124 7509451 In this report, we show that GH and EPO induce the tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins with molecular masses of 93 kDa and of 91 and 84 kDa, respectively, and that these proteins form DNA-binding complexes which recognize an enhancer that has features in common with several rapidly induced genes such as c-fos.
125 7512194 Essential role of tyrosine residues 1131, 1135, and 1136 of the insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) receptor in IGF-I action.
126 7512194 The insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) receptors are related heterotetramers consisting of two extracellular ligand-binding alpha-subunits and two transmembrane beta-subunits whose cytoplasmic domains exhibit tyrosine kinase activity.
127 7512194 These data suggest that the initial mechanisms of activation of the insulin and IGF-I receptors are very similar.
128 7512194 Additionally, we have identified two parameters, induction of c-fos gene expression and ornithine decarboxylase enzyme activity, which are extremely sensitive to IGF-I stimulation and which will be particularly useful in evaluating the biological activity of other mutated versions of the IGF-I receptor.

171 7544807 Dexamethasone enhances insulin-like growth factor-I effects on skeletal muscle cell proliferation.
172 7544807 IGF-I stimulation of cell proliferation and c-Fos expression in skeletal muscle cells is markedly enhanced by dexamethasone.
173 7544807 The effect of dexamethasone is not mediated by changes in IGF-binding proteins, as evidenced by similar effects of dexamethasone on the actions of insulin, PDGF-BB, and the IGF-I analogue long R3IGF-I.
174 7544807 In dexamethasone-treated cells, the levels of IGF-I receptor tyrosine phosphorylation and receptor-associated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity were increased.
175 7544807 In contrast, dexamethasone decreased both tyrosine phosphorylation and expression of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) and IRS-1-associated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity.
176 7544807 Potentiation of IGF-I action correlates with increased IGF-I receptor-associated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity and tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc, but appears to be independent of activation of the IRS-1/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling pathway.
177 7656336 Previously we reported that the administration of human (h) lymphotoxin (h-LT) markedly protected NOD mice from insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) partly by affecting the generation phase of anti-islet effector cells, probably in the thymus.

197 7679898 In addition to a TATA box and a CAAT box, multiple putative cis-regulatory elements, including an AP-1, an AP-2 and a binding site for progesterone receptor are present in the promoter region.
198 7752577 The early response genes, c-fos, c-jun, and c-myc encode proteins that regulate gene transcription, thus influencing the cellular responses to a stimulus.

214 7762070 Glucocorticoids (GC) inhibit IL-2 gene transcription by interfering with the binding of the nuclear factor activator protein-1 on the IL-2 promoter.
215 7762070 Calcineurin, a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase, is an essential component of the T cell antigen receptor signal transduction pathway leading to IL-2 gene transcription.
216 7869038 Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II downregulates both calcineurin and protein kinase C-mediated pathways for cytokine gene transcription in human T cells.
217 7869038 Engagement of the T cell receptor for antigen activates phospholipase C resulting in an increase in intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) and activation of protein kinase C (PKC).
218 7869038 Recent studies have identified calcineurin as a key enzyme for interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-4 promoter activation.
219 7869038 The inhibitory effect of CaM-K II on IL-2 promoter was associated with decreased transcription of its AP-1 and NF-AT transactivating pathways.
220 7869038 Similar results were obtained when a construct containing the IL-4 promoter also was used. gamma B*CaM-K also downregulated the activation of AP-1 in response to transfection with a constitutively active mutant of PKC or stimulation with PMA.

226 8036746 A c-fos/c-jun-like factor and the pituitary-specific factor Pit-1 are both necessary to mediate induction of the human thyrotropin beta promoter.
227 8049217 We found that, despite the deletion of most of the tyrosine kinase domain and all of the C-terminal domain of the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor, the delta 1000 mutant receptors were processed normally and were transported to the plasma membrane where they bind insulin with high affinity.
228 8049217 However, they fail to undergo insulin-stimulated internalization, do not regulate the phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1, and are unable to mediate an insulin-stimulated increase in DNA synthesis and c-jun and c-fos expression.
229 8078487 Gastrin-releasing peptide receptor-induced internalization, down-regulation, desensitization, and growth: possible role for cyclic AMP.
230 8078487 Stimulation of the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRP-R) in Swiss 3T3 cells resembles that of a number of other recently described G protein-coupled receptors, insofar as both the phospholipase C and adenylyl cyclase signal transduction pathways are activated.
231 8078487 We have found that BALB/3T3 fibroblasts transfected with the coding sequence for the GRP-R are pharmacologically indistinguishable from native receptor-expressing cells and activate phospholipase C in a manner similar to that of the native receptor but fail to increase cAMP in response to bombesin; thus, they may be useful cells to explore the role of activation of each pathway in altering cell and receptor function.
232 8078487 G protein activation, as determined by evaluation of agonist-induced activation of phospholipase C and by analysis of the effect of guanosine-5'-(beta,gamma-imido)triphosphate on GRP-R binding affinity, was indistinguishable.
233 8078487 Quiescent Swiss 3T3 cells treated with bombesin rapidly increased c-fos mRNA levels and [3H]thymidine incorporation, whereas both effects were potentiated by forskolin.
234 8078487 The specific protein kinase A inhibitor H-89 blocked increases in c-fos levels and [3H]thymidine incorporation induced by low concentrations of bombesin.
235 8078487 These data suggest that bombesin-stimulated increases in cellular levels of cAMP appear not to be an important mediator of GRP-R internalization, down-regulation, or desensitization but do play an important role in bombesin-induced mitogenesis.

237 8078487 Stimulation of the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRP-R) in Swiss 3T3 cells resembles that of a number of other recently described G protein-coupled receptors, insofar as both the phospholipase C and adenylyl cyclase signal transduction pathways are activated.
238 8078487 We have found that BALB/3T3 fibroblasts transfected with the coding sequence for the GRP-R are pharmacologically indistinguishable from native receptor-expressing cells and activate phospholipase C in a manner similar to that of the native receptor but fail to increase cAMP in response to bombesin; thus, they may be useful cells to explore the role of activation of each pathway in altering cell and receptor function.
239 8078487 G protein activation, as determined by evaluation of agonist-induced activation of phospholipase C and by analysis of the effect of guanosine-5'-(beta,gamma-imido)triphosphate on GRP-R binding affinity, was indistinguishable.
240 8078487 Quiescent Swiss 3T3 cells treated with bombesin rapidly increased c-fos mRNA levels and [3H]thymidine incorporation, whereas both effects were potentiated by forskolin.
241 8078487 The specific protein kinase A inhibitor H-89 blocked increases in c-fos levels and [3H]thymidine incorporation induced by low concentrations of bombesin.
242 8078487 These data suggest that bombesin-stimulated increases in cellular levels of cAMP appear not to be an important mediator of GRP-R internalization, down-regulation, or desensitization but do play an important role in bombesin-induced mitogenesis.

244 8226861 An AP-1-like factor and the pituitary-specific factor Pit-1 are both necessary to mediate hormonal induction of human thyrotropin beta gene expression.
245 8226861 The human thyrotropin beta (hTSH beta) gene is inducible by various agents including thyrotropin-releasing hormone, phorbol esters, or the adenylyl cyclase activator forskolin.
246 8226861 Following stimulation by phorbol esters, forskolin, or TRH, the TGGGTCA-specific factor acts together with the pituitary-specific transcription factor Pit-1 (or GHF-1) bound to upstream sequences at -128 to -61 to mediate the induction of the hTSH beta promoter.
247 8226861 The induction requires that both factors bind to their own binding sites, but Pit-1 neither increases the binding of the TGGGTCA-specific factor to its target sequences nor associates with this factor to form a heterodimer.
248 8226861 The TGGGTCA-specific factor is present in three cell lines tested and is composed of protein(s) immunologically related to c-Jun and c-Fos but not to the CRE-binding protein, CREB.
249 8226861 Based upon the results of this study, we propose a model in which the TGGGTCA-specific AP-1-like factor functionally cooperates with the tissue-specific factor Pit-1 to activate the hTSH beta gene.

298 8423810 Enhancer-dependent transcription of the epsilon-globin promoter requires promoter-bound GATA-1 and enhancer-bound AP-1/NF-E2.
299 8423810 Deletion or mutation of the GATA-1 sites in either the human beta-globin locus control region DNase-hypersensitive site II enhancer or the chicken beta A/epsilon-globin enhancer did not diminish the ability of the enhancers to interact with the promoter.
300 8423810 In contrast, mutation of the AP-1/NF-E2 sites in these enhancers resulted in elimination of enhancement.
301 8423810 Thus, GATA-1 regulates the response of the epsilon-globin gene to enhancers through a specific site in the promoter and requires enhancer AP-1/NF-E2 binding to transduce the enhancer effect on transcription.

310 8468460 Nuclear transcription of early activation genes (c-fos, c-jun, and c-myc) as determined by nuclear run-off assays, and steady state mRNA levels and/or protein products of intermediate activation genes (IL-2, IL-2R alpha, IL-2R beta, and transferrin receptor) were not affected by TGF-beta 1.
311 8468460 However, TGF-beta 1 inhibited the IL-2-dependent proliferation of Con A lymphoblasts by -50%.
312 8468460 TGF-beta 1 also inhibited the IL-2-dependent phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene product, which plays an important role in cell cycle progression.
313 8468460 These results suggest that TGF-beta 1 inhibits T cell proliferation by down-regulating predominantly IL-2-mediated proliferative signals.

350 8544845 To evaluate the potential for regulation of the insulin receptor substrate IRS-1, we have cloned the mouse IRS-1 gene, identified its promoter, and analyzed promoter activity in the basal state and in response to stimulation.
351 8544845 The 5'-region of the mouse IRS-1 gene lacks typical CAAT and TATA boxes but contains nine potential Sp1 binding sites consistent with a housekeeping gene.
352 8544845 The 5'-region of the IRS-1 gene also has significant regions of homology with the promoters of the progesterone receptor gene, the insulin-like growth factor I receptor gene, and the androgen receptor gene.
353 8544845 By gel shift assay, a nuclear factor was identified in CHO cells which binds to -1606 and -1586 sequence in the negative regulatory element and appears to be distinct from C/EBP, CREB, and AP-1.
354 8544845 Insulin also decreased IRS-1 protein by approximately 60% within 9 h but did so without altering IRS-1 mRNA levels or chloramphenicol acetyl transferase activity.
355 8544845 Thus, both insulin and dexamethasone down-regulate IRS-1 expression at the posttranscriptional level; with insulin this is probably due to an effect on protein half-life, whereas with dexamethasone the effect is due to a change in the half-life of IRS-1 mRNA.
356 8634145 Promoters for the human beta-hexosaminidase genes, HEXA and HEXB.
357 8634145 Human lysosomal beta-hexosaminidases are encoded by two genes, HEXA and HEXB, specifying an alpha- and a beta-subunit, respectively.
358 8634145 The subunits dimerize to form beta-hexosaminidase A (alpha beta), beta-hexosaminidase B (beta beta), and beta-hexosaminidase S (alpha alpha).
359 8634145 Mutations in either the HEXA gene or HEXB gene lead to an accumulation of GM2 ganglioside in neurons, resulting in the severe neurodegenerative disorders termed the GM2 gangliosidoses.
360 8634145 This area contained two potential estrogen response element half-sites as well as potential binding sites for transcription factors NF-E1 and AP-2.
361 8634145 By performing scanning mutagenesis on a 60-bp region within the 150-bp HEXB construct, we defined an essential promoter element of 12 bp that contained two potential AP-1 sites.
362 8634145 The mouse Hexa and Hexb 5'-flanking sequences were found to contain regions similar in sequence, location, and activity to the essential promoter elements defined in the cognate human genes.
363 8634145 No sequence similarity was found, however, between 5'-flanking regions of the HEXA and HEXB genes.
364 8634145 These essential promoter elements represent potential sites for HEXA and HEXB mutations that could alter enzyme expression in Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases, respectively.

451 9032279 Embryonic fibroblasts and 3T3 cell lines derived from IRS-1-deficient embryos exhibit no IGF-1-stimulated IRS-1 phosphorylation or IRS-1-associated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) activity but exhibit normal phosphorylation of IRS-2 and Shc and normal IRS-2-associated PI 3-kinase activity.
452 9032279 IRS-1 deficiency results in a 70 to 80% reduction in IGF-1-stimulated cell growth and parallel decreases in IGF-1-stimulated S-phase entry, PI 3-kinase activity, and induction of the immediate-early genes c-fos and egr-1 but unaltered activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK 1 and ERK 2.

454 9032279 Increasing the level of IRS-2 in these cells by using a retrovirus reconstitutes IGF-1 activation of PI 3-kinase and immediate-early gene expression to the same degree as expression of IRS-1; however, IRS-2 overexpression has only a minor effect on IGF-1 stimulation of cell cycle progression.

473 9032395 The Rep proteins of adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV) are known to bind to Rep recognition sequences (RRSs) in the AAV inverted terminal repeats (ITRs), the AAV p5 promoter, and the preferred AAV integration site in human chromosome 19, called AAVS1.
474 9032395 We used the 16-mer core sequences of the RRSs in the AAV ITRs and AAVS1 separately as query sequences and identified 18 new RRSs in or flanking the genes coding for the following: tyrosine kinase activator protein 1 (TKA-1); colony stimulating factor-1; insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP-2); histone H2B.1; basement membrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan, also known as perlecan; the AF-9 gene product, which is involved in the chromosomal translocation t (9:11)(p22:q23); the betaB subunit of the hormone known as inhibin; interleukin-2 enhancer binding factor; an endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment resident protein called p63; a global transcription activator (hSNF2L); the beta-actin repair domain; a retinoic acid-inducible factor, also known as midkine; a breast tumor autoantigen; a growth-arrest- and DNA-damage-inducible protein called gadd45; the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor called KIP2, which inhibits several G1 cyclin-cyclin-dependent kinase complexes; and the hereditary breast and ovarian cancer gene (BRCA1).
475 9112668 Cultured RGCs synthesized and released VEGF and this VEGF production was markedly enhanced by hypoxia through the activation of AP-1 promotor gene.
476 9112668 Retinal capillary endothelial cells (RECs) expressed flt-1 mRNA.
477 9112668 Therefore, conditioned media harvested from RGCs under hypoxic condition significantly accelerated not only thymidine incorporation by RECs but also in vitro angiogenesis, namely, the formation of capillary-like tubes by RECs in type I collagen gels.
478 9112668 These findings indicate that VEGF expressed by RGCs under hypoxia or diabetic condition plays an integral role in the maintenance of retinal circulation via the VEGF-VEGF receptor (flt-1) interaction.
479 9165048 Mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathways are not sufficient for insulin-like growth factor I-induced mitogenesis and tumorigenesis.
480 9165048 Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and insulin are known to activate a signaling cascade involving ras --> kappa raf-1 --> mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase (MEK) --> p42/p44 MAP kinase (Erk-1 and -2).
481 9165048 Recent reports suggest that activation of this ras/MAP kinase pathway is involved in mitogenesis and c-fos transcription but is not required for insulin action on metabolic processes such as glycogen synthesis, lipogenesis, and GLUT-4-mediated glucose transport.
482 9165048 To further characterize the role of these tyrosines in IGF-I receptor function, we have used three distinct approaches to examine the ras/MAP kinase pathway in IGF-I-induced mitogenesis and tumorigenesis in NIH-3T3 cells overexpressing wild-type and mutated IGF-I receptors: 1) tyrosine phosphorylation of the MAP kinases Erk-1 and -2; 2), mobility shifts indicative of MAP kinase phosphorylation; and 3) in vitro MAP kinase activation.
483 9165048 By each method we show that the IGF-I-induced MAP kinase phosphorylation/activation and PI 3-kinase activation, are not different between cells overexpressing wild-type IGF-I receptors and cells carrying IGF-I receptors having tyrosine motifs replaced at positions 1250 and 1251.
484 9165048 We conclude that mitogenic and tumorigenic signals involving tyrosine residues in the C-terminal domain of the IGF-I-receptor include pathways other than the MAP kinase and PI 3-kinase pathways.

