MKK3-, but not JNK1-deficient macrophages were resistant to the down-regulation of ABCG1 protein, reduction in efflux, and increase in serine phosphorylation by 12S-hydroxyeicosatetranoic acid.
98 19748889 Importantly, we discovered that GIP suppressed p38 MAPK and JNK via Akt-mediated changes in the phosphorylation state of the apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 in INS-1 cells and human islets, resulting in inhibition of its activity.
99 19683471 Kinases, including IKKbeta, JNK, ERK, mTOR, and S6K, activated by the inducers of insulin resistance induce uncontrolled IRS serine phosphorylation.
100 19696185 After 14 days of drug administration, there was a marked improvement in glucose tolerance; a reduction in insulin resistance; a reduction in macrophage infiltration in adipose tissue and in TNF-alpha, IL-6, and free fatty acids; accompanied by an improvement in insulin signaling in liver, muscle, and adipose tissue; and also a decrease in insulin receptor substrate-1 Ser(307) phosphorylation in JNK and inhibitor of NF-kappaB kinase (IKKbeta) activation in these tissues.
101 19837872 We found that PGE(2) time-dependently increased the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway activity.
102 19837872 JNK inhibition by the JNK-specific inhibitor SP600125 reversed PGE(2)-inhibited glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS).
103 19837872 PGE(2)-mediated JNK1 activation, through dephosphorylation of Akt and FOXO1, leads to nuclear accumulation of FOXO1 and nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of PDX1, finally resulting in defective GSIS in pancreatic beta-cells.
104 19952270 Palmitate treatment induced ER stress through a c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-dependent pathway because a selective JNK inhibitor blocked palmitate activation of the ER stress pathways eIF2 alpha and X-box binding protein-1.
105 19952270 Interestingly, JNK inhibition did not prevent the palmitate-mediated cleaved caspase-3 increase, an apoptotic marker, or insulin signaling attenuation.
106 19952270 However, pretreatment with the AMP kinase activator, aminoimidazole carboxamide ribonucleotide, blocked JNK phosphorylation and importantly prevented caspase-3 cleavage and restored insulin signaling during short-term exposure to palmitate.
107 19959167 These effects could be significantly attenuated by anti-RAGE neutralizing antibody, p38, ERK1/2 and JNK MAPK inhibitors as well as by candesartan.
108 20022934 In this study, we show that central inhibition of JNK activity potentiates the stimulatory effects of glucocorticoids on food intake and that this effect is abolished in mice whose agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons are degenerated.
109 20022934 JNK1-deficient mice feed more upon central administration of glucocorticoids, and glucocorticoid receptor nuclear immunoreactivity is enhanced in the AgRP neurons.
110 20022934 Our study shows that JNK1 is a novel regulator of feeding by antagonizing glucocorticoid function in AgRP neurons.
111 20022934 Paradoxically, JNK1 mutant mice feed less and lose more weight upon central administration of insulin, suggesting that JNK1 antagonizes insulin function in the brain.
112 19576699 Oxidant-provoked JNK activation induces nuclear export of the PDX-1 transcription factor, required for expression of glucokinase and other beta cell proteins.
113 20435848 Thus resistin directly induces eNOS downregulation through overproduction of ROS and activation of p38 and JNK in HCAECs.
114 20411335 Reports till date have consistently demonstrated JNK activation as a consequence of ER stress induction by IL-1beta in the pancreas.
115 20430894 Activation of the JNK signaling pathway can mediate many of the effects of stress on insulin resistance through inhibitory phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1.
116 20430894 Chronic oxidative stress resulted in increased levels of phosphorylated (activated) JNK in the cytoplasm, whereas acute oxidative stress led to redistribution of JNK-specific phosphatase MKP7 from the nucleus into the cytoplasm, reduction in cytoplasmic phospho-JNK, and a concurrent accumulation of phospho-JNK in the nucleus.
117 20430894 We propose that the contrasting effects of acute and chronic stress on insulin sensitivity are driven by changes in subcellular distribution of MKP7 and activated JNK.
118 20444941 We hypothesized that high glucose up-regulates PRR through protein kinase C (PKC)-Raf-ERK and PKC-c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-c-Jun signaling pathways.
119 20452983 Upon overexpression of PEA-15 in malignant glioma cells, JNK is potently activated.