486 9169593 Insulin regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK), mitogen-activated protein kinase and casein kinase in the cell nucleus: a possible role in the regulation of gene expression.
487 9169593 After insulin receptor activation, many cytoplasmic enzymes, including mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, MAP kinase kinase (MEK) and casein kinase II (CKII) are activated, but exactly how insulin signalling progresses to the nucleus remains poorly understood.
488 9169593 In Chinese hamster ovary cells overexpressing human insulin receptors [CHO(Hirc)], MEK, CKII and the MAP kinases ERK I and ERK II can be detected by immunoblotting in the nucleus, as well as in the cytoplasm, in the unstimulated state.
489 9169593 Nuclear localization of MAP kinase is also observed in 3T3-F442A adipocytes, NIH-3T3 cells and Fao hepatoma cells, whereas MEK is found in the nucleus only in Fao and CHO cells.
490 9169593 Insulin treatment for 5-30 min induces a translocation of MEK from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, whereas the MAP kinases and CKII are not translocated into the nucleus in response to insulin during this period.
491 9169593 However, nuclear MAP kinase and CKII activities increase by 2-3-fold within 1-10 min after stimulation with insulin.
492 9169593 By using gel-shift assays, it has been shown that insulin also stimulates nuclear protein binding to an AP-1 site with kinetics similar to MEK translocation and MAP kinase and CKII activation.
493 9169593 Treatment of the extracts in vitro with protein phosphatase 2A or treatment of the intact cells with 5, 6-dichloro-1-beta-d-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole, a cell-permeable inhibitor of CKII, almost completely blocks the insulin-induced DNA-binding activity, whereas incubation of cells with a MEK inhibitor produces only a slight decrease.
494 9169593 The latter is true of CKII, which seems to regulate the binding of nuclear proteins to the AP-1 site, possibly by phosphorylation of AP-1 transcription factors.

500 9169593 However, nuclear MAP kinase and CKII activities increase by 2-3-fold within 1-10 min after stimulation with insulin.
501 9169593 By using gel-shift assays, it has been shown that insulin also stimulates nuclear protein binding to an AP-1 site with kinetics similar to MEK translocation and MAP kinase and CKII activation.

503 9169593 The latter is true of CKII, which seems to regulate the binding of nuclear proteins to the AP-1 site, possibly by phosphorylation of AP-1 transcription factors.
504 9235445 Inhibition of inflammatory response is primarily mediated via the glucocorticoid receptor and the two transcription factors, AP-1 and NF kappa B, which are of crucial importance for the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and other genes involved in the inflammatory process.
505 9256480 Up-regulation of mRNAs for fetal type myosin heavy chain, atrial natriuretic factor, c-fos, transforming growth factor, and collagens was also observed.
506 9325180 The functional leptin receptor is also present in pancreatic islets and we now demonstrate that a commonly used clonal insulin secreting beta-cell line, RINm5F, expresses high levels of the Ob-Rb mRNA.
507 9325180 Leptin causes an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of a number of intracellular proteins and a dose related (10 nM-200 nM) increase in expression of the immediate-early gene, c-fos.
508 9332366 Other potential transcription factor binding sites included NF-E1, HNF-5, P2II and AP-1.
509 9421427 Aberrant expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigens is associated with autoimmune thyroid disease; aberrant expression duplicating the autoimmune state can be induced by interferon-gamma (IFNgamma).
510 9421427 The upper or basal complex also includes c-Fos, Fra-2, Ets-2, and Oct-1.
511 9421427 A dominant protein that distinguishes the IFNgamma-increased lower complex is CREB-binding protein (CBP), a coactivator of cAMP response element-binding proteins.
512 9421427 We, therefore, show that aberrant expression of MHC class II in thyrocytes, induced by IFNgamma, is associated with the induction or increased formation of a novel protein-DNA complex and that its formation as well as aberrant class II expression are suppressed by MMI, a drug used to treat human and experimental autoimmune thyroid disease.
513 9440807 Thus, iodide decreases the formation of Mod-1, an enhancer A complex involving the p50 subunit of NF-kappa B and a c-fos family member, fra-2, which was previously shown to be important in the suppression of class I levels by hydrocortisone.
514 9440807 Unlike hydrocortisone, iodide also increases the formation of a complex with enhancer A, which we show, in antibody shift experiments, is a heterodimer of the p50 and p65 subunits of NF-kappa B.
515 9440807 Second, the effect of iodide on class I RNA levels and on enhancer A complex formation with Mod-1 and the p50/p65 heterodimer is inhibited by agents that block the inositol phosphate, Ca++, phospholipase A2, arachidonate signal transduction pathway: acetylsalicylate, indomethacin, and 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid.
516 9440807 Interestingly, iodide can also decrease formation of the Mod-1 complex and increase formation of the complex with the p50/p65 subunits of NF-kappa B when the NF-kappa B enhancer sequence from the Ig kappa light chain, rather than enhancer A, is used as probe; and both actions mimic the action of a phorbol ester.
517 9462471 Recent studies suggest that Alzheimer's disease and non-insulin-dependent (type 2) diabetes mellitus may share a common cell death mechanism, related to the toxicity of beta-amyloid (Abeta) and amylin, respectively.
518 9462471 The cell death caused by human amylin was determined to be predominantly of an apoptotic nature, with a possibility of a portion of necrotic cell death, which was not accompanied by increased expression of c-Jun or c-Fos inducible transcription factors.

523 9648831 A gene candidate approach revealed that mRNA levels of the oncogenes c-fos and c-jun were equivalently expressed in insulinoma and islet cells, as was the mRNA for the mitogenic signal transduction molecule insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1.
524 9648831 However, in contrast to that of IRS-1, IRS-2 gene expression was 60- to 70-fold higher in the insulinoma tissue compared with islets, which was reflected at the protein as well as the mRNA level.
525 9648831 This serum-stimulated DNA synthesis was prevented by inhibitors of tyrosine protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase activities, as well as the activation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and p70S6K.
526 9648831 Moreover, serum also activated MAP-kinase (erk-1 and erk-2 isoforms) and 70 kD S6 kinase.
527 9703334 To examine abnormal activities in transcription factors as a possible cause of this altered gene regulation, we studied the activity of two redox-sensitive transcription factors--nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and activating protein-1 (AP-1)--and the change in the mRNA content of heme oxygenase-1, which is regulated by these transcription factors in the cardiac tissues of rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes.
528 9703334 Increased activity of NF-kappaB and AP-1 but not nuclear transcription-activating factor, as determined by an electrophoretic mobility shift assay, was found in the hearts of 4-week diabetic rats.
529 9703334 Insulin treatment also consistently prevented changes in the mRNA content of heme oxygenase-1.
530 9703334 The oral administration of an antioxidant, probucol, to these diabetic rats partially prevented the elevation of the activity of both NF-kappaB and AP-1, and normalized the mRNA content of heme oxygenase-1 without producing any change in the plasma glucose concentration.

547 9712898 Tumor necrosis factor signaling to stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK)/Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38.
548 9712898 Germinal center kinase couples TRAF2 to mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase kinase 1 and SAPK while receptor interacting protein associates with a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase upstream of MKK6 and p38.
549 9712898 Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) elicits a diverse array of inflammatory responses through engagement of its type-1 receptor (TNFR1).
550 9712898 Many of these responses require de novo gene expression mediated by the activator protein-1 (AP-1) transcription factor.
551 9712898 We investigated the mechanism by which TNFR1 recruits the stress-activated protein kinases (SAPKs) and the p38s, two mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) families that together regulate AP-1.
552 9712898 We show that the human SPS1 homologue germinal center kinase (GCK) can interact in vivo with the TNFR1 signal transducer TNFR-associated factor-2 (TRAF2) and with MAPK/ERK kinase kinase 1 (MEKK1), a MAPK kinase kinase (MAPKKK) upstream of the SAPKs, thereby coupling TRAF2 to the SAPKs.
553 9712898 Receptor interacting protein (RIP) is a second TNFR signal transducer which can bind TRAF2.
554 9712898 We show that RIP activates both p38 and SAPK; and that TRAF2 activation of p38 requires RIP.
555 9712898 We also demonstrate that the RIP noncatalytic intermediate domain associates in vivo with an endogenous MAPKKK that can activate the p38 pathway in vitro.
556 9712898 Thus, TRAF2 initiates SAPK and p38 activation by binding two proximal protein kinases: GCK and RIP.
557 9712898 GCK and RIP, in turn, signal by binding MAPKKKs upstream of the SAPKs and p38s.

569 9841495 Elevated glucose increases mesangial cell sensitivity to insulin-like growth factor I.
570 9841495 To determine the effects of glucose on insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I)-induced mesangial cell (MC) proliferation, we have examined the relationships between IGF binding protein 2 (IGFBP-2) secretion and proliferation in murine MCs (MMCs).
571 9841495 IGFBP-2 secretion was stimulated by IGF-I in NG but was unaltered in HG.
572 9841495 Insulin treatment yielded similar results at 10-fold higher doses, indicating that this response is IGF-I receptor dependent.
573 9841495 MMCs in HG displayed increased IGF-I-stimulated insulin receptor substrate-1/2 phosphorylation and activator protein-1 transcriptional activity compared with NG controls.
574 9841495 Accordingly, although IGF-I was not proliferative in NG, it increased [3H]thymidine incorporation and cell number in HG to an extent proportional to the decrease in IGFBP-2.
575 9841495 Thus hyperglycemia, as seen in diabetes, may increase MC IGF-I sensitivity by reducing IGFBP-2 expression, in turn increasing its proliferative and secretory responses and contributing to the development of diabetic glomerulosclerosis.

579 9888869 PD 98059 at 30 micromol/L reduced Ang II-induced MAPK activity by 69% (P<0.01).

648 9931133 We examined whether the culture of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) under hyperglycemic conditions to simulate the diabetic state can lead to increased activation of key growth- and stress-related kinases, such as the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), in the basal state and in response to Ang II.
649 9931133 Treatment of porcine VSMC for short time periods (0.5 to 3 hours) with high glucose (HG; 25 mmol/L) markedly increased the activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) and c-Jun/N-terminal kinase (JNK) relative to cells cultured in normal glucose (NG; 5.5 mmol/L). p38 MAPK also was activated by HG, and this effect remained sustained for several hours.
650 9931133 Ang II treatment increased the activity of all 3 families of MAPKs.
651 9931133 Ang II-induced ERK activation was potentiated nearly 2-fold in cells treated with HG for 0.5 hour.
652 9931133 However, Ang II-induced JNK was not altered.
653 9931133 In VSMC cultured for 24 hours with HG, Ang II and HG displayed an additive response on p38 MAPK activity.

700 10078562 MAPK, also termed extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), was activated by mechanical stretch in time- and intensity-dependent manners.
701 10078562 Stretch-induced activation of ERK was inhibited by herbimycin A, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, but not by GF109203X or calphostin C, the inhibitors of protein kinase C.
702 10078562 Mechanical stretch also enhanced DNA-binding activity of AP-1, and this enhancement was inhibited by PD98059, an inhibitor of MAPK or ERK kinase (MEK).
703 10201899 p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase mediates signal integration of TCR/CD28 costimulation in primary murine T cells.
704 10201899 In contrast to that reported for human Jurkat T cells, we found that p38 MAPK, but not Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), is weakly activated upon stimulation with either anti-CD3 or anti-CD28 in murine thymocytes and splenic T cells.
705 10201899 However, p38 MAPK is activated strongly and synergistically by either CD3/CD28 coligation or PMA/Ca2+ ionophore stimulation, which mimics TCR-CD3/CD28-mediated signaling.
706 10201899 Activation of p38 MAPK correlates closely with the stimulation of T cell proliferation.
707 10201899 T cell proliferation and production of IL-2, IL-4, and IFN-gamma induced by both CD3 and CD3/CD28 ligation and the nuclear expression of the c-Jun and ATF-2 proteins are each blocked by the p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580.
708 10201899 Our findings demonstrate that p38 MAPK 1) plays an important role in signal integration during costimulation of primary mouse T cells, 2) may be involved in the induction of c-Jun activation and augmentation of AP-1 transcriptional activity, and 3) regulates whether T cells enter a state of functional unresponsiveness.
709 10329981 Differential regulation of MAP kinase, p70(S6K), and Akt by contraction and insulin in rat skeletal muscle.
710 10329981 To study the effects of contractile activity on mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase), p70 S6 kinase (p70(S6K)), and Akt kinase signaling in rat skeletal muscle, hindlimb muscles were contracted by electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve for periods of 15 s to 60 min.
711 10329981 Contraction resulted in a rapid and transient activation of Raf-1 and MAP kinase kinase 1, a rapid and more sustained activation of MAP kinase and the 90-kDa ribosomal S6 kinase 2, and a dramatic increase in c-fos mRNA expression.
712 10329981 Contraction also resulted in an apparent increase in the association of Raf-1 with p21Ras, although stimulation of MAP kinase signaling occurred independent of Shc, IRS1, and IRS2 tyrosine phosphorylation or the formation of Shc/Grb2 or IRS1/Grb2 complexes.
713 10329981 Insulin was considerably less effective than contraction in stimulating the MAP kinase pathway.
714 10329981 However, insulin, but not contraction, increased p70(S6K) and Akt activities in the muscle.
715 10329981 These results demonstrate that contraction-induced activation of the MAP kinase pathway is independent of proximal steps in insulin and/or growth factor-mediated signaling, and that contraction and insulin have discordant effects with respect to the activation of the MAP kinase pathway vs. p70(S6K) and Akt.
716 10329981 Of the numerous stimulators of MAP kinase in skeletal muscle, contractile activity emerges as a potent and physiologically relevant activator of MAP kinase signaling, and thus activation of this pathway is likely to be an important molecular mechanism by which skeletal muscle cells transduce mechanical and/or biochemical signals into downstream biological responses.

751 10373474 Selective effects on activator protein-1 expression may explain the quantitative difference in insulin and phorbol ester action.
752 10373474 To identify the cis-acting elements that mediate the stimulatory effect of insulin on collagenase-1 (matrix metalloproteinase-1) gene transcription a series of collagenase-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) fusion genes were transiently transfected into HeLa cells.
753 10373474 The AP-1 motif appears to be a target for insulin signaling because it is sufficient to mediate an effect of insulin on the expression of a heterologous fusion gene, whereas the data suggest that the Ets motif acts to enhance the effect of insulin mediated through the AP-1 motif.
754 10373474 Moreover, phorbol esters were a much more potent inducer of collagenase-CAT gene transcription than insulin, a difference that may be explained by selective effects of insulin and phorbol esters on AP-1 expression.

783 10548885 Hereditary tumors may be caused by activation of an oncogene (e.g., RET) or, more often, by inactivation of a tumor suppressor gene (e.g., P53, MEN1).
784 10548885 Germline MEN1 testing does not have the urgency of RET testing in MEN2a and 2b, as MEN1 testing does not commonly lead to an important intervention.

786 10549054 Transrepression results from the inhibitory interaction between the GR and other transcription factors like AP-1 and NF-kappa B.
787 10549054 Since AP-1 and NF-kappa B DNA binding sites have been mapped to the promoter regions of many genes coding for proinflammatory mediators (IL-1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 13, TNF-alpha, RANTES, Eotaxin, GM-CSF, metalloproteinases, ICAM-1 ...), this interaction may be an important aspect of the GC anti-inflammatory properties.

790 10585578 Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent angiogenic polypeptide that activates 2 distinct high-affinity tyrosine kinase receptors, flk-1/KDR and flt-1.
791 10585578 In the present study, we characterized the expression of VEGF and its receptors flk-1/KDR and flt-1 in the normal human pancreas and in human pancreatic cancer tissues and cell lines.
792 10585578 VEGF, flk-1/KDR and flt-1 mRNA levels were elevated in cancer tissues compared with normal pancreas.
793 10585578 By immuno-histochemistry, VEGF, flk-1/KDR and flt-1 immunoreactivity co-localized in many of the cancer cells within the tumor mass.
794 10585578 Three (AsPC-1, Capan-1 and MIAPaCa-2) of 6 pancreatic cancer cell lines expressed flk-1/KDR mRNA and protein, and 4 cell lines (AsPC-1, Capan-1, T3M4 and PANC-1) expressed flt-1 mRNA transcripts.
795 10585578 VEGF also enhanced mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation and c-fos induction in Capan-1 cells, whereas the MAPK kinase inhibitor PD98059 abolished the growth-stimulatory effect of VEGF.
796 10585578 These data indicate that human pancreatic cancers have the capacity to over-express VEGF and its receptors and suggest that in some instances VEGF may directly promote pancreatic cancer growth via the MAPK pathway.
797 10593880 Furthermore, transfection of PC12 cells with core 2 GlcNAc-T also induced c-fos promoter activation, mitogen activated-protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation, Trk receptor glycosylation, and cell differentiation.

799 10688912 Selective interaction between leptin and insulin signaling pathways in a hepatic cell line.
800 10688912 Leptin is a 16-kDa hormone secreted by adipocytes and plays an important role in control of feeding behavior and energy expenditure.
801 10688912 In obesity, circulating levels of leptin and insulin are high because of the presence of increased body fat mass and insulin resistance.
802 10688912 Recent reports have suggested that leptin can act through some of the components of the insulin signaling cascade, such as insulin receptor substrates (IRS-1 and IRS-2), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), and mitogen-activated protein kinase, and can modify insulin-induced changes in gene expression in vitro and in vivo.
803 10688912 Well differentiated hepatoma cells (Fao) possess both the long and short forms of the leptin receptor and respond to leptin with a stimulation of c-fos gene expression.
804 10688912 In Fao cells, leptin alone had no effects on the insulin signaling pathway, but leptin pretreatment transiently enhanced insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and PI 3-kinase binding to IRS-1, while producing an inhibition of tyrosine phosphorylation and PI 3-kinase binding to IRS-2.
805 10688912 Leptin alone also induced serine phosphorylation of Akt and glycogen synthase kinase 3 but to a lesser extent than insulin, and the combination of these hormones was not additive.
806 10688912 These results suggest complex interactions between the leptin and insulin signaling pathways that can potentially lead to differential modification of the metabolic and mitotic effects of insulin exerted through IRS-1 and IRS-2 and the downstream kinases that they activate.
807 10744748 The insulin receptor substrate (IRS) family of proteins mediate a variety of intracellular signaling events by serving as signaling platforms downstream of several receptor tyrosine kinases including the insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptors.
808 10744748 Recently, several new members of this family have been identified including IRS-3, IRS-4, and growth factor receptor-binding protein 2-associated binder-1 (Gab-1). 3T3 cell lines derived from IRS-1-deficient embryos exhibit a 70-80% reduction in IGF-1-stimulated S-phase entry and a parallel decrease in the induction of the immediate-early genes c-fos and egr-1 but unaltered activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1 and extracellular signal-regulated kinase-2.
809 10744748 Overexpression of Gab-1 in IRS-1-deficient fibroblasts also results in the restoration of egr-1 induction to levels similar to those achieved by IRS-1 reconstitution and markedly increases IGF-1-stimulated S-phase progression.
810 10744748 Gab-1 is capable of regulating these biological end points despite the absence of IGF-1 stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation.
811 10744748 These data provide evidence that Gab-1 may serve as a unique signaling intermediate in insulin/IGF-1 signaling for induction of early gene expression and stimulation of mitogenesis without direct tyrosine phosphorylation.
812 10748122 A novel type I fibroblast growth factor receptor activates mitogenic signaling in the absence of detectable tyrosine phosphorylation of FRS2.
813 10748122 A novel variant of the fibroblast growth factor receptor type 1 (FGFR-1) was identified in human placental RNA.
814 10748122 Transfected L6 clones expressed respective proteins and bound (125)I-labeled FGF-2 with K(d) values of 99 pm (FGFR-1) and 26 pm (FGFR-1L).
815 10748122 FGF-1 and FGF-2 competed efficiently with (125)I-FGF-2 for binding to FGFR-1 and FGFR-1L, whereas FGF-4 was less efficient.
816 10748122 FGF-1, FGF-2, and FGF-4 enhanced mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity, increased steady-state c-fos mRNA levels, and stimulated proliferation through either receptor, whereas KGF was without effect.
817 10748122 FGFR-1 expressing clones exhibited ligand-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of fibroblast growth factor receptor substrate 2 (FRS2), a 90-kDa adaptor protein that links FGFR-1 activation to the MAPK cascade.
818 10748122 These findings indicate that FGFR-1L binds FGF-1 and FGF-2 with high affinity and is capable of mitogenic signaling, but may activate MAPK to occur via non-classical signaling intermediates.
819 10799542 We have investigated the signaling function of mutant LRb intracellular domains under the control of the extracellular erythropoietin (Epo) receptor.
820 10799542 By using this system, we confirm that two tyrosine residues in the intracellular domain of murine LRb become phosphorylated to mediate LRb signaling; Tyr(985) controls the tyrosine phosphorylation of SHP-2, and Tyr(1138) controls STAT3 activation.
821 10799542 We furthermore investigated the mechanisms by which LRb controls downstream ERK activation and c-fos and SOCS3 message accumulation.
822 10799542 Tyr(985)-mediated recruitment of SHP-2 does not alter tyrosine phosphorylation of Jak2 or STAT3 but results in GRB-2 binding to tyrosine-phosphorylated SHP-2 and is required for the majority of ERK activation during LRb signaling.
823 10799542 Tyr(985) and ERK activation similarly mediate c-fos mRNA accumulation.
824 10799542 In contrast, SOCS3 mRNA accumulation requires Tyr(1138)-mediated STAT3 activation.
825 10799542 Thus, the two LRb tyrosine residues that are phosphorylated during receptor activation mediate distinct signaling pathways as follows: SHP-2 binding to Tyr(985) positively regulates the ERK --> c-fos pathway, and STAT3 binding to Tyr(1138) mediates the inhibitory SOCS3 pathway.

840 10807873 A higher binding affinity of AP-1 to the A allele was associated with higher MMP-12 promoter activity in vitro in transient transfection studies in U937 and murine lung macrophage (MALU) cells.
841 10807873 Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and insulin, 2 known activators of AP-1, increased the binding of AP-1 to the MMP-12 promoter, with higher affinity for the A allele.
842 10807873 Furthermore, Western blot analysis demonstrated that insulin increased MMP-12 protein production.

846 10837498 Here, we demonstrate that chronic high glucose (CHG) causes a dramatic increase in the release of the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), at least in part through enhanced TNFalpha mRNA transcription, mediated by ROS via activation of transcription factors nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) and activating protein-1 (AP-1).
847 10837498 The following observations supported that both NF-kappaB and AP-1 mediated enhanced TNFalpha transcription by CHG: 1) A 295-base pair fragment of the proximal TNFalpha promoter containing NF-kappaB and AP-1 sites reproduced the effects of CHG on TNFalpha transcription in a luciferase reporter assay, 2) mutational analyses of both NF-kappaB and the AP-1 sites abrogated 90% of the luciferase activity, 3) gel-shift analysis using the binding sites showed activation of NF-kappaB and AP-1 in CHG nuclear extracts, and 4) Western blot analyses demonstrated elevated nuclear levels of p65 and p50 and decreased cytosolic levels of IkappaBalpha in CHG-treated monocytes.
848 10837498 That ROS acted as a key intermediate in the CHG pathway was supported by the following evidence: 1) increased superoxide levels similar to those observed with PMA or TNFalpha, 2) increased phosphorylation of stress-responsive mitogen-activated protein kinases p38 and JNK-1, 3) counteraction of the effects of CHG on TNFalpha production, the 295TNFluc reporter activity, activation of NF-kappaB, and repression of IkappaBalpha by antioxidants and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors.
849 10837498 Here, we demonstrate that chronic high glucose (CHG) causes a dramatic increase in the release of the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), at least in part through enhanced TNFalpha mRNA transcription, mediated by ROS via activation of transcription factors nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) and activating protein-1 (AP-1).
850 10837498 The following observations supported that both NF-kappaB and AP-1 mediated enhanced TNFalpha transcription by CHG: 1) A 295-base pair fragment of the proximal TNFalpha promoter containing NF-kappaB and AP-1 sites reproduced the effects of CHG on TNFalpha transcription in a luciferase reporter assay, 2) mutational analyses of both NF-kappaB and the AP-1 sites abrogated 90% of the luciferase activity, 3) gel-shift analysis using the binding sites showed activation of NF-kappaB and AP-1 in CHG nuclear extracts, and 4) Western blot analyses demonstrated elevated nuclear levels of p65 and p50 and decreased cytosolic levels of IkappaBalpha in CHG-treated monocytes.

852 10967557 Collagen I mRNA levels significantly increased while osteocalcin mRNA levels decreased 24 h after the addition of glucose.
853 10967557 Expression of other genes, actin, osteopontin, and histone H4, was unaffected.
854 10967557 Effects on collagen I expression were seen as early as 1 h after treatment. c-Jun, an AP-1 transcription factor involved in the regulation of osteoblast gene expression and growth, was also modulated by glucose.
855 10967557 Treatment of osteoblasts with an equal concentration of mannitol completely mimicked glucose treatment effects on collagen I and c-jun expression, demonstrating that osmotic stress rather than glucose metabolism is responsible for the effects on osteoblast gene expression and phenotype.
856 10967557 Additional studies using staurosporine and Ro-31-8220 demonstrate that protein kinase C is required for the glucose up regulation of collagen I and c-jun.
857 10967557 Taken together, our results demonstrate that osteoblasts respond to increasing extracellular glucose concentration through an osmotic response pathway that is dependent upon protein kinase C activity and results in upregulation of c-jun and modulation of collagen I and osteocalcin expression.
858 10981145 Current evidence suggests that ANG II, through AT1-receptor activation, upregulates several subunits of this multienzyme complex, resulting in an increase in intracellular O2- concentration.
859 10981145 ROS are involved in several signal pathways, and redox-sensitive transcriptional factors (AP-1, NF-kappaB) have been characterized.
860 10981145 Although these perceptions suggest that drugs interfering with ANG II effects (ACE inhibitors, AT1 -receptor antagonist) may serve as antioxidants, preventing vascular and renal changes, the clinical studies are not so straightforward.
861 11032732 Both RT-PCR procedure and Northern blot analysis revealed that AGEs induced not only the gene expression of two major OxLDL receptors, macrophage scavenger receptor (MSR) class A and CD36, but also MSR-B I and lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1.
862 11032732 Also, as a result of gel shift assay, AGEs increased transcriptional activities of AP-1, NF-kappaB, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma.
863 11113183 The p90 ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK), a cytosolic substrate for the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), is involved in transcriptional regulation, and one isoform (RSK2) has been implicated in the activation of glycogen synthase by insulin.
864 11113183 To determine RSK2 function in vivo, mice lacking a functional rsk2 gene were generated and studied in response to insulin and exercise, two potent stimulators of the ERK cascade in skeletal muscle.
865 11113183 While insulin and exercise significantly increased ERK phosphorylation in skeletal muscle from both WT and KO mice, the increases were twofold greater in the KO animals.
866 11113183 The enhanced insulin-stimulated increases in ERK and glycogen synthase activities in KO mice were not associated with higher insulin receptor or with IRS1 tyrosine phosphorylation or with IRS1 binding to phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase.
867 11113183 However, insulin-stimulated serine phosphorylation of Akt was significantly higher in the KO animals. c-fos mRNA was increased similarly in muscle from WT and KO mice in response to insulin (2. 5-fold) and exercise (15-fold).
868 11113183 In conclusion, RSK2 likely plays a major role in feedback inhibition of the ERK pathway in skeletal muscle.
869 11113183 Furthermore, RSK2 is not required for activation of muscle glycogen synthase by insulin but may indirectly modulate muscle glycogen synthase activity and/or glycogen content by other mechanisms, possibly through regulation of Akt.
870 11113183 RSK2 knockout mice may be a good animal model for the study of Coffin-Lowry syndrome.
871 11147774 We investigated activation of orexin and other neurons during insulin-induced hypoglycemia using the immediate early gene product Fos.
872 11147774 In the LHA, total numbers of Fos+ neurons were comparable in fed hypoglycemic and control groups (60 +/- 6 vs. 52 +/- 4 cells/mm2, P > 0.05), as were Fos+ neurons immunoreactive for orexin (1.4 +/- 0.4 vs. 0.6 +/- 0.4 cells/mm2, P > 0.05).
873 11147774 By contrast, hypoglycemic rats that were fasted showed significantly more Fos+ nuclei in the LHA (96 +/- 10 cells/mm2, P < 0.05, vs. both other groups) and Fos+ orexin neurons (8.4 +/- 3.3 cells/mm2, P < 0.001, vs. both other groups).

880 11147798 Stress conditions and proinflammatory cytokines activate the c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), a member of the stress-activated group of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs).
881 11147798 Kinase assays indicate that the inhibitors block activation of the transcription factor c-Jun by JNK.
882 11147798 Addition of the peptides to the insulin-secreting betaTC-3 cell line results in a marked inhibition of IL-1beta-induced c-jun and c-fos expression.
883 11147798 All-D retro-inverso peptides penetrate cells as efficiently as the L-enantiomers, decrease c-Jun activation by JNK, and remain highly stable inside cells.
884 11167021 Glutamine:fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT) is the first and rate-limiting enzyme of the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway, which plays an important role in glucose toxicity and cellular insulin resistance.
885 11167021 Sequence analysis revealed several putative regulatory elements Sp1, a CCAAT box, AP-1 and AP-2, but no TATA box.
886 11167021 Reporter assays using deletion and mutant variants suggested that the Sp1 sites at positions -83 to -78 and -22 to -17 both play an important role in the basal promoter activity of the mouse GFAT2 gene.
887 11167021 We also compared the promoter activities of mouse GFAT1 and GFAT2 in several cell lines.
888 11179452 Using mRNA differential display, we have compared 3T3-L1 cells treated to differentiate in the presence of BRL49653 with untreated 3T3-L1 cells and identified Fos-related antigen 1 (Fra-1), a member of the Fos protein family, as a novel molecular target for BRL49653 action in 3T3-L1 cells.
889 11179452 The only other member of the Fos-Jun family expressed in differentiated 3T3-L1 cells was JunD and a complex of Fra-1 and JunD was formed on a consensus AP-1 binding element in differentiated 3T3-L1 cells, suggesting that the complex of Fra-1 and JunD may play a role in the stimulation of the differentiation process of 3T3-L1 cells observed after treatment of the cells with insulin sensitizers.
890 11179452 Using mRNA differential display, we have compared 3T3-L1 cells treated to differentiate in the presence of BRL49653 with untreated 3T3-L1 cells and identified Fos-related antigen 1 (Fra-1), a member of the Fos protein family, as a novel molecular target for BRL49653 action in 3T3-L1 cells.

892 11181311 In this activation different growth factors (PDGF, EGF, etc.), cytokines (IL-1b, TNFa, etc.) and the modified LDL themselves, play an important role.
893 11181311 Through several signal transduction pathways these molecules activate transcription factors, such as the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) or protooncogenes such as c-fos, c-myc, that regulate the expression of genes involved in the inflammatory/proliferative response of the lesions.
894 11222507 CD28 co-stimulation restores T cell responsiveness in NOD mice by overcoming deficiencies in Rac-1/p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling and IL-2 and IL-4 gene transcription.
895 11222507 Neonatal CD28 co-stimulation reverses T cell hyporesponsiveness and protects NOD mice from diabetes by an IL-4-mediated mechanism, indicating that a deficiency in TCR signaling may be overcome by CD28/B7-2 co-stimulation in NOD T cells.
896 11222507 To investigate which co-stimulation-induced signaling events mediate this protection, we analyzed the activity of Ras, Rac-1, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and several transcription factors in TCR-activated NOD T cells in the presence or absence of CD28 co-stimulation.
897 11222507 We show that CD28 co-stimulation restores normal TCR-induced activation of Rac-1 and p38 MAPK in NOD T cells.
898 11222507 Deficiencies in TCR-induced nuclear expression of activating protein (AP)-1 binding proteins as well as activation of AP-1 and NF-AT in the IL-2 and IL-4 P1 promoters are also corrected by CD28 co-stimulation.
899 11222507 Thus, CD28 co-stimulation reverses NOD T cell hyporesponsiveness by restoring TCR signaling leading to the activation of AP-1 and NF-AT during IL-2 and IL-4 gene transcription.
900 11222507 CD28 co-stimulation restores T cell responsiveness in NOD mice by overcoming deficiencies in Rac-1/p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling and IL-2 and IL-4 gene transcription.