120 20589738 Arsenite-induced 4E-BP1 mRNA and protein expressions were augmented by simultaneous treatment with a c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) specific inhibitor, SP600125.
121 20594416 Here, we demonstrate that cobalt chloride (CoCl(2)), a hypoxia mimetic, decreases EC-SOD and adiponectin in 3T3-L1 adipocytes by intracellular ROS-independent, but TNF-alpha and c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-dependent mechanisms.
122 20459875 This associated with the upregulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family enzymes p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation, as well as with the protection of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) and MAPK/ERK kinase (MEK1/2) activity loss induced by H2O2.
123 20716696 Activation of c-jun NH?-terminal kinase (JNK) was attenuated, and insulin signaling was improved in the liver of HFD mice.
124 19776174 Moreover, knocking down of MKP5 expression in old control mesangial cells resulted in JNK activation and MCP-1 production, a phenotype seen in aging diabetic mesangial cells.
125 19776174 Thus, OS may induce inflammation in mesangial cells by activating JNK through either a direct activation of JNK or indirectly by suppression of MKP5 activity.
126 20094041 Although silencing Jnk1 and/or Jnk2 prevented PA-induced inhibition of insulin signaling, it did not completely block decreased insulin-mediated glycogenesis, thus indicating JNK-independent pathways in the suppression of glycogenesis by PA.
127 20094041 Muscle-specific inhibition of JNK2 (or total JNK) improves the capacity of NEFA utilization and glycogenesis, and is a potential therapeutic target for improving systemic insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes (T2D).
128 20452774 Germ-line ablation of Jnk1 prevents both diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance.
129 20821828 EFE also attenuated LPS-induced phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) including extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38 MAPK and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK).
130 20824098 In the present study, we found MyD88-deficient mice fed a HFD had increased circulating levels of insulin, leptin and cholesterol, as well as liver dysfunction (increased induction of ALT levels, increased activation of JNK and cleavage of PARP), which were linked to the onset of severe diabetes.
131 20655383 The activity of JNK was reduced in the hippocampus of rosiglitazone-treated OLETF rats, correlating with a reduction in tau phosphorylation, however, which was not correlated with GSK3? activity.
132 20655383 In human tau-transfected SH-SY5Y neuronal cell line, reduction of tau phosphorylation was also associated with reduction of JNK activity, not of GSK3? activity.
133 20693579 Additionally, attempts to elucidate a possible mechanism underlying the UVA-mediated effects revealed that UVA induced migration inhibitory factor (MIF) gene expression, and this was mediated through activation of AP-1 (especially JNK and p42/44 MAPK) and nuclear factor-?B.
134 20573157 In the present study, AC16 human cardiomyocytes were cultured in the presence of 25 mmol/L glucose for 20, 30 and 60 min before being subjected to western blot analyses to determine MIF expression and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation.
135 20573157 In addition, AC16 cells were pretreated with 2.5 ?mol/L SP600125 (a JNK inhibitor), 40 ?mol/L (s,r)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-5-isoxazole acetic acid methyl ester (ISO-1; an MIF antagonist) or 0.1% dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO; vehicle) for 1 h prior to exposure to 25 mmol/L glucose and culture for 72 h, followed by annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry analysis.
136 20573157 Caspase 3 activity and phosphorylation of JNK were also analysed by western blotting. 3.
137 20573157 Furthermore, JNK phosphorylation was attenuated by inhibition of endogenous MIF. 4.
138 20686488 Furthermore, the H?O?-induced upregulation of angiotensinogen was inhibited by a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase (MEK) inhibitor and a c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor, but not inhibited by a p38 MAPK inhibitor.
139 20686488 These data suggest that the majority of angiotensinogen was induced in mesangial cells in glomeruli under pathological conditions such as diabetic nephropathy, and angiotensinogen expression in mesangial cells was mediated by H?O? and the subsequent activation of extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK)/JNK pathways.
140 20797423 Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrate that C/EBP? is recruited to the PEPCK promoter during ER stress and is reversed by pre-treatment with a JNK inhibitor that relieves ER stress.
141 20855122 Co-infusion of taurine was designed for the purpose of studying the effects of taurine on insulin sensitivity, oxidative stress, c-Jun NH-terminal kinase (JNK)1 activity and insulin signaling in livers of prolonged IH-infused rats.