905 11222507 Thus, CD28 co-stimulation reverses NOD T cell hyporesponsiveness by restoring TCR signaling leading to the activation of AP-1 and NF-AT during IL-2 and IL-4 gene transcription.
906 11457715 Regulation of ANP clearance receptors by EGF in mesangial cells from NOD mice.
907 11457715 Mesangial cells from nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice (D-NOD) that develop diabetes at 2-4 mo express an increased density of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) clearance receptors [natriuretic peptide C receptor (NPR-C)] and produce less GMP in response to ANP than their nondiabetic counterparts (ND-NOD).
908 11457715 Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and heparin-binding (HB)-EGF, but not platelet-derived growth factor or insulin-like growth factor I, inhibited (125)I-ANP binding to ND-NOD and D-NOD mesangial cells, particularly in the latter.
909 11457715 The EGF effect depended on activation of its receptor tyrosine kinase but not on that of protein kinase C, mitogen-activated protein kinases, or phosphoinositide-3 kinase.
910 11457715 The cGMP response to physiological concentrations of ANP was greater in EGF-treated D-NOD cells.
911 11457715 These studies suggest that EGF potentiates the ANP glomerular effects in diabetes by inhibition of its degradation by mesangial NPR-C via a mechanism involving AP-1.
912 11522684 Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) inhibits feeding and induces the expression of c-Fos in hypothalamic areas implicated in appetite regulation.
913 11557664 In the present study, we show that 13-HPODE leads to the activation of Ras as well as the mitogen-activated protein kinases, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, p38, and c-Jun amino-terminal kinase, in porcine VSMCs. 13-HPODE also specifically activated the oxidant stress-responsive transcription factor, nuclear factor-kappaB, but not activator protein-1 or activator protein-2. 13-HPODE-induced nuclear factor-kappaB DNA binding activity was blocked by an antioxidant, N-acetylcysteine, as well as an inhibitor of protein kinase C. 13-HPODE, but not the hydroxy product, 13-(S)-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid, also dose-dependently increased vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 promoter activation.
914 11557664 This was inhibited by an antioxidant as well as by inhibitors of Ras p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and protein kinase C.
915 11573134 However, this transcriptional machinery containing pax8 seems to require contributions from the neighboring cis-acting element that is similar to CRE/AP-1 consensus sequences.
916 11573134 Modification of this putative CRE/AP-1 site not only represses the NUE transcriptional activities by 90% in FRTL-5 cells, but also nullifies the synergistic effect of PKA on pax8-mediated transactivation in HeLa cells.

967 11793013 Data obtained on non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice suggest that macrophages and CD4+ T-cells are the main cellular effectors, whereas CD8+ T-cells are more important initiators of the immune process leading to beta-cell death.
968 11793013 Perforin could be the effector molecule utilized by CD8+ T-cell initiation, whereas CD4+ mediated beta-cell destruction is mostly dependent on Fas/FasL and the cytokines IFNgamma and TNF-alpha.

1082 12388107 We also examined the roles played by protein kinase C (PKC) and the transcription factors nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) and activating protein (AP)-1 with respect to such changes.
1083 12388107 HG, PKC activators, and ETs (ET-1 and ET-3) that increased FN expression also caused activation of NF-kappaB and AP-1.
1084 12388107 Inhibitors of both NF-kappaB and AP-1 prevented HG- and ET-induced FN production.

1091 12409145 The expression of PAI-1 mRNA that was also increased by H(2)O(2), angiotensin II, or phorbol myristate acetate, was reversed by the MAPK kinase (MEK) inhibitor PD98059 or the specific protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor GF109203X.
1092 12409145 High glucose appeared to activate MAPK and PKC in VSMC judging from Elk-1 and AP-1 activation, respectively.
1093 12409145 These results suggest that glucose at high concentrations induces PAI-1 gene expression in VSMC at least partially via MAPK and PKC activation.
1094 12445695 This study demonstrates that: (1) there is increased basal neuronal activity in the PVN, SON and MnPO, a decrease in neuronal activity in the AH and no change in neuronal activity in the PH as indicated by Fos staining in diabetic rats; and (2) dehydration or hypertonic challenge produces a further increase in the number of Fos-positive cells in the PVN, SON, and MnPO which is comparable to control rats.
1095 12453894 The rat arcuate nucleus integrates peripheral signals provided by leptin, insulin, and a ghrelin mimetic.
1096 12453894 The hypothalamic circuits controlling food intake and body weight receive and integrate information from circulating satiety signals such as leptin and insulin and also from ghrelin, the only known circulating hormone that stimulates appetite following systemic injection.
1097 12453894 Activation of arcuate neurons by ghrelin and ghrelin mimetics (the growth hormone secretagogues) is augmented in 48-h-fasted rats compared with fed rats, as reflected by a greater number of cells expressing Fos protein in response to administration of the same maximally effective dose.
1098 12453894 Chronic central infusion of insulin or leptin during a 48-h fast suppressed the threefold increase in the Fos response to intravenous injection of a maximally effective dose of growth hormone-releasing peptide (GHRP)-6, a synthetic growth hormone secretagogue.
1099 12453894 This appears to be a direct central action of insulin and leptin because the marked decrease in plasma levels of insulin, leptin, and glucose during fasting were unaffected by central administration of either hormone.
1100 12453894 Furthermore, the GHRP-6-induced Fos response was twofold greater in obese leptin- and insulin-resistant Zucker rats compared with lean controls.
1101 12453894 These data provide evidence that the ghrelin-sensitive circuits in the hypothalamus are dynamically regulated by central insulin and leptin action.

1116 12475762 Moreover, hyperosmolarity abrogated the stimulating effect of ionomycin (1 microg/ml) and PMA (5 microg/ml) on the transcription factors activator protein (AP)-1, nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), and NF-kappaB but not Sp1.
1117 12482846 Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) show differential effects upon ERalpha activation function 1 (AF-1).
1118 12482846 Tamoxifen allows strong ERalpha AF-1 activity, whereas raloxifene allows less and ICI 182,780 (ICI) allows none.
1119 12482846 Here, we show that blockade of corepressor histone de-acetylase (HDAC) activity reverses the differential inhibitory effect of SERMs upon AF-1 activity in MCF-7 cells.
1120 12482846 This suggests that differential SERM repression of AF-1 involves HDAC-dependent corepressors.
1121 12482846 An ERalpha mutation (537X) that increases N-CoR binding in the presence of all SERMs blocks AF-1 activity.
1122 12482846 An ERalpha mutation (L379R) that decreases N-CoR binding increases AF-1 activity in the presence of ICI and raloxifene and reverses the effect of the 537X mutation.
1123 12482846 The 537X and L379R mutations also alter the ligand preference of ERalpha action at AP-1 sites and C3 complement, an action that also involves AF-1.
1124 12485914 This revealed significant reduction in activation of CREB and NFkappaB in DRG from diabetic rats, but no effect on AP-1.
1125 12488363 This deficit was evident at the molecular level as shown by diminished expression of osteocalcin, collagen types I.
1126 12488363 When transcription factors were examined, core-binding factor alpha1 (Cbfa1)/runt domain factor-2 (Runx-2) and human homolog of the drosophila distal-less gene (Dlx5) expression were substantially reduced in the diabetic, compared with control, groups on d 4 and 6.
1127 12488363 C-fos but not c-jun expression was also suppressed in the diabetic group but not closely linked to bone formation.
1128 12488363 Insulin treatment substantially reversed the effect of diabetes on the expression of bone matrix osteocalcin and collagen type I and transcription factors Cbfa1/Runx2 and Dlx5.
1129 12488363 These results indicate that diabetic animals produce sufficient amounts of immature mesenchymal tissue but fail to adequately express genes that regulate osteoblast differentiation, Cbfa1/Runx-2 and Dlx5, which in turn, leads to decreased bone formation.
1130 12537256 A few current studies on the action of selected nutraceuticals on the activity of transcription factors such as AP-1, NF-kappaB, SREBPs, PPARs as final targets in the signal transduction cascade and gene regulation are included.

1174 12711314 c-Fos-driven transcriptional activation of transforming growth factor beta-1: inhibition of high glucose-induced promoter activity by thiazolidinediones.
1175 12711314 The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma activating compounds thiazolidinedione (TZD) have been shown to inhibit diabetes-induced glomerular transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) expression, thereby ameliorating diabetic nephropathy.
1176 12711314 Here we examined the hypothesis that TZDs block high glucose-induced TGF-beta1 gene activation by interaction with the activated protein kinase C-c-Fos-TGF-beta1 promoter cascade in mesangial cells.
1177 12711314 The TZD compounds troglitazone and rosiglitazone completely prevented the high glucose induction of both TGF-beta1 promoter activity and elevation in nuclear c-Fos protein levels.
1178 12711314 TZD-treatment did not interfere with the transcriptional activity of c-Fos responsible for stimulation of the TGF-beta1 promoter.

1204 12729803 Insulin induces expression of adenosine kinase gene in rat lymphocytes by signaling through the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway.
1205 12729803 Exposure of rat lymphocytes to wortmannin, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), or rapamycin, an inhibitor of mTOR, did not affect the ability of insulin to stimulate expression of AK.
1206 12729803 Prior treatment of the cells with 10 microM PD98059, an inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase (MEK) completely blocked insulin-stimulated expression of AK gene.
1207 12729803 Insulin produced a significant transient increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of ERK1/2, and PD98059 inhibited this phosphorylation.
1208 12729803 Furthermore exposure of cells to insulin has resulted in transient phosphorylation of Elk-1 on Ser-383 and sustained elevation of c-Jun and c-Fos protein.
1209 12729803 This includes activation of the MAPK cascade and subsequent phosphorylation of Elk-1 followed by increased expression of c-fos and c-jun genes.

1217 12858162 Recognition of accessory protein motifs by the gamma-adaptin ear domain of GGA3.
1218 12858162 The gamma-adaptin ear (GAE) domains of the AP-1 adaptor protein complex and the GGA adaptor proteins recruit accessory proteins to these multiprotein complexes by binding to a hydrophobic motif.

1220 12871225 Up-regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-1 expression in U937 cells by low-density lipoprotein-containing immune complexes requires the activator protein-1 and the Ets motifs in the distal and the proximal promoter regions.
1221 12871225 We reported previously that low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-containing immune complexes (LDL-IC) stimulated matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) expression in U937 histiocytes through Fc gamma receptor (FcgammaR)-mediated extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathway.
1222 12871225 The mutation study further indicated that the activator protein-1 (AP-1) (-3471) or Ets (-3836) motifs in this distal region were essential for the LDL-IC-stimulated MMP-1 expression.
1223 12871225 Moreover, although above deletion analysis showed that LDL-IC did not stimulate MMP-1 promoter activity in cells transfected with constructs that contained the proximal AP-1 (-72) and Ets (-88) in the promoter fragments that are 2685-bp or less, the mutations of the -72 AP-1 or the -88 Ets motif in the construct 1 abolished the stimulation of MMP-1 expression by LDL-IC, suggesting that a long promoter sequence is required for the -72 AP-1 and -88 Ets motifs to be involved in the stimulation.
1224 12871225 In conclusion, the present study shows that both the distal and proximal AP-1 and Ets motifs are required for LDL-IC-stimulated MMP-1 expression in U937 histiocytes.
1225 12871225 Up-regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-1 expression in U937 cells by low-density lipoprotein-containing immune complexes requires the activator protein-1 and the Ets motifs in the distal and the proximal promoter regions.
1226 12871225 We reported previously that low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-containing immune complexes (LDL-IC) stimulated matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) expression in U937 histiocytes through Fc gamma receptor (FcgammaR)-mediated extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathway.
1227 12871225 The mutation study further indicated that the activator protein-1 (AP-1) (-3471) or Ets (-3836) motifs in this distal region were essential for the LDL-IC-stimulated MMP-1 expression.
1228 12871225 Moreover, although above deletion analysis showed that LDL-IC did not stimulate MMP-1 promoter activity in cells transfected with constructs that contained the proximal AP-1 (-72) and Ets (-88) in the promoter fragments that are 2685-bp or less, the mutations of the -72 AP-1 or the -88 Ets motif in the construct 1 abolished the stimulation of MMP-1 expression by LDL-IC, suggesting that a long promoter sequence is required for the -72 AP-1 and -88 Ets motifs to be involved in the stimulation.
1229 12871225 In conclusion, the present study shows that both the distal and proximal AP-1 and Ets motifs are required for LDL-IC-stimulated MMP-1 expression in U937 histiocytes.

1240 12878589 Here we demonstrate that LDL(-) increases tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha)-induced inflammatory responses through NF kappa B and AP-1 activation with corresponding increases in vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM1) expression.
1241 12878589 In contrast, exposing LDL(-) to the key lipolytic enzyme lipoprotein lipase (LPL) reversed these responses, inhibiting VCAM1 below levels seen with TNFalpha alone.
1242 12878589 LPL is known to act on lipoproteins to generate endogenous peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR alpha) ligand, thus limiting inflammation.
1243 12878589 As compared with LDL(-) alone, LPL-treated LDL(-) increased PPAR alpha activation 20-fold in either cell-based transfection or radioligand displacement assays.
1244 12878589 LPL-treated LDL(-) suppressed NF kappa B and AP-1 activation, increasing expression of the PPAR alpha target gene I kappa B alpha, although only in the genetic presence of PPAR alpha and with intact LPL hydrolysis.
1245 12878589 Mass spectrometry reveals that LPL-treatment of either LDL or LDL(-) releases hydroxy-octadecadienoic acids (HODEs), potent PPAR alpha activators.
1246 12878589 These findings suggest LPL-mediated PPAR alpha activation as an alternative catabolic pathway that may limit inflammatory responses to LDL(-).

1254 12882931 Leptin increases lipoprotein lipase secretion by macrophages: involvement of oxidative stress and protein kinase C.
1255 12882931 To gain further insight into the role of leptin in atherogenesis associated with diabetes, we investigated in the present study the role of this hormone in the regulation of macrophage lipoprotein lipase (LPL), a proatherogenic cytokine overexpressed in patients with type 2 diabetes.
1256 12882931 Treatment of human macrophages with leptin (1-10 nmol/l) increased LPL expression, at both the mRNA and protein levels.
1257 12882931 Pretreatment of these cells with anti-leptin receptor (Ob-R) antibody, protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors, calphostin C, and GF109203X, or the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) blocked the effects of leptin.
1258 12882931 In these cells, leptin increased the membrane expression of conventional PKC isoforms and downregulation of endogenous PKC expression abolished the effects of leptin on macrophage LPL expression.
1259 12882931 In leptin-treated J774 cells, enhanced LPL synthetic rate and increased binding of nuclear proteins to the activated protein-1 (AP-1) consensus sequence of the LPL gene promoter were also observed.
1260 12882931 Overall, these data demonstrate that binding of leptin at the macrophage cell surface increases, through oxidative stress- and PKC-dependent pathways, LPL expression.
1261 12901702 Following sciatic nerve crush injury, early gene responses such as insulin-like growth factor, c-fos, and nerve growth factor were examined longitudinally in sciatic nerve.
1262 12901952 Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) regulates the transcription factor AP-1, which is implicated in the controlled expression of many genes involved in the immune response.
1263 12901952 However, recent genetic evidence and emerging pharmacological data indicate that activated JNK could be critical in causing diabetes, insulin resistance and obesity.
1264 12941765 To examine the peripheral and central roles of adiponectin in energy intake and expenditure, we investigated the effects of adiponectin on food intake, adiposity, sympathetic nerve activity (SNA), and mRNA expressions of uncoupling protein (UCP) in the brown adipose tissue (BAT), white adipose tissue (WAT) and skeletal muscle in agouti yellow (A(y)/a) obese mice.
1265 12941765 In addition, adiponectin treatment increased the expression of UCP1 mRNA in BAT, UCP2 mRNA in WAT, and UCP3 mRNA in skeletal muscle compared with PBS-treated A(y)/a controls.
1266 12941765 Finally, these above responses as well as expression of c-Fos-like immunohistochemistry in the hypothalamus were not induced by central application of adiponectin (0-15 micro g/kg).
1267 12941765 Taken together, adiponectin effectively regulated visceral adiposity, SNA, and UCP mRNA expression peripherally, suggesting that this substance can be used as a therapeutic tool, administered peripherally, in the treatment of visceral obesity and related metabolic disorders.
1268 12967720 Glucagon like peptide-1 (7-36) amide (GLP-1) nerve terminals densely innervate corticotropin-releasing hormone neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus.
1269 12967720 Central administration of GLP-1 increases plasma corticosterone levels and elicits c-fos expression in corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) neurons of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN).
1270 12967720 Since central CRH is also thought to be an anorexigenic factor and GLP-1 neurons contain leptin receptors, activation of CRH neurons in the PVN by GLP-1 may contribute to the complex neuroendocrine and metabolic actions by the adipostatic hormone, leptin.
1271 14503010 In addition, the genomic profiles of patients with dementia integrating AD-related genes (APOE, PS1, PS2, cFOS) in a mini-tetragenic haplotype significantly differ from controls with an absolute genetic variation of about 50%-60%.
1272 14504138 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediate cell signalling in the vasculature, where they can promote cell growth and activate redox-regulated transcription factors, like activator protein-1 (AP-1) or nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), which are involved in remodelling and inflammation processes.
1273 14504138 In this study, we analysed whether Amadori-modified human oxyhaemoglobin, glycosylated at either normal (N-Hb) or elevated (E-Hb) levels, can induce cell growth and activate AP-1 and NF-kappaB in cultured human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMC).
1274 14504138 At 10 nm, E-Hb stimulated both AP-1 and NF-kappaB activity, as assessed by transient transfection, electromobility shift assays or immunofluorescence staining.
1275 14504138 In conclusion, E-Hb stimulates growth and activates AP-1 and NF-kappaB in human vascular smooth muscle by redox-sensitive pathways, thus suggesting a possible direct role for Amadori adducts in diabetic vasculopathy.