142 20855122 IH also increased JNK1 activity and insulin receptor substrate 1/2 (IRS-1/2) serine phosphorylation, reduced insulin-stimulated IRS-1/2 tyrosine phosphorylation and Akt serine 473 phosphorylation, and induced hepatic insulin resistance.
143 20855122 Taurine co-infusion with IH prevented the rise in 8-isoprostaglandin and MDA, inhibited the activation of JNK1, and improved insulin signaling and insulin resistance in liver.
144 20855122 And this effect may be associated with the inhibition of JNK1 activation and the improvement of insulin signaling.
145 20888782 These findings, together with evidence for the involvement of JNK signaling in other manifestations of the metabolic syndrome such as obesity and insulin resistance, have suggested that JNK could be a novel therapeutic target in this disorder.
146 19305497 In TSC2-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts, in which mTORC1 is constitutively active, mTORC1 regulated the stimulation of JNK by ER stressors, but not in response to anisomycin, which activates JNK independent of ER stress.
147 19305497 Collectively, our findings suggest that mTORC1 mediates glucose amplification of lipotoxicity, acting through activation of ER stress and JNK.
148 19305497 Moreover, in stressed beta-cells mTORC1 inhibition decreases IRE1alpha protein expression and JNK activity without affecting ER protein load, suggesting that mTORC1 regulates the beta-cell stress response to glucose and fatty acids by modulating the synthesis and activity of specific proteins involved in the execution of the ER stress response.
149 21073655 Furthermore, high glucose concentrations led to apoptosis of ?-cells by activation of p38MAPK and p53, and dysfunction of ?-cells through phosphatase and tensih homolog (PTEN)-dependent Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation and protein kinase B (AKT/PKB) inhibition, which induced the translocation of forkhead box O1 and pancreatic duodenal homeobox-1, followed by reduced insulin expression and secretion.
150 21073655 In conclusion, NOX2-derived ROS could play a critical role in high glucose-induced ?-cell dysfunction through PTEN-dependent JNK activation and AKT inhibition.
151 21072680 It also diminished insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1, PI3K (p85), and serine phosphorylation of Akt without affecting the phosphorylation of IR, ERK1/2, P38, and JNK.
152 21209957 Our results show that palmitate and oleate (0.5 mmol/L, 48 h) induced JNK activation and AKT inhibition which resulted in decreased phosphorylation of FOXO1 following nuclear localization and the nucleocytoplasmic translocation of PDX-1, leading to the reducing of insulin and ultimately dysfunction of pancreatic NIT-1 cells.
153 21270260 Obesity is associated with increased activation of the c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) in several metabolic organs, including adipose tissue, liver, and skeletal muscle.
154 20919961 These changes correlated with suppression of c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation by Stz.
155 19737522 They maintain insulin sensitivity in liver and fat, without activation of the proinflammatory JNK pathway.
156 20144759 Here, we provide evidence that double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) can respond to nutrient signals as well as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and coordinate the activity of other critical inflammatory kinases such as the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) to regulate insulin action and metabolism.
157 18773087 Only when the parenchymal elements lacked JNK1 could we demonstrate a significant increase in systemic insulin sensitivity.
158 21134353 In conclusion, CR reduced ER stress and improved hepatic insulin action by suppressing JNK-mediated IRS-1 serine-phosphorylation in ob/ob mice.
159 20031167 Increased Bax, Daxx, and JNK mRNA expression and decreased Bcl X(L) expression in insulin-deficient rats, led to increased hepatocyte apoptosis than normal rats.
160 18174526 Increasing fatty acid concentrations (100-400 micromol/l palmitate or oleate) led to early Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) activation that preceded induction of ER stress markers and apoptosis.
161 18174526 Fatty acids induced nuclear localization of Foxo1 at 4 h when Akt activity was increased, indicating that FoxO1 activation was not mediated by JNK inhibition of Akt.
162 19996381 Here, we show that knockdown of SIRT1 in the mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cell line and in intraperitoneal macrophages broadly activates the JNK and IKK inflammatory pathways and increases LPS-stimulated TNFalpha secretion.
163 20225236 In the studies to elucidate underlying mechanisms, the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathways were found to be required for stimulation of MMP-1 by IL-6 and high glucose.