1288 14561487 The JNK binding domain of islet-brain 1 inhibits IL-1 induced JNK activity and apoptosis but not the transcription of key proapoptotic or protective genes in insulin-secreting cell lines.
1289 14561487 The stress-activated protein kinase c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) is a central signal for interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)-induced apoptosis in insulin-producing beta-cells.
1290 14561487 The cell-permeable peptide inhibitor of JNK (JNKI1), that introduces the JNK binding domain (JBD) of the scaffold protein islet-brain 1 (IB1) inside cells, effectively prevents beta-cell death caused by this cytokine.
1291 14561487 To define the molecular targets of JNK involved in cytokine-induced beta-cell apoptosis we investigated whether JNKI1 or stable expression of JBD affected the expression of selected pro- and anti-apoptotic genes induced in rat (RIN-5AH-T2B) and mouse (betaTC3) insulinoma cells exposed to IL-1beta.
1292 14561487 Inhibition of JNK significantly reduced phosphorylation of the specific JNK substrate c-Jun (p<0.05), IL-1beta-induced apoptosis (p<0.001), and IL-1beta-mediated c-fos gene expression.
1293 14561487 However, neither JNKI1 nor JBD did influence IL-1beta-induced NO synthesis or iNOS expression or the transcription of the genes encoding mitochondrial manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione-S-transferase rho (GSTrho), heat shock protein (HSP) 70, IL-1beta-converting enzyme (ICE), caspase-3, apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), Bcl-2 or Bcl-xL.
1294 14566971 Age-related differences in MAP kinase activity in VSMC in response to glucose or TNF-alpha.
1295 14566971 Activator protein-1 (AP-1) binding to DNA increased more in VSMC from old versus young rats (P < 0.02) and was related to increased expression of its components, c-Fos, Fra-1, and JunD.
1296 14566971 The relationship to upstream signals, i.e., activities of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), was studied using antibodies to total and phosphorylated forms of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) and p38.

1304 14576487 The injurious effects of ethanol on the pancreas may be mediated through (1) sensitization of acinar cells to CCK-induced premature activation of zymogens; (2) potentiation of the effect of CCK on the activation of transcription factors, nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) and activating protein-1 (AP-1); (3) generation of toxic metabolites such as acetaldehyde and fatty acid ethyl esters; (4) sensitization of the pancreas to the toxic effects of coxsackievirus B3; and (5) activation of pancreatic stellate cells by acetaldehyde and oxidative stress and subsequent increased production of collagen and other matrix proteins.

1435 14736738 Although the site of action of CGRP remains to be established, the induction of c-Fos expression in the preoptic area and hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus might suggest an involvement of these brain regions.
1436 14736738 Coadministration (intracerebroventricular) of CGRP (400 pmol) with a CRH antagonist (alpha-helical CRF(9-41), 26 nmol) partly blocked the CGRP-induced suppression of LH pulses.

1608 15226417 Pituitary homeobox 1 (Pitx-1) has been shown to activate pituitary-specific gene expression by direct DNA binding and/or protein-protein interaction with other transcription factors.
1609 15226417 We hypothesized that Pitx-1 might also dictate tissue-specific expression of the mouse GnRHR (mGnRHR) gene in a similar manner.
1610 15226417 Pitx-1 activated the mGnRHR gene promoter, and transactivation was localized to sequences between -308 and -264.
1611 15226417 This region includes an activating protein 1 (AP-1) site, which was previously shown to be important for mGnRHR gene expression.
1612 15226417 Further characterization indicated that an intact AP-1 site was required for full Pitx-1 responsiveness.

1644 15226417 Pitx-1 interacted directly with c-Jun, and the HD was sufficient for this interaction.
1645 15226417 While the point mutation in the Pitx-1 HD did not affect interaction with c-Jun, deletion of the HD eliminated the interaction.
1646 15226417 Taken together, our studies indicate that Pitx-1 can direct transactivation of the mGnRHR gene, in part by DNA binding and in part by an action of Pitx-1 as a cofactor for AP-1, augmenting AP-1 activity through a novel protein-protein interaction between c-Jun and the HD of Pitx-1.

1732 15649404 PKCepsilon induces interleukin-6 expression through the MAPK pathway in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
1733 15649404 This PKCepsilon-induced IL-6 expression could be completely inhibited by U0126, an inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase.
1734 15649404 These results suggest that PKCepsilon is able to increase IL-6 expression via the ERK-AP-1 pathway in differentiated adipocytes, and that PKCepsilon is involved in systemic insulin resistance by regulating plasma IL-6 concentrations.

1738 15892631 Various studies have confirmed that metals activate signalling pathways and the carcinogenic effect of metals has been related to activation of mainly redox-sensitive transcription factors, involving NF-kappaB, AP-1 and p53.
1739 15893134 Among them, TNF-alpha has been most widely studied; it not only suppresses the insulin signaling, but also elicits vascular inflammation.
1740 15893134 Indeed, inhibition of TNF-alpha was found to improve insulin resistance in obese rats and reduce the progression of atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E knockout mice, respectively.
1741 15893134 These observations demonstrate that TNF-alpha could play a central role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and accelerated atherosclerosis in the metabolic syndrome.

1745 15941782 In the present study, we demonstrated that preexposure of U937 macrophage-like cells to sodium lactate increased LPS-stimulated matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, IL-1beta, and IL-6 secretion.
1746 15941782 Augmentation of LPS-stimulated MMP-1 secretion was diminished when sodium lactate was replaced by lactic acid that reduced pH in the culture medium.
1747 15941782 Furthermore, quantitative real-time PCR indicated that the increased secretion of MMP-1, IL-1beta, and IL-6 was due to increased mRNA expression.
1748 15941782 To explore the underlying signaling mechanism, blocking studies using specific inhibitors for NF-kappaB and MAPK cascades were performed.
1749 15941782 Results showed that blocking of either NF-kappaB or MAPK pathways led to the inhibition of MMP-1, IL-1beta, and IL-6 expression stimulated by sodium lactate, LPS, or both.

1760 16026317 Whereas an 18 member superfamily of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes synthesize poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR), a single protein, PAR glycohydrolase (PARG) is responsible for the catabolism of the polymer.
1761 16026317 PARP-1 accounts for more than 90% of the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ating capacity of the cells.
1762 16026317 PARP-1 activated by DNA breaks cleaves NAD(+) into nicotinamide and ADP-ribose and uses the latter to synthesize long branching PAR polymers covalently attached to acceptor proteins including histones, DNA repair enzymes, transcription factors and PARP-1.
1763 16026317 Whereas activation of PARP-1 by mild genotoxic stimuli may facilitate DNA repair and cell survival, irreparable DNA damage triggers apoptotic or necrotic cell death.
1764 16026317 In apoptosis, early PARP activation may assist the apoptotic cascade [e.g. by stabilizing p53, by mediating the translocation of apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) from the mitochondria to the nucleus or by inhibiting early activation of DNases].
1765 16026317 In most severe oxidative stress situations, excessive DNA damage causes over activation of PARP-1, which incapacitates the apoptotic machinery and switches the mode of cell death from apoptosis to necrosis.
1766 16026317 Besides serving as a cytotoxic mediator, PARP-1 is also involved in transcriptional regulation, most notably in the NF kappaB and AP-1 driven expression of inflammatory mediators.
1767 16026317 Pharmacological inhibition or genetic ablation of PARP-1 provided remarkable protection from tissue injury in various oxidative stress-related disease models ranging from stroke, diabetes, diabetic endothelial dysfunction, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion, shock, Parkinson's disease, arthritis, colitis to dermatitis and uveitis.
1768 16026317 These beneficial effects are attributed to inhibition of the PARP-1 mediated suicidal pathway and to reduced expression of inflammatory cytokines and other mediators (e.g. inducible nitric oxide synthase).
1769 16036612 The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) were originally identified by their ability to phosphorylate c-Jun in response to UV-irradiation, but now are recognized as critical regulators of various aspects of mammalian physiology, including: cell proliferation, cell survival, cell death, DNA repair and metabolism.
1770 16036612 JNK-mediated phosphorylation enhances the ability of c-Jun, a component of the AP-1 transcription factor, to activate transcription, in response to a plethora of extracellular stimuli.
1771 16036612 The JNK activation leads to induction of AP-1-dependent target genes involved in cell proliferation, cell death, inflammation, and DNA repair.
1772 16036612 Such studies revealed that the JNKs play important roles in numerous cellular processes, including: programmed cell death, T cell differentiation, negative regulation of insulin signaling, control of fat deposition, and epithelial sheet migration.

1776 16036612 Such studies revealed that the JNKs play important roles in numerous cellular processes, including: programmed cell death, T cell differentiation, negative regulation of insulin signaling, control of fat deposition, and epithelial sheet migration.
1777 16115539 Furthermore, many of these compounds exert anti-inflammatory actions through inhibition of oxidative stress-induced transcription factors (e.g., NF-kappaB, AP-1), cytotoxic cytokines and cyclooxygenase-2.
1778 16331857 In most cells, TNF mediates its effects through activation of caspases, NF-kappaB, AP-1, c-jun N-terminal kinase, p38 MAPK, and p44/p42 MAPK.
1779 16387689 Modern science has revealed that curcumin mediates its effects by modulation of several important molecular targets, including transcription factors (e.g., NF-kappaB, AP-1, Egr-1, beta-catenin, and PPAR-gamma), enzymes (e.g., COX2, 5-LOX, iNOS, and hemeoxygenase-1), cell cycle proteins (e.g., cyclin D1 and p21), cytokines (e.g., TNF, IL-1, IL-6, and chemokines), receptors (e.g., EGFR and HER2), and cell surface adhesion molecules.
1780 16434028 Kaempferol but not quercetin dose-dependently inhibited tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha)-induced production of the osteoclastogenic cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1/CCL2) in osteoblasts.
1781 16434028 The effect on IL-6 was posttranscriptional, whereas kaempferol reduced MCP-1 mRNA levels.
1782 16434028 In addition, in mouse primary calvarial osteoblasts, kaempferol but not quercetin blocked TNFalpha-induced translocation of the nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) subunit p65 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus.
1783 16434028 In RAW264.7 cells, a monocyte/macrophage precursor for osteoclasts, both kaempferol and quercetin dose-dependently inhibited the receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL)-induced immediate-early oncogene c-fos expression at 6 h.
1784 16434028 After 3-5 days, both flavonols robustly inhibited RANKL-induced expression of the osteoclastic differentiation markers, RANK and calcitonin receptor.

1786 16505217 Divergent regulation of proopiomelanocortin neurons by leptin in the nucleus of the solitary tract and in the arcuate hypothalamic nucleus.
1787 16505217 Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus are activated by leptin and mediate part of leptin's central actions to influence energy balance.
1788 16505217 However, little is known about potential leptin signaling in POMC neurons located in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), the only other known population of POMC neurons.
1789 16505217 The contribution of NTS POMC neurons versus ARC POMC neurons in leptin action is thus undetermined.
1790 16505217 We show here that in contrast to POMC neurons in the ARC, leptin does not stimulate phosphorylation of signal-transducer and activator of transcription 3 in NTS POMC neurons of POMC-EGFP reporter mice.
1791 16505217 In addition, leptin does not induce c-Fos expression in NTS POMC neurons unlike ARC POMC neurons.
1792 16505217 Fasting induces a fall in POMC mRNA in both the ARC and the NTS, but different from the ARC, the reduction in NTS POMC mRNA is not reversed by leptin.
1793 16505217 We conclude that POMC neurons in the NTS do not respond to leptin unlike ARC POMC neurons.
1794 16505217 POMC neurons in the hypothalamus may therefore mediate all of leptin's signaling via POMC-derived peptides in the central nervous system.
1795 16522740 Analysis of the INGAP promoter suggested that candidate regulators of INGAP expression include the transcription factors PDX-1, NeuroD, PAN-1, STAT and AP-1.

1805 16600694 Aspirin and PPAR-alpha activators inhibit monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 expression induced by high glucose concentration in human endothelial cells.
1806 16600694 Since accelerated atherosclerosis is the main complication of diabetes and both diseases encompass an inflammatory reaction, we hypothesized that the anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR-alpha) activators (fenofibrate and clofibrate), could have an effect on the high glucose-induced MCP-1 expression in endothelial cells.
1807 16600694 To test this assumption, as well as the possible mechanisms involved, the MCP-1 expression and secretion, the reactive oxygen species levels, nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) and activator protein-1 (AP-1) expression were determined in human endothelial cells exposed to high glucose concentrations in the presence of aspirin, fenofibrate and clofibrate.
1808 16600694 The results showed that (i) aspirin, fenofibrate and clofibrate decrease significantly the MCP-1 expression and secretion in human endothelial cells; (ii) the high glucose up-regulated expression of MCP-1 in endothelial cells was significantly reduced by inhibitors of NF-kB and reactive oxygen species; (iii) all drugs notably decrease the level of the reactive oxygen species and activation of NF-kB and AP-1.
1809 16600694 Together, the findings indicate that in endothelial cells aspirin and PPAR-alpha activators reduce the high glucose-increased expression of MCP-1 by a mechanism that includes the inhibition of reactive oxygen species, and decrease of AP-1 and NF-kB activation.

1820 16644691 NFATc4 and ATF3 negatively regulate adiponectin gene expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
1821 16644691 Expression of adiponectin decreases with obesity and insulin resistance.
1822 16644691 The binding of NFATc4 to the promoter was associated with increased recruitment of histone deacetylase 1 and reduced acetylation of histone H3 at the promoter site.
1823 16644691 In addition, binding of activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) to the putative activator protein-1 site located adjacent to the NFAT binding site also repressed the promoter activity.
1824 16644691 Importantly, the binding activities of NFATc4 and ATF3, increased significantly in white adipose tissues of ob/ob and db/db mice compared with controls.
1825 16644691 Taken together, this study demonstrates for the first time that NFATc4 and ATF3 function as negative regulators of adiponectin gene expression, which may play critical roles in downregulating adiponectin expression in obesity and type 2 diabetes.
1826 16785991 Prolactin modulates phosphorylation, signaling and trafficking of epidermal growth factor receptor in human T47D breast cancer cells.
1827 16785991 Prolactin (PRL) is a polypeptide hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland and other sites that acts both systemically and locally to cause lactation and other biological effects by interacting with the PRL receptor, a Janus kinase (JAK)2-coupled cytokine receptor family member, and activating downstream signal pathways.
1828 16785991 Epidermal growth factor (EGF) also has effects on breast tissue, working through its receptors, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and ErbB-2 (c-neu, HER2), both intrinsic tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors.
1829 16785991 EGFR promotes pubertal breast ductal morphogenesis in mice, and both EGFR and ErbB-2 are relevant in pathogenesis and behavior of breast and other human cancers.
1830 16785991 Previous studies showed that PRL and EGF synergize to enhance motility in the human breast cancer cell line, T47D.
1831 16785991 In this study, we explored crosstalk between the PRL and EGF signaling pathways in T47D cells, with an ultimate aim of understanding how these two important factors might work together in vivo to affect breast cancer behavior.
1832 16785991 Both PRL and EGF caused robust signaling in T47D cells; PRL acutely activated JAK2, signal transducer and activator of transcription-5 (STAT5), and extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1 and -2 (ERK1 and ERK2), whereas EGF caused EGFR activation and consequent src homology collagen (SHC) activation and ERK activation.
1833 16785991 Notably, PRL also caused phosphorylation of the EGFR and ErbB-2 at sites detected by PTP101, an antibody that recognizes threonine phosphorylation at consensus motifs for ERK-induced phosphorylation.
1834 16785991 PRL-induced PTP101-reactive phosphorylation was prevented by pretreatment with PD98059, an ERK pathway inhibitor.
1835 16785991 Furthermore, PRL synergized with EGF in activating SHC and ERK and transactivating a luciferase reporter driven by c-fos gene enhancer elements, suggesting that PRL allowed markedly enhanced EGF signaling.
1836 16785991 This was accompanied by substantial inhibition of EGF-induced EGFR downregulation when PRL and EGF cotreatment was compared to EGF treatment alone.
1837 16785991 This effect of PRL was abrogated by ERK pathway inhibitor pretreatment.
1838 16785991 Our data suggest that PRL synergistically augments EGF signaling in T47D breast cancer cells at least in part by lessening EGF-induced EGFR downregulation and that this effect requires PRL-induced ERK activity and threonine phosphorylation of EGFR.
1839 16870158 PARP-1 overactivation and the subsequent extensive turnover of its substrate NAD+ put a large demand on mitochondrial ATP-production.
1840 16870158 Furthermore, due to its reported role in NF-kappaB and AP-1 mediated production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, PARP-1 is considered an interesting target in the treatment of these diseases.
1841 16870158 In this study the PARP-1 inhibiting capacity of caffeine and several metabolites as well as other (methyl)xanthines was tested using an ELISA-assay with purified human PARP-1.
1842 16870158 Caffeine itself showed only weak PARP-1 inhibiting activity, whereas the caffeine metabolites 1,7-dimethylxanthine, 3-methylxanthine and 1-methylxanthine, as well as theobromine and theophylline showed significant PARP-1 inhibiting activity.
1843 16870158 Concluding, caffeine metabolites are inhibitors of PARP-1 and the major caffeine metabolite 1,7-dimethylxanthine has significant PARP-1 inhibiting activity in cultured epithelial and endothelial cells at physiological concentrations.