164 20225236 In conclusion, this study demonstrated that IL-6 and high glucose synergistically stimulated MMP-1 expression in mononuclear phagocytes via ERK and JNK cascades and c-Jun upregulation.
165 21090814 This approach was used to screen both the c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase Jnk-1 (involved in insulin signaling) and p38? (involved in the formation of TNF? and other cytokines).
166 21090814 Medicinal chemistry studies resulted in an improved Jnk-1 ligand able to increase adiponectin secretion in human adipocytes and increase insulin-induced protein kinase PKB phosphorylation in human hepatocytes, in similar fashion to Jnk-1 siRNA and to rosiglitazone treatment.
167 20068143 In THP-1 cells exposed to high glucose or fatty acids in vitro, we explored SIRT1 expression, p53 acetylation, Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) activation, NAD(+) levels, and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) expression.
168 21282367 The effect of chronic and acute exercise was investigated on insulin sensitivity, insulin signaling, TLR4 activation, c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) and I?B kinase (IKK?) activity, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) serum levels in tissues of DIO rats.
169 21282367 However, both acute and chronic exercise blunted TLR4 signaling in these tissues, including a reduction in JNK and IKK? phosphorylation and IRS-1 serine 307 phosphorylation, and, in parallel, improved insulin-induced IR, IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation, and Akt serine phosphorylation, and reduced LPS serum levels.
170 21295052 LAB significantly alleviated cytokine-induced phosphorylations of p38 and JNK in accordance with a decrease in cleaved caspase-3 activity in beta-cells.
171 21400856 These inflammatory mediators inhibit insulin signaling with several mechanisms, such as serine-phosphorylation of IRS-1, the induction of SOCS3 and the activation of JNK or NFkappaB signaling in insulin-target tissues.
172 21541314 Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) activation peaked at the lowest glucose concentration, in contrast to a progressive reduction in IRS2 protein and impairment of insulin receptor substrate signaling.
173 19605645 Here, we investigate the role of Abeta oligomer-induced c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation leading to phosphorylation and degradation of the adaptor protein insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1).
174 19605645 Here, we report Abeta oligomers significantly increased active JNK and phosphorylation of IRS-1 (Ser616) and tau (Ser422) in cultured hippocampal neurons, whereas JNK inhibition blocked these responses.
175 19605645 These data indicate JNK mediates Abeta oligomer inactivation of IRS-1 and phospho-tau pathology and that dietary treatment with fish oil/DHA, curcumin, or a combination of both has the potential to improve insulin/trophic signaling and cognitive deficits in AD.
176 21309063 Except for plasma adiponectin (~7 to ~15, oral hypoglycaemic agents versus ~6 to ~10, IT), changes in inflammatory markers in the circulation and in muscle (I?B?, super-oxidase dismutase 2, monocyte-chemo-attractant protein 1, p-ERK and JNK) were equivalent.
177 21088934 In addition, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activity and SREBP-1 expression were decreased (P < 0.05).
178 21215754 Expression of toll-like receptor-4 (TLR-4), phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and nuclear fraction of NF-?B p65 were also significantly lower in MIF KO hearts with I/R.
179 21447485 However, inhibition of the conversion of PA to lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) by calcium-independent phospholipase A? (iPLA?) inhibitors, such as bromoenol lactone (BEL) or palmitoyl trifluoromethyl ketone (PACOCF?), prevented insulin resistance by PA. iPLA? inhibitors or iPLA? small interfering RNA (siRNA) attenuated JNK or IRS-1 Ser307 phosphorylation by PA.
180 21460183 The increased superoxide content induces c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK1) kinase activity, which in turn affects FOXO localization through a compensatory dephosphorylation of Akt.
181 21076077 Depletion of PPARG using a lentivirally encoded short hairpin RNA abolishes the effect of rosiglitazone to suppress activation of JNKs and induction of the transcription factors EGR1 and FOS as well as the gonadotropin genes Lhb and Fshb.
182 21439910 We also found that oxLDL-IC stimulated collagen IV expression by engaging Fc gamma receptor (Fc?R) I and III, but not Fc?RII, and that p38 MAPK, JNK and PKC pathways were involved in collagen IV expression.
183 14633849 The addition of a dominant negative form of c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibited oxidative stress-induced PDX-1 translocation, suggesting an essential role of JNK in mediating this phenomenon.