1847 17168853 The role of growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor and somatostatin in diabetic retinopathy.
1848 17168853 Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) are implicated in the aberrant cell growth and pathological neovascularization that characterises proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
1849 17168853 IGF-I may exert its cell growth promoting properties by stimulating a number of pathways including protein-kinase B (Akt), nuclear factor kB (NF-kappaB)/AP-1 and hypoxic-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha).
1850 17168853 In addition, other growth factors may participate in IGF-I induced cell growth including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF).
1851 17168853 GH receptor antagonists, GH receptor antisense oligonucleotides, somatostatin analogues and receptor neutralising antibodies to IGF-I reduce hypoxic-induced retinal neovascularization.

1854 17264162 Moreover, glucokinase gene up-regulation requires the integrity of the juxtamembrane IR-B NPEY-motif and signaling via PI3K-C2alpha-like/PDK1/PKB, while c-fos gene activation requires the intact C-terminal YTHM-motif and signaling via PI3K Ia/Shc/MEK1/ERK.

1870 17349927 In untreated STZ rats (vs age-matched control rats): (1) ACh-induced relaxation, cGMP accumulation, phosphorylation of the cGMP-dependent protein kinase substrate vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein at Ser-239 [an established biochemical end-point of nitric oxide (NO)/cGMP signaling], and Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) expression and SOD activity were all reduced; (2) aortic superoxide generation, nitrotyrosine expression, and NAD(P)H oxidase activity were increased; (3) plasma endothelin-1 (ET-1) and aortic c-Jun (AP-1 component) protein expressions were increased.
1871 17349927 Collectively, these results suggest that pioglitazone treatment improves endothelium-dependent relaxation by reducing oxidative stress via increased SOD activity, decreased NAD(P)H oxidase activity, and a decreased ET-1 level, and that this decreased ET-1 level may be attributable to an inhibition of the AP-1 signaling pathway.

1895 17395747 We presently studied the molecular regulation of Chop expression in insulin-producing cells (INS-1E) in response to three pro-apoptotic and endoplasmic reticulum stress-inducing agents, namely the cytokines interleukin-1beta + interferon-gamma, the free fatty acid palmitate, and the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum pump Ca(2+) ATPase blocker cyclopiazonic acid (CPA).
1896 17395747 Cytokines, palmitate, and CPA induced eIF2alpha phosphorylation in INS-1E cells leading to activation of the transcription factor ATF4.
1897 17395747 Chop transcription in response to cytokines and palmitate depends on the binding of ATF4 and AP-1 to the Chop promoter, but distinct AP-1 dimers were formed by cytokines and palmitate.
1898 17424908 Of these, 4-hydroxy-2,3-nonenal (HNE) induces the expression and synthesis of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta1) and activates nuclear binding of transcription factor activator protein 1 (AP-1) thus stimulating fibrogenesis.
1899 17424908 CR protects the rat aorta from the age-related increase of both oxidative damage and fibrosis; as regards the possible mechanism/s of CR's protection against fibrosclerosis, it is conceivable that, by decreasing oxidative stress, CR reduces HNE levels and consequently TGFbeta1 expression and collagen deposition, likely by down-regulating the activation of Jun-N terminal kinase and of AP-1.

1903 17553792 Disruption of the insulin-like growth factor type 1 receptor in osteoblasts enhances insulin signaling and action.
1904 17553792 However, because insulin can cross-activate the insulin-like growth factor type 1 receptor (IGF-1R), which also functions in bone, it has been difficult to establish the direct (IGF-1-independent) actions of insulin in osteoblasts.
1905 17553792 To overcome this problem, we examined insulin signaling and action in primary osteoblasts engineered for conditional disruption of the IGF-1 receptor (DeltaIGF-1R).
1906 17553792 Disruption of IGF-1R mRNA (>90%) eliminated IGF-1R without affecting insulin receptor (IR) mRNA and protein expression and eliminated IGF-1R/IR hybrids.
1907 17553792 In DeltaIGF-1R osteoblasts, insulin signaling was markedly increased as evidenced by increased phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1/2 and enhanced ERK/Akt activation.
1908 17553792 Microarray analysis of RNA samples from insulin-treated, DeltaIGF-1R osteoblasts revealed striking changes in several genes known to be downstream of ERK including Glut-1 and c-fos.
1909 17553792 Treatment of osteoblasts with insulin induced Glut-1 mRNA, increased 2-[1,2-(3)H]-deoxy-d-glucose uptake, and enhanced proliferation.
1910 17553792 Moreover, insulin treatment rescued the defective differentiation and mineralization of DeltaIGF-1R osteoblasts, suggesting that IR signaling can compensate, at least in part, for loss of IGF-1R signaling.
1911 17553792 We conclude that insulin exerts direct anabolic actions in osteoblasts by activation of its cognate receptor and that the strength of insulin-generated signals is tempered through interactions with the IGF-1R.
1912 17554491 Glycated albumin induces activation of activator protein-1 in retinal glial cells.
1913 17569208 In this chapter, we briefly review the effects of curcumin on transcription factors NF-KB, AP-1, Egr-1, STATs, PPAR-gamma, beta-catenin, nrf2, EpRE, p53, CBP, and androgen receptor (AR) and AR-related cofactors giving major emphasis to the molecular mechanisms of its action.
1914 17569223 Curcumin inhibits these autoimmune diseases by regulating inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-12, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma and associated JAK-STAT, AP-1, and NF-kappaB signaling pathways in immune cells.
1915 17569617 Specifically, EGCG regulates expression of VEGF, matrix metalloproteinases, uPA, IGF-1, EGFR, cell cycle regulatory proteins and inhibits NFk B, PI3-K/Akt, Ras/Raf/MAPK and AP-1 signaling pathways, thereby causing strong cancer chemopreventive effects.
1916 17653206 Increased production of ROS, mainly from mitochondria and NAD(P)H oxidase, stimulates signaling cascades including protein kinase C and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway leading to nuclear translocation of transcription factors such as nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), activator protein 1, and specificity protein 1.
1917 17653206 Most important to clinical practice, a number of drugs commonly used in the treatment of diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, AT(1) receptor blockers, 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), and thiazolidindiones have shown promising 'preventive' intracellular antioxidant activity in addition to their primary pharmacological actions.

1939 17889958 AHSG/fetuin-A has diverse biological functions including regulation of calcium homeostasis and inhibition of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity.
1940 17889958 The overexpression of c-Fos/c-Jun significantly repressed transcriptional activity and a gel shift assay showed that the -799T DNA fragment had a greater affinity for transcription factor AP-1 than the -799A.
1941 17889958 In conclusion, SNP rs2248690 in the promoter region of the AHSG gene affects the AHSG gene transcription, possibly by producing different association with AP-1.
1942 17889958 AHSG/fetuin-A has diverse biological functions including regulation of calcium homeostasis and inhibition of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity.

1945 17901230 Oxidative balance, advanced glycated end products (AGEs) and AGE receptors, transcription factors nuclear factor-kappaB and activator protein-1, and profibrogenic growth factors (connective tissue growth factor and TGFbeta1) were determined in the left ventricle of treated and untreated streptozotocin-diabetic rats.
1946 17901230 DHEA treatment, by improving oxidative balance, counteracted the enhanced AGE receptor activation and increase of profibrogenic factors and restored tissue levels of collagen I, collagen IV, and fibronectin to those of control animals.
1947 17916333 GPR10 is a G-protein-coupled receptor expressed in thalamic and hypothalamic brain regions, including the reticular thalamic nucleus (RTN) and periventricular nucleus (Pev), and the endogenous ligand for this receptor, prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP), has demonstrated regulatory effects on the stress response.
1948 17916333 Furthermore, intracerebroventricular injection of PrRP did not induce a significant increase of c-fos-like immunoreactivity in the paraventricular nucleus of the mutant rats compared to the control rats.
1949 17916333 These data show the mutant congenic rat, of which GPR10 neither binds nor responds to PrRP, expresses less anxious-like phenotypes.
1950 17955498 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, the activation of nuclear transcription factors such as nuclear factor kappa B (NFkappaB) and activator protein-1 (AP-1), and the expression/production of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGFbeta(1)) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were evaluated in the presence or absence of ASX.
1951 18036354 In this study we examined the effect of the statin atorvastatin on the Akt/GSK-3beta pathway.
1952 18036354 Our findings indicate that atorvastatin treatment for 15 days inhibited pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy and prevented nuclear translocation of GATA4 and c-Jun and AP-1 DNA-binding activity.
1953 18036354 In addition, atorvastatin treatment prevented the increase in the phosphorylation of Akt and GSK-3beta caused by cardiac hypertrophy, and this effect correlated with an increase in protein levels of phosphatase and tensin homolog on chromosome 10 (PTEN), which negatively regulates the phosphoinositide-3 kinase/Akt pathway.
1954 18036354 To test whether the inhibitory effect of atorvastatin on Akt and GSK-3beta phosphorylation was direct we performed in vitro studies using embryonic rat heart-derived H9c2 cells, human AC16 cardiomyoblasts and neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.
1955 18036354 Preincubation of cells with atorvastatin prevented Akt/GSK-3beta phosphorylation by different hypertrophic stimuli without affecting PTEN protein levels.
1956 18036354 These findings point to a new potential anti-hypertrophic effect of statins, which can prevent activation of the Akt/GSK-3beta hypertrophic pathway by modulating PTEN activation by different mechanisms in chronic and acute treatments.

1972 18187539 To determine whether the p44/p42 MAPK (ERK1/2) signaling pathway is involved in the activation of CRH-containing neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) after bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration, Sprague Dawley rats were injected with LPS, and studied after 2, 6, 9, and 12 h.
1973 18187539 Intracerebroventricular administration of the MAPK inhibitor, PD98059, prevented LPS-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation, c-fos activation, and the increase of CRH gene expression in the PVN but had no effect on c-fos activation in brainstem A2-C1/C2 regions.
1974 18187539 We conclude that LPS rapidly increases the phospho-ERK1/2 in CRH-containing neurons in the PVN and that activation of MAPKs is necessary for LPS-induced activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
1975 18225590 The expression of EGFR, erbB2, erbB3, FGFR-2, FGFR-3, c-myc, N-ras, ets-1, H-ras, c-fos and c-jun, the tumor suppressor genes p53 and p16, apoptosis markers Bax and Bcl-2, and the cell proliferation marker Ki-67 in the sequential stages of rat oral oncogenesis was investigated.
1976 18225590 Diabetes seems to promote the activation of the Ras/Raf/MAPK signal transduction pathway mainly by induction of erbB2 and erbB3 receptors, leading to increased cell proliferation, while there was no difference in apoptosis levels during oncogenesis.
1977 18253705 Some of the beneficial changes by n-3 FA include enhancing antioxidant enzymes and lowering Th-1/Th-2 cytokines, adhesion molecules, COX-2/PGE(2) levels, pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha etc.
1978 18253705 Further, Fat-1 transgenic mice (which make n-3 FA endogenously in vivo from n-6 FA) when fed CR revealed decreased NF-kappaB and AP-1 activity and increased expression of life-prolonging gene SIRT1.

1983 18322467 As indicated via c-Fos expression, we found an OLZ-induced activation in the nucleus accumbens and orexin neurons in the lateral hypothalamus.
1984 18599066 Palmitate induced secretion and mRNA expression of TNF-alpha, IL-8 and IL-1 beta, and enhanced lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced IL-1 beta secretion.
1985 18599066 Palmitate phosphorylated p38 and JNK kinases, and blocking of these kinases with specific inhibitors diminished the palmitate-induced cytokine secretion.
1986 18599066 Palmitate also activated the AP-1 (c-Jun) transcription factor.
1987 18599066 Knockdown of MyD88 reduced the palmitate-induced IL-8, but not TNF-alpha or IL-1 beta secretion.
1988 18708524 C-reactive protein enhances macrophage lipoprotein lipase expression.
1989 18708524 To determine the role of CRP in diabetic atherosclerosis, we examined the effect of CRP on the expression of macrophage lipoprotein lipase (LPL), a proatherogenic molecule upregulated in type 2 diabetes.
1990 18708524 Treatment of human macrophages with native CRP increased, in a dose- and time-dependent manner, LPL protein expression and secretion.
1991 18708524 Preincubation of human macrophages with antioxidants, protein kinase C (PKC), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors prevented CRP-induced LPL expression.
1992 18708524 In CRP-treated J774 macrophages, increased macrophage LPL mRNA levels and enhanced binding of nuclear proteins to the activated protein-1 (AP-1)-enhancing element were observed.
1993 18708524 These effects were prevented by antioxidants, as well as by PKC, MAPK, and AP-1 inhibitors.
1994 18708524 These data show for the first time that CRP directly increases macrophage LPL expression and secretion.
1995 18708524 Given the predominant role of macrophage LPL in atherogenesis, LPL might represent a novel factor underlying the adverse effect of CRP on the diabetic vasculature.

2000 18708524 In CRP-treated J774 macrophages, increased macrophage LPL mRNA levels and enhanced binding of nuclear proteins to the activated protein-1 (AP-1)-enhancing element were observed.
2001 18708524 These effects were prevented by antioxidants, as well as by PKC, MAPK, and AP-1 inhibitors.
2002 18708524 These data show for the first time that CRP directly increases macrophage LPL expression and secretion.
2003 18708524 Given the predominant role of macrophage LPL in atherogenesis, LPL might represent a novel factor underlying the adverse effect of CRP on the diabetic vasculature.

2015 18769491 PPARs are known to modulate immune pathways through at least three different mechanisms: by direct binding to PPRE of anti-inflammatory cytokines genes; by transrepression of transcription factors like NF-kappaB and AP-1; or by corepression.
2016 18772235 Transgenic mice overexpressing DeltaFosB, an activator protein-1 transcription factor, under the control of the enolase 2 (ENO2) promoter exhibit both an increase in bone density and a decrease in adipose mass.
2017 18772235 In addition, the ENO2-DeltaFosB mice exhibit increased insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance.
2018 19106228 Emerging evidence indicates that aldosterone causes oxidative stress by stimulating proinflammatory/oxidative mediators, including nuclear factor-kappaB, activating protein (AP-1), and c-Jun N-terminal kinase.
2019 19106228 Thus, in insulin-resistant type 2 diabetes (T2D), oxidative stress generated by hyperglycemia and aldosterone would potentiate the oxidative destruction of tissue and important regulators of glucose metabolism like adiponectin and insulin.
2020 19106228 In contrast, reduced aldosterone alongside markers/mediators of oxidative stress, including 8-isoprostane, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, nuclear factor-kappaB, AP-1, and AP-2 were observed.
2021 19106228 Interestingly, in hemin-treated ZDF, inhibitory proteins of insulin-signaling, such as glycogen synthase kinase-3 and protein-tyrosine phosphatase-1B were reduced, whereas agents that promote insulin signaling including adiponectin, cAMP, AMP-activated protein kinase, aldolase-B, and glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4), were robustly increased.
2022 19106228 Correspondingly, hemin improved ip glucose tolerance, reduced insulin intolerance, and lowered insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance), and the inability of insulin to enhance GLUT4 was overturned.
2023 19106228 The synergistic interaction between the HO system, aldolase-B, adiponectin, AMP-activated protein kinase, and GLUT4 may be explored for novel strategies against postprandial/fasting hyperglycemia and insulin-resistant T2D.
2024 19106228 Emerging evidence indicates that aldosterone causes oxidative stress by stimulating proinflammatory/oxidative mediators, including nuclear factor-kappaB, activating protein (AP-1), and c-Jun N-terminal kinase.
2025 19106228 Thus, in insulin-resistant type 2 diabetes (T2D), oxidative stress generated by hyperglycemia and aldosterone would potentiate the oxidative destruction of tissue and important regulators of glucose metabolism like adiponectin and insulin.
2026 19106228 In contrast, reduced aldosterone alongside markers/mediators of oxidative stress, including 8-isoprostane, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, nuclear factor-kappaB, AP-1, and AP-2 were observed.

2030 19129396 We found that AAV-mediated overexpression of NPY in the DMH of lean rats increased food intake and body weight, and exacerbated high-fat diet-induced obesity.
2031 19129396 Knockdown of NPY expression in the DMH via AAV-mediated RNA interference ameliorated the hyperphagia, obesity, and diabetes of Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats.
2032 19129396 Moreover, we found that knockdown of DMH NPY expression in intact rats reduced NPY content in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) and the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus and affected within-meal satiation.
2033 19129396 DMH NPY knockdown increased the feeding inhibitory and NTS c-Fos responses to peripheral administration of cholecystokinin.
2034 19129396 Together, these results indicate that DMH NPY plays an important role in modulating food intake and energy balance and its dysregulation causes disordered energy balance leading to obesity.
2035 19190261 Since oxidative stress depletes adiponectin and insulin levels, we investigated whether an upregulated heme oxygenase (HO) system would attenuate the oxidative destruction of adiponectin/insulin and improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes.
2036 19190261 Interestingly, the antidiabetic effects of hemin lasted for 2 mo after termination of therapy and were accompanied by enhanced HO-1 and HO activity of the soleus muscle, along with potentiation of plasma antioxidants like bilirubin, ferritin, and superoxide dismutase, with corresponding elevation of the total antioxidant capacity.
2037 19190261 Importantly, hemin abated c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), a substance known to inhibit insulin biosynthesis, and suppressed markers/mediators of oxidative stress including 8-isoprostane, nuclear-factor (NF)-kappaB, activating protein (AP)-1, and AP-2 of the soleus muscle.
2038 19190261 Correspondingly, hemin increased plasma insulin and potentiated agents implicated in insulin sensitization and insulin signaling such as adiponectin, adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), cAMP, cGMP, and glucose transporter (GLUT)4, a protein required for glucose uptake.
2039 19208858 The reduction of hyperglycemia was accompanied by enhanced HO-1, HO activity, and cGMP of the soleus muscle, alongside increased plasma bilirubin, ferritin, SOD, total antioxidant capacity, and insulin levels, whereas markers/mediators of oxidative stress like urinary-8-isoprostane and soleus muscle nitrotyrosine, NF-kappaB, and activator protein-1 and -2 were abated.
2040 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.
2041 19208858 Correspondingly, hemin improved glucose tolerance, suppressed insulin intolerance, reduced insulin resistance, and overturned the inability of insulin to enhance glucose transporter 4, a protein required for glucose uptake.
2042 19208858 The synergistic interaction among HO, adiponectin, and GLUT4 may be explored against insulin-resistant diabetes.
2043 19210763 The signal transduction pathway of PKC/NF-kappa B/c-fos may be involved in the influence of high glucose on the cardiomyocytes of neonatal rats.

2085 19805233 Functional requirement of AgRP and NPY neurons in ovarian cycle-dependent regulation of food intake.
2086 19805233 In this study, we show that changes in hypothalamic expression of agouti-related protein (Agrp) and neuropeptide Y (Npy) coincide with the cyclic changes in feeding across the estrous cycle.
2087 19805233 Furthermore, E2 treatment suppresses fasting-induced c-Fos activation in AgRP and NPY neurons and blunts the refeeding response.
2088 19805233 Surprisingly, although estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) is the key mediator of estrogen's anorexigenic effects, we find that expression of ERalpha is completely excluded from AgRP and NPY neurons in the mouse hypothalamus, suggesting that estrogen may regulate these neurons indirectly via presynaptic neurons that express ERalpha.
2089 19805233 This study indicates that neurons coexpressing AgRP and NPY are functionally required for the cyclic changes in feeding across estrous cycle and that AgRP and NPY neurons are essential mediators of estrogen's anorexigenic function.

2099 19837872 In addition, we demonstrated that DN-JNK1 but not DN-JNK2 or CA-Akt abolished the PGE(2)-induced AP-1 luciferase reporter activity, whereas DN-JNK1 and CA-Akt but not DN-JNK2 reversed the effect of PGE(2) on FOXO1 transcriptional activity, and overexpression of DN-JNK1 rescued PGE(2)-impaired GSIS in mouse islets.
2100 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.

2125 20109524 Key role of the ERK1/2 MAPK pathway in the transcriptional regulation of the Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase (SCD1) gene expression in response to leptin.
2126 20109524 In liver, many factors regulate SCD1 expression including dietary and hormonal factors such as insulin and leptin.
2127 20109524 We previously showed in hepatic cells that insulin acts through the PI3K and mTOR pathways to upregulate SCD1 expression.
2128 20109524 In the present study, using HepG2 cells, we characterized the signaling pathway mediating the leptin inhibitory response on SCD1 gene expression.
2129 20109524 We showed that leptin inhibits SCD1 at the transcriptional level.
2130 20109524 Inhibition of the ERK1/2 MAPK pathway with the PD98059 reverses the effect of leptin on SCD1 expression.
2131 20109524 Using the pharmaceutical inhibitors Ag490 and SL0101, we showed that the inhibitory effect of leptin is also mediated by the Janus Kinase 2 (Jak2) and p90RSK.
2132 20109524 EMSA and transfection experiments suggest a key role for the Sp1 transcription factor, which in turn may compete for the binding of other transcription factors such as AP-1, leading to the inhibition of SCD1 transcription.
2133 20109524 Taken together, our observations showed that, independently of insulin action, leptin exerts an inhibitory effect on SCD1 transcription via a signaling pathway implicating Jak2, ERK1/2, and p90RSK which probably targets the downstream transcription factor Sp1 on the SCD1 promoter.
2134 20194306 By contrast, intracerebroventricular leptin produced less neurons expressing c-Fos in HFD compared with control rabbits in regions important for appetite and sympathetic actions of leptin (arcuate: -54%, paraventricular: -69%, and dorsomedial hypothalamus: -65%).

2138 20225236 In the present study, we investigated the regulatory effect of IL-6 alone or in combination with high glucose on MMP-1 expression by U937 mononuclear phagocytes.
2139 20225236 We found that IL-6 is a powerful stimulator for MMP-1 expression and high glucose further augmented IL-6-stimulated MMP-1 expression.
2140 20225236 We also found that high glucose, IL-6, and lipopolysaccharide act in concert to stimulate MMP-1 expression.
2141 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.
2142 20225236 We also observed that IL-6 and high glucose stimulated the expression of c-Jun, a key subunit of AP-1 known to be essential for MMP-1 transcription.
2143 20225236 The role of c-Jun in MMP-1 expression was confirmed by the finding that suppression of c-Jun expression by RNA interference significantly inhibited MMP-1 expression.
2144 20225236 Finally, we demonstrated that similarly to U937 mononuclear phagocytes, IL-6 and high glucose also stimulated MMP-1 secretion from human primary monocytes.
2145 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.

2185 20444941 Chelerythrine and Rottlerin also inhibited glucose-induced phosphorylation of Raf-1 (Y340/341), ERK1/2, JNK, NF-kappaB p65 (S536), and c-Jun (S63).
2186 20444941 GW5074 and U0126 inhibited the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and NF-kappaB p65 (S536).
2187 20444941 SP600125 inhibited phosphorylation of NF-kappaB p65 (S536) and c-Jun (S63).
2188 20444941 We conclude that high glucose up-regulates the expression of PRR through mechanisms dependent on both PKC-Raf-ERK and PKC-JNK-c-Jun signaling pathways.
2189 20444941 NF-kappaB and AP-1 are involved in high-glucose-induced PRR up-regulation in rat mesangial cells.
2190 20452384 In contrast, high glucose, insulin or EGF failed to affect ACE expression.
2191 20452384 The effect of TNF-alpha was abated by etanercept, the IKK2 inhibitor TPCA-1, or a p38 inhibitor while that of PMA was reduced by inhibitors of PKC isoforms sensitive to phorbol esters and calcium.
2192 20452384 The short-term PKC- and MEK1-dependent increase of c-Fos expression was best correlated to PMA-induced ACE upregulation.
2193 20542118 Quercetin attenuates Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 gene expression in glucose primed aortic endothelial cells through NF-kappaB and AP-1.

2223 20581830 The transcription factor MafB antagonizes antiviral responses by blocking recruitment of coactivators to the transcription factor IRF3.
2224 20581830 Viral infection induces type I interferons (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta) that recruit unexposed cells in a self-amplifying response.
2225 20581830 MafB acted as a weak positive basal regulator of transcription at the IFNB1 promoter through activity at transcription factor AP-1-like sites.
2226 20581830 Interferon elicitors recruited the transcription factor IRF3 to the promoter, whereupon MafB acted as a transcriptional antagonist, impairing the interaction of coactivators with IRF3.
2227 20581830 Mathematical modeling supported the view that prepositioning of MafB on the promoter allows the system to respond rapidly to fluctuations in IRF3 activity.
2228 20625991 The nuclear hormone receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that specifies formation of the adipocyte lineage.
2229 20625991 Our results demonstrate that changes in chromatin accessibility at the PPARγ2 promoter and occupancy of the promoter by the c-Fos transcription factor occur within an hour of the onset of differentiation, followed closely by the binding of the CCAAT/enhancer binding protein beta (C/EBPβ) transcription factor.
2230 20658772 In the diabetic CN, the number of c-Fos-LI cells also peaked at 2 weeks after MNT, which was consistent with the temporal pattern of changes in NPY expression.
2231 20658772 The results suggest that in diabetes, MNT induced NPY expression via the reduction of NT-3, and electrical stimulation of the injured median nerve evoked the release of NPY and accordingly more c-Fos-LI cells were identified in the CN.
2232 20658772 Furthermore, this study demonstrated early NPY and c-Fos expression in the diabetic rats after MNT, suggesting that the development of neuropathic signs may be advanced in hyperglycemic rats.
2233 20658772 In the diabetic CN, the number of c-Fos-LI cells also peaked at 2 weeks after MNT, which was consistent with the temporal pattern of changes in NPY expression.
2234 20658772 The results suggest that in diabetes, MNT induced NPY expression via the reduction of NT-3, and electrical stimulation of the injured median nerve evoked the release of NPY and accordingly more c-Fos-LI cells were identified in the CN.
2235 20658772 Furthermore, this study demonstrated early NPY and c-Fos expression in the diabetic rats after MNT, suggesting that the development of neuropathic signs may be advanced in hyperglycemic rats.