184 15126294 Under diabetic conditions, JNK is activated by oxidative stress and involved in the suppression of insulin gene expression.
185 15514704 Furthermore, oxidative stress induces nucleocytoplasmic translocation of PDX-1 through activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway, which leads to suppression of insulin gene expression.
186 20393162 Furthermore, 16 h lipid exposure significantly reduced IkappaBalpha levels and increased phosphorylation of c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) and IRS1-Ser(312) in lean myotubes only (P < 0.05).
187 17983584 Activation of JNKs (mainly JNK1) in insulin target cells results in phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrates (IRSs) at serine and threonine residues that inhibit insulin signaling.
188 17983584 Here we used reciprocal adoptive transfer experiments to determine whether JNK1 in myeloid cells, such as macrophages, also contributes to insulin resistance and central adiposity.
189 20558816 Treatment of THP-1 cells with inhibitors of ERK, MAP kinase kinase (MEK), Ras, or caspase 3, but not p38 or JNK, significantly blunted TSE-induced apoptosis and MV generation.
190 21540183 In this study, we investigated SIRT1 phosphorylation and protein degradation in response to JNK1 activation in obese mice.
191 21540183 Mouse SIRT1 is phosphorylated by JNK1 at Ser-46 (Ser-47 in human SIRT1), which is one of the four potential residues targeted by JNK1.
192 21540183 In vivo, SIRT1 undergoes an extensive degradation in hepatocytes in obesity as a consequence of persistent activation of JNK1.
193 21694775 These data highlight visfatin's regulation by insulin and RSG, potentially acting through NF-?B and JNK mechanisms, with only rh IL-6 modestly affecting visfatin regulation.
194 21589925 Inhibitors for MEK1/2 (PD98059), JNK (SP600125) or AP1 (curcumin) significantly inhibited MCP-1-induced amylin mRNA expression.
195 21589925 EMSA showed that JNK and ERK1/2 were involved in MCP-1-induced AP1 activation.
196 21589925 These results suggest that MCP-1 induces murine amylin expression through AP1 activation mediated by ERK1/2 or JNK.
197 21589939 This is the first report demonstrating that insulin resistance in non-obese, normoglycemic subjects is associated with activation of the JNK pathway related to increased IMCL and higher total body and abdominal adipose stores.
198 21478152 Furthermore, resistin increased serine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS1) through the activation of the apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1/c-Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK) pathway, a module known to stimulate insulin resistance.
199 19841069 These data demonstrate that JNK1 in muscle contributes to peripheral insulin resistance in response to diet-induced obesity.
200 21428745 CD36 signaling pathways involving c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation and Toll-like receptors have been implicated in the induction of insulin resistance.
201 16814733 We reconciled these results by demonstrating that in mkp-1(-/-) mice, JNK activity was increased in the nucleus, but not the cytosol.
202 21743486 The phosphorylation of MYPT1, JNK and Smad2/3, as well as the protein levels of TGF?1 and c-Jun, were evaluated using Western blotting.
203 21697492 By using specific inhibitors of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), we demonstrated that HCV infection induced JNK activation via increased mitochondrial ROS production, resulting in decreased FoxO1 phosphorylation, FoxO1 nuclear accumulation, and, eventually, increased glucose production.
204 21697492 We also found that HCV NS5A mediated increased ROS production and JNK activation, which is directly linked with the FoxO1-dependent increased gluconeogenesis.
205 21826222 Despite JNK overexpression, cell viability was unaffected probably because of decreases in cleaved caspase3 as well as in SMAC/DIABLO and APP, involved in the induction and amplification of apoptosis.
206 21475143 Examined were the effects of intravenously infused glucose and/or lipids on proximal ER stress sensor activation (PERK, eIF2-?, ATF4, Xbox protein 1 (XBP1s)), unfolded protein response (UPR) proteins (GRP78, calnexin, calreticulin, protein disulphide isomerase (PDI), stress kinases (JNK, p38 MAPK) and insulin signaling (insulin/receptor substrate (IRS) 1/2 associated phosphoinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)) in rat liver.
207 21503675 These data suggest involvement of JNK activation through the TLR4 signaling pathway in palmitate-induced INS-1 beta cell death.
208 21472505 A specific p38 inhibitor rescued MIN6 cells from cholesterol-induced apoptosis, while JNK inhibitor failed, suggesting the importance of activation of p38 MAPK signaling in response to cholesterol.
209 21503966 Exposing myotubes to CSE resulted in the general activation of MAPKs such as p38, JNK, and ERK1/2.
210 21690090 These findings establish a novel mechanism of HBx-driven hepatic metabolic disorder that is modulated by iNOS-mediated activation of JNK.
211 21860531 Next, to evaluate the involvement of MAPKs in HG- or HM-induced ICAM-1 expression, we preincubated GE cells with the inhibitors for ERK, p38 or JNK 1h prior to the application of glucose or mannitol.
212 21860531 Both HG and HM induced ICAM-1 expression and phosphorylation of ERK1/2, p38 and JNK in GE cells.
213 21860531 Expression of ICAM-1 was significantly attenuated by inhibitors of ERK, p38 and JNK.
214 21860531 We conclude that activation of ERK1/2, p38 and JNK cascades may be involved in ICAM-1 expression in glomerular endothelial cells under diabetic conditions.
215 21680774 Similarly, inhibition of JNK1 kinase by expression of dominant-negative JNK1 also resulted in improved hepatic insulin signaling, indicating that IKK and JNK1 kinases contribute to critical illness-induced insulin resistance in liver.
216 19521344 When 3T3-L1 adipocytes were treated with the 12/15-LO products, 12-hydroxyeicosatetranoic acid (12(S)-HETE) and 12-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12(S)-HPETE), expression of proinflammatory cytokine genes, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and IL-12p40, was upregulated whereas anti-inflammatory adiponectin gene expression was downregulated. 12/15-LO products also augmented c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK-1) phosphorylation, a known negative regulator of insulin signaling.
217 18952128 The zinc finger-containing protein A20 is a negative regulator of TNF-induced JNK (c-Jun-N-terminal kinase) and NFkappaB (nuclear factor kappaB) signaling.
218 21937027 We also observed increases in c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation and tau hyperphosphorylation in response to palmitate.
219 21962514 Saturated FA, but not unsaturated FA, activate Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), which has been linked to obesity and insulin resistance in mice and humans.
220 21962514 Conversely, unsaturated FA with known beneficial effects on glucose metabolism prevent c-Src membrane partitioning and activation, which are dependent on its myristoylation, and block JNK activation.
221 16543409 Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)-3 was shown to inhibit IL-1-induced transcription and activation of NFkappaB and the MAPKs JNK and p38, but the mechanism is unknown.
222 18420486 We observed that overexpression of wild-type MEKK-1, but not of a kinase dead MEKK-1 mutant, resulted in potentiation of cytokine-induced JNK activation, inhibitor of kappaB (IkappaB) degradation, and cell death.
223 20004975 We found that insulin alone stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation of tyrosine kinases Lyn, Syk, Fyn, the adapter protein Gab2 (Grb2-associated binding protein 2), Akt and activates ERK, JNK and p38 kinase.
224 20004975 Furthermore, BMMC stimulated with antigen in the presence of insulin responded with enhanced protein kinase theta (PKCtheta) activity and increased JNK phosphorylation when compared to BMMC triggered with antigen alone.
225 20232313 Importantly, selective inhibition of c-Src, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) prior to exposure to C-IV prevented mesenchymal transition and effectively preserved insulin expression.
226 21939517 Retinal homogenates were used to detect SR levels and Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation by immunoblotting.
227 21873205 Sirt3 knockout mice exhibit decreased oxygen consumption and develop oxidative stress in skeletal muscle, leading to JNK activation and impaired insulin signaling.
228 21873205 This effect is mimicked by knockdown of Sirt3 in cultured myoblasts, which exhibit reduced mitochondrial oxidation, increased reactive oxygen species, activation of JNK, increased serine and decreased tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1, and decreased insulin signaling.
229 21984578 RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Small interfering RNAs were used to inhibit PTPN2, STAT1, Bim, and Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase 1 (JNK1) expression.
230 21984578 There was also an increase in Bim phosphorylation that was at least in part regulated by JNK1.
231 21984578 CONCLUSIONS The present findings suggest that local IFN production may interact with a genetic factor (PTPN2) to induce aberrant proapoptotic activity of the BH3-only protein Bim, resulting in increased ?-cell apoptosis via JNK activation and the intrinsic apoptotic pathway.