2239 20693579 The mRNA levels of peroxidase proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α (C/EBPα), but not CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein ((C/EBP) β and δ, were reduced by UVA.
2240 20693579 Moreover, the mRNA levels of PPAR γ target genes (lipoprotein lipase (LPL), CD36, adipocyte protein (aP2), and liver X receptor α (LXR)) were down-regulated by UVA.
2241 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-κB.
2242 20693579 AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylation and up-regulation of Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) were induced by UVA.
2243 20693579 Taken together, these findings suggest that the inhibition of adipogenic differentiation of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells by UVA occurs primarily through the reduced expression of PPAR γ, which is mediated by up-regulation of KLF2 via the activation of MIF-AMP-activated protein kinase signaling.
2244 20818503 Increased expression of the receptor for activation of NF-kappaB and decreased runt-related transcription factor 2 expression in bone of rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes.
2245 20818503 Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is associated with an increased risk of osteopenia/osteoporosis in humans.
2246 20818503 Markers of bone formation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and the number of osteoblasts in the proximal tibia and the serum osteocalcin level, were significantly lower.
2247 20818503 Markers of bone resorption, activity of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and cathepsin K and the number of osteoclasts in the proximal tibia and urinary excretion of deoxypyridinoline, were higher in diabetic rats than control rats. mRNA levels of receptor for activation of NF-kappaB (RANK), c-fos, c-jun, TRAP and cathepsin K were significantly increased in diabetic rats, although RANK ligand, osteoprotegerin, macrophage colony-stimulating factor and c-fms levels were similar to the control value.
2248 20818503 The decreased expression of ALP, osteoclacin and collagen mRNA in diabetic rats was associated with decreases in the expression of Runx2, Dlx5 and osterix and an unaltered expression of bone morphogenic protein-2.
2249 20818503 The level of RANK protein increased and Runx2 protein decreased in diabetic rats.
2250 20818503 These suggested that short-term IDDM induced upregulation of osteoclastogenesis with an increase in RANK and downregulation of osteoblastogenesis with a decrease in Runx2 in bone.
2251 20820192 BRCA1 affects global DNA methylation through regulation of DNMT1.
2252 20820192 In this study, we showed that DNMT1, which encodes a methylation maintenance enzyme, is a transcriptional target of BRCA1.
2253 20820192 BRCA1 binds to the promoter of the DNMT1 gene through a potential OCT1 site and the binding is required for maintaining a transcriptional active configuration of the promoter in both mouse and human cells.
2254 20820192 BRCA1 deficiency is also associated with significantly increased expression levels of several protooncogenes, including c-Fos, Ha-Ras, and c-Myc, with a higher expression in tumors, while premalignant mammary epithelial cells displayed an intermediate state between tumors and controls.
2255 20820192 In human clinical samples, reduced expression of BRCA1 correlates with decreased levels of DNMT1, and reduced methylation of CpG islands.
2256 20820192 Thus, BRCA1 prevents global DNA hypomethylation through positively regulating DNMT1 expression, and this provides one of mechanisms for BRCA1-associated breast cancer formation.
2257 20946955 Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signal through EGF and PDGF receptors, which are important receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs).
2258 20946955 Growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) are four helical bundle peptide hormones that signal via GHR and PRLR, members of the cytokine receptor superfamily.
2259 20946955 We find that GH and EGF specifically synergize for activation of ERK in murine preadipocytes.
2260 20946955 The locus of this synergy resides at the level of MEK activation, but not above this level (i.e., not at the level of EGFR, SHC, or Raf activation).
2261 20946955 Furthermore, dephosphorylation of the scaffold protein, KSR, at a critical serine residue is also synergistically promoted by GH and EGF, suggesting that GH sensitizes these cells to EGF-induced ERK activation by augmenting the actions of KSR in facilitating MEK-ERK activation.
2262 20946955 Similarly specific synergy in ERK activation is also detected in human T47D breast cancer cells by cotreatment with PRL and PDGF.
2263 20946955 Consistent with this synergy, PRL and PDGF also synergized for c-fos-dependent transactivation of a luciferase reporter gene in T47D cells, indicating that events downstream of ERK activation reflect this signaling synergy.
2264 21071580 Malfunctioning of retinoid X receptor (RXR) α due to phosphorylation by Ras/MAPK also plays a critical role in liver carcinogenesis.
2265 21071580 ACR markedly inhibited the activation of Ras and phosphorylation of the ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) and RXRα proteins in the livers of experimental mice.
2266 21071580 It also increased the expression of RAR β and p21(CIP1) mRNA while decreasing the expression of cyclin D1, c-Fos, and c-Jun mRNA in the liver, thereby restoring RXRα function.
2267 21071580 The serum levels of TNF-α and the expression levels of TNF- α, IL-6, and IL-1 β mRNA in the livers of DEN-treated db/db mice were decreased by ACR treatment, suggesting attenuation of the chronic inflammation induced by excessive fatty deposits.
2268 21076077 Peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) ligands improve insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
2269 21076077 Despite clinical studies showing normalization of pituitary responsiveness to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in patients with PCOS, the precise role of PPARG in regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis remains unclear.
2270 21076077 In mouse LbetaT2 immortalized gonadotrophs, rosiglitazone treatment inhibited GnRH stimulation of the stress kinases p38MAPK and MAPKs/JNKs, but did not alter activation of ERKs, both in the presence and absence of activin.
2271 21076077 Furthermore, p38MAPK signaling was critical for both Lhb and Fshb promoter activity, and rosiglitazone suppressed the GnRH-mediated induction of Lhb and Fshb mRNA.
2272 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.
2273 21076077 Lastly, we show conditional knockout of Pparg in pituitary gonadotrophs caused an increase in luteinizing hormone levels in female mice, a decrease in follicle-stimulating hormone in male mice, and a fertility defect characterized by reduced litter size.
2274 21196299 The expression levels of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6 and VEGF in cultured rat Muller cells were enhanced by 1 mM glyoxal.
2275 21196299 The elevated TNF-alpha and IL-1beta, but not IL-6 and VEGF, were decreased by 2 U/ml EPO as detected by real-time PCR and ELISA.
2276 21196299 Moreover, the activity of AP-1 but not NF-kappaB was modulated by glyoxal and EPO.
2277 21196299 Intravitreal injection of EPO performed 24 h prior to sacrifice significantly reduced TNF-alpha and IL-1beta production while moderately attenuating IL-6 and VEGF in the retinas of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
2278 21196299 Furthermore, Muller cells were identified as the main source of IL-1beta production as indicated by co-localization of IL-1beta and CRALBP in situ.
2279 21252113 Furthermore, troxerutin significantly inhibited the activation of c-jun N-terminal kinase 1 and IκB kinase β/nuclear factor-κB induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress and enhanced insulin signalling pathway, which prevented obesity, restored normal levels of blood glucose, fatty acids and cholesterol and increased the phosphorylation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element-binding protein and the expression levels of c-fos in the hippocampus.
2280 21252113 Moreover, troxerutin significantly inhibited endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis and decreased the activation of caspase-12 and caspase-3, and reduced the mean optical density of the terminal deoxyribonucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-digoxigenin nick end label-positive cells in the hippocampus.
2281 21317849 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can modulate cellular function, receptor signals and immune responses in physiological conditions, but when present in excess, they mediate progressive endothelial damage through growth and migration of vascular smooth muscle and inflammatory cells, alteration of extracellular matrix, apoptosis of endothelial cells, activation of transcription factors (NFkB, AP-1), over-expression of inflammatory cytokines and adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, VCAM-1 , E-selectin).
2282 21317849 Recent evidences suggest that the major source of ROS is the NADPH-oxidase, especially activated by angiotensin II, shear stress and hyperglycemia.
2283 21372692 Enoxaparin reduces adrenergic contraction of resistance arterioles in aging and in aging associated with diabetes via engagement of MAP kinase pathway.
2284 21372692 The diminishment of contractility is exerted via MAP kinase pathway, and involves reduction of c-fos gene expression and of transcription factor AP-1 protein expression.
2285 21372692 Understanding the signal transduction mechanisms involved in the altered contractility of vascular wall could provide useful information on the development of specific MAP kinase inhibitors with therapeutic benefits and reduced side effects.
2286 21841823 Pancreatic β-cells activate a JunB/ATF3-dependent survival pathway during inflammation.
2287 21841823 Histochemical analysis of pancreases from non-obese diabetic mice indicated activation of the transcription factor JunB/AP-1 (activator protein-1) after autoimmune infiltration of the islets.
2288 21841823 In vitro studies demonstrated that the cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interferon (IFN)-γ induce JunB expression as a protective mechanism against apoptosis in both human and rodent β-cells.
2289 21841823 The gene network affected was studied by microarray analysis showing that JunB regulates nearly 20% of the cytokine-modified β-cell genes, including the transcription factor ATF3.
2290 21841823 Direct transcriptional induction of ATF3 by JunB is a key event for β-cell survival after TNF-α+IFN-γ treatment.
2291 21841823 Moreover, pharmacological upregulation of JunB/ATF3 via increased cAMP protected rodent primary β-cells and human islet cells against pro-inflammatory mediators.
2292 21841823 Our findings identify ATF3 as a novel downstream target of JunB in the survival mechanism of β-cells under inflammatory stress.
2293 21975875 Downstream of RhoA signaling, activator protein-1 (AP-1) activation was also inhibited by disrupting caveolae, was absent in caveolin-1 knockout MC and rescued by caveolin-1 reexpression.
2294 21975875 Finally, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 upregulation, mediated by AP-1, was prevented by RhoA signaling inhibition and by disruption or absence of caveolae.
2295 21975875 Downstream of RhoA signaling, activator protein-1 (AP-1) activation was also inhibited by disrupting caveolae, was absent in caveolin-1 knockout MC and rescued by caveolin-1 reexpression.
2296 21975875 Finally, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 upregulation, mediated by AP-1, was prevented by RhoA signaling inhibition and by disruption or absence of caveolae.
2297 21998146 Finally, by inhibiting SphK1 activity, both N,N-dimethylsphingosine and SphK(G82D) markedly attenuated the HG-induced AP-1 activity.
2298 22110483 TNFα induces vascular inflammation, monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells, vascular oxidative stress, apoptosis, and atherogenic response and participates in the regulation of thrombosis and coagulation through multiple signaling pathways involving NFκB, Sp1, activator protein 1, JNK, p38, STAT3, and so forth.
2299 22331607 Oxidation and glycation enhance foam cell formation via MAPK/JNK in euglycemic and diabetic subjects.
2300 22331607 Glc-oxLDL induced a broad cascade of MAPK/JNK-dependent signaling transduction pathways and the AP-1 complex.
2301 22331607 In glc-oxLDL treated coronary arterioles, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α increased JNK phosphorylation, whereas protein kinase inhibitor dimethylaminopurine (DMAP) prevented the TNF-induced increase in JNK phosphorylation.
2302 22331607 The role of MKK4 and JNK were then investigated in vivo, using apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE(-/-)) mice.
2303 22331607 Compared to streptozotocin-treated diabetic C57BL6 and nondiabetic C57BL6 Wt mice, in streptozotocin-diabetic ApoE(-/-) mice, the increment of foam cell formation corresponded to an increment of phosphorylation of JNK1, JNK2, and MMK4.
2304 22351769 Contraction-induced interleukin-6 gene transcription in skeletal muscle is regulated by c-Jun terminal kinase/activator protein-1.
2305 22351769 Rather, we show that EPS increased the phosphorylation of JNK and the reporter activity of the downstream transcription factor AP-1.
2306 22351769 Furthermore, JNK inhibition abolished the EPS-induced increase in IL-6 mRNA and protein expression.
2307 22351769 Finally, we observed an exercise-induced increase in both JNK phosphorylation and IL-6 mRNA expression in the skeletal muscles of mice after 30 min of treadmill running.
2308 22351769 Importantly, exercise did not increase IL-6 mRNA expression in skeletal muscle-specific JNK-deficient mice.
2309 22351769 Contraction-induced interleukin-6 gene transcription in skeletal muscle is regulated by c-Jun terminal kinase/activator protein-1.
2310 22351769 Rather, we show that EPS increased the phosphorylation of JNK and the reporter activity of the downstream transcription factor AP-1.

2314 22386866 Different signaling mechanisms regulating IL-6 expression by LPS between gingival fibroblasts and mononuclear cells: seeking the common target.
2315 22386866 To reduce connective tissue IL-6 level stimulated by LPS, it is essential to control IL-6 expression in both mononuclear cells and fibroblasts.
2316 22386866 In this study, we found that signaling pathways mediating LPS-stimulated IL-6 in mononuclear U937 cells and fibroblasts were different.
2317 22386866 Furthermore, our studies showed that while LPS activated AP-1 and NFκB in U937 cells, it only activated NFκB in fibroblasts.
2318 22386866 Analysis of nuclear AP-1 subunits showed that LPS stimulated c-Fos, Fra-1 and Jun D activities in U937 cells, but not fibroblasts.
2319 22386866 The lack of ERK involvement in LPS-stimulated IL-6 in fibroblasts was further supported by the observations that simvastatin, which is known to target ERK-AP-1, failed to inhibit LPS-stimulated IL-6 by fibroblasts.
2320 22386866 Finally, we showed that targeting NFκB pathway was highly effective in inhibition of LPS-stimulated IL-6 in coculture of U937 cells and fibroblasts.

2333 22386866 The lack of ERK involvement in LPS-stimulated IL-6 in fibroblasts was further supported by the observations that simvastatin, which is known to target ERK-AP-1, failed to inhibit LPS-stimulated IL-6 by fibroblasts.
2334 22386866 Finally, we showed that targeting NFκB pathway was highly effective in inhibition of LPS-stimulated IL-6 in coculture of U937 cells and fibroblasts.
2335 22425757 The aim of this study was to investigate the capacity of (-)-epicatechin to prevent tumor necrosis alpha (TNFα)-induced activation of cell signals involved in inflammation and insulin resistance (NF-κB, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), AP-1, and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ)) in differentiated white adipocytes (3T3-L1).
2336 22425757 TNFα triggered the activation of transcription factors NF-κB and AP-1, and MAPKs ERK1/2, JNK, and p38. (-)-Epicatechin caused a dose (0.5-10 μM)-dependent decrease in TNFα-mediated JNK, ERK1/2, and p-38 phosphorylation, and nuclear AP-1-DNA binding. (-)-Epicatechin also inhibited TNFα-triggered activation of the NF-κB signaling cascade, preventing TNFα-mediated p65 nuclear transport and nuclear NF-κB-DNA binding. (-)-Epicatechin also attenuated the TNFα-mediated downregulation of PPARγ expression and decreased nuclear DNA binding.
2337 22425757 Accordingly, (-)-epicatechin inhibited TNFα-mediated altered transcription of genes (MCP-1, interleukin-6, TNFα, resistin, and protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B) involved in inflammation and insulin signaling.

2365 22902540 The human SHBG promoter sequence contains two putative activator protein 1 (AP1) binding sites recognized by c-Jun transcription factors, but they are not necessary for the IL1β-induced down-regulation of SHBG promoter activity in luciferase reporter gene assays.

2400 23085271 Altogether, these data not only demonstrate that berberine is an important agent against diabetic nephropathy through inhibition of SphK1/AP-1 pathway, but also indicate that the inhibition of SphK1/AP-1 by berberine is independent of ambient glucose concentration.

2406 23089228 Heme arginate reduced visceral adiposity and enhanced HO activity and cGMP in the adipose tissue, but suppressed ET-1, nuclear-factor κB (NF-κB), activating-protein (AP-1), c-Jun-NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), macrophage chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and 8-isoprostane.
2407 23089228 These were associated with reduced glycemia, increased insulin, and the insulin-sensitizing protein adiponectin, with corresponding reduction in insulin resistance.

2409 23089228 Because 8-isoprostane stimulates ET-1 to enhance oxidative insults, and increased oxidative events deplete adiponectin and insulin levels, the suppression of oxidative/inflammatory mediators such as 8-isoprostane, NF-κB, AP-1, MCP-1, ICAM-1, and JNK, an inhibitor of insulin biosynthesis, may account for the potentiation of insulin signaling/glucose metabolism by heme arginate.

2418 23104131 This effect is mediated partly through increased interleukin-10 (Il-10) production by LNFPIII-activated macrophages and dendritic cells, which reduces white adipose tissue inflammation and sensitizes the insulin response of adipocytes.
2419 23104131 At the signaling level, the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk)-activator protein 1 (Ap1) pathway seems to mediate the effects of LNFPIII on both inflammatory and metabolic pathways.
2420 23142567 c-Jun NH2-terminal kinases (JNKs) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) play critical roles in chronic diseases such as cancer, type II diabetes, and obesity.
2421 23142567 We describe here the binding of quercetagetin (3,3',4',5,6,7-hydroxyflavone), related flavonoids, and SP600125 to JNK1 and PI3-K by ATP-competitive and immobilized metal ion affinity-based fluorescence polarization assays and measure the effect of quercetagetin on JNK1 and PI3-K activities.
2422 23142567 Quercetagetin attenuated the phosphorylation of c-Jun and AKT, suppressed AP-1 and NF-κB promoter activities, and also reduced cell transformation.
2423 23264620 Accordingly, overexpression of PGC-1β decreased the expression of minichromosome maintenance 4 (MCM4), which leads to a decreased loading of the MCM complex onto chromatin at the replication origins and decreased cyclin D1 levels, whereas PGC-1β loss of function by adenovirus containing PGC-1β shRNA resulted in the opposite effect.
2424 23264620 The transcription factor AP-1 was involved in the down-regulation of MCM4 expression.
2425 23390498 SGLT1 and 2 expression and various inflammatory/fibrotic markers were assessed.

2427 23390498 HG induced expression of Toll-like receptor-4, increased nuclear deoxyribonucleic acid binding for nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and activator protein 1, induced collagen IV expression as well as interleukin-6 secretion all of which were attenuated with empagliflozin.
2428 23390498 SGLT1 and GLUT2 expression was not significantly altered with HG or empagliflozin.
2429 23390498 In conclusion, empagliflozin reduces HG induced inflammatory and fibrotic markers by blocking glucose transport and did not induce a compensatory increase in SGLT1/GLUT2 expression.
2430 23412668 The results showed that levels of glucose, leptin, insulin, C-peptide, resistin, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-6 in serum were down-regulated, while adiponectin was augmented by GS treatment.

2441 23442249 In ZDFs, hemin administration increased HO activity; normalized glycemia; potentiated insulin signaling by enhancing insulin receptor substrate 1(IRS-1), phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), and protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt; suppressed pericardial adiposity, cardiac hypertrophy, and left ventricular longitudinal muscle fiber thickness, a pathophysiological feature of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy; and correspondingly reduced systolic blood pressure, total peripheral resistance, and pro-inflammatory/oxidative mediators, including nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), cJNK, c-Jun-N-terminal kinase (cJNK), endothelin (ET-1), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, activating protein 1 (AP-1), and 8-isoprostane, whereas the HO inhibitor, stannous mesoporphyrin, nullified the effects.
2442 23442249 Because NF-κB activates TNFα, IL-6, and IL-1β and TNF-α, cJNK, and AP-1 impair insulin signaling, the high levels of these cytokines in obesity/diabetes would create a vicious cycle that, together with 8-isoprostane and ET-1, exacerbates cardiac injury, compromising cardiac function.
2443 23442249 Therefore, the concomitant reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and macrophage infiltration coupled to increased expressions of IRS-1, PI3K, and PKB may account for enhanced glucose metabolism and amelioration of cardiac injury and function in diabetic cardiomyopathy.

2472 23533381 Combined Effects of PPAR γ Agonists and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitors in Human Proximal Tubule Cells.
2473 23533381 We aimed to determine whether epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibition, in addition to a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR γ ) agonist, prevents high-glucose-induced proximal tubular fibrosis, inflammation, and sodium and water retention in human proximal tubule cells exposed to normal glucose; high glucose; high glucose with the PPAR γ agonist pioglitazone or with the P-EGFR inhibitor, gefitinib; or high glucose with both pioglitazone and gefitinib.
2474 23533381 We have shown that high glucose increases AP-1 and NF κ B binding activity, downstream phosphorylation of EGFR and Erk1/2, and fibronectin and collagen IV expression.
2475 23533381 Pioglitazone reversed these effects but upregulated NHE3 and AQP1 expression.
2476 23533381 Gefitinib inhibited high glucose induced fibronectin and collagen IV, and EGFR and Erk1/2 phosphorylation and reversed pioglitazone-induced increases in NHE3 and AQP1 expression.
2477 23533381 Our data suggests that combination of an EGFR inhibitor and a PPAR γ agonist mitigates high-glucose-induced fibrosis and inflammation and reverses the upregulation of transporters and channels involved in sodium and water retention in human proximal tubule cells.
2478 23533381 Hence EGFR blockade may hold promise, not only in limiting tubulointerstitial pathology in diabetic nephropathy, but also in limiting the sodium and water retention observed in patients with diabetes and exacerbated by PPAR γ agonists.
2479 23567861 The results showed that levels of glucose, leptin, insulin, C-peptide, resistin, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, triglycerides, total cholesterol, non-esterified fatty acids, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS) in serum were down-regulated, while adiponectin was augmented by GS treatment.

2482 23651165 Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a nuclear receptor, originally described in adipose tissue, that controls the expression of a large number of regulatory genes in lipid metabolism and insulin sensitization.
2483 23651165 During inflammation, PPAR acts directly to negatively regulate gene expression of proinflammatory genes in a ligand-dependent manner by antagonizing the activities of other transcription factors such as members of the NF-κB and AP-1 families.

2495 23735664 The decrease in β-catenin, phosphorylated GSK3β, phosphorylated Akt, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) protein levels in diabetic rats was also inhibited, although Zn did not affect the diabetes-increased gene and protein expression of Sost and Dkk1.
2496 23735664 These results suggested that Zn prevented the diabetes-induced increase in osteoclastogenesis and decrease in osteoblastogenesis by inhibiting RANK expression and stimulating IGF-1/IGF-1R/Akt/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling, respectively.
