23 1737788 An array of insulin-activated, proline-directed serine/threonine protein kinases phosphorylate the p70 S6 kinase.
24 1737788 This study characterizes the insulin-activated serine/threonine protein kinases in H4 hepatoma cells active on a 37-residue synthetic peptide (called the SKAIPS peptide) corresponding to a putative autoinhibitory domain in the carboxyl-terminal tail of the p70 S6 kinase as well as on recombinant p70 S6 kinase.
25 1737788 Three peaks of insulin-stimulated protein kinase active on both these substrates are identified as two (possibly three) isoforms of the 40-45-kDa erk/microtubule-associated protein (MAP)-2 kinase family and a 150-kDa form of cdc2.
26 1737788 Although distinguishable in their substrate specificity, these protein kinases together with the p54 MAP-2 kinase share a major common specificity determinant reflected in the SKAIPS peptide: the requirement for a proline residue immediately carboxyl-terminal to the site of Ser/Thr phosphorylation.
27 1737788 In addition, however, at least one peak of insulin-stimulated protein kinase active on recombinant p70, but not on the SKAIPS peptide, is present although not yet identified.
28 1737788 MFP/cdc2 phosphorylates both rat liver p70 S6 kinase and recombinant p70 S6 kinase exclusively at a set of Ser/Thr residues within the putative autoinhibitory (SKAIPS peptide) domain. erk/MAP kinase does not phosphorylate rat liver p70 S6 kinase, but readily phosphorylates recombinant p70 S6 kinase at sites both within and in addition to those encompassed by the SKAIPS peptide sequences.
29 1737788 Although the tryptic 32P-peptides bearing the cdc2 and erk/MAP kinase phosphorylation sites co-migrate with a subset of the sites phosphorylated in situ in insulin-stimulated cells, phosphorylation of the p70 S6 kinase by these proline-directed protein kinases in vitro does not reproducibly activate p70 S6 kinase activity.
30 1737788 Thus, one or more erk/MAP kinases and cdc2 are likely to participate in the insulin-induced phosphorylation of the p70 S6 kinase.
31 1737788 In addition to these kinases, however, phosphorylation of the p70 S6 kinase by other as yet unidentified protein kinases is necessary to recapitulate the multisite phosphorylation required for activation of the p70 S6 kinase.

44 7556949 The mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases and ribosomal S6 protein kinases in the skeletal muscle of insulin-resistant long-term (2 and 6 months' duration) diabetic rats were investigated to understand further the changes in insulin intracellular signaling pathways that accompany diabetes.
45 7556949 In the insulin-resistant 2-month diabetic rats, the basal activities of MAP kinases were relatively unchanged, while the basal activities of S6 kinases were significantly increased.
46 7556949 Intravenous injection of insulin moderately activated both the 42-kDa MAP kinase (p42mapk) and a 44-kDa MAP kinase (p44erk1) in the 2-month control rats but not in the 2-month diabetic rats.
47 7556949 This correlated with reductions in the amount of immunoreactive p42mapk and p44erk1 proteins in extracts from the diabetic rats.

73 7822300 Stimulation of protein phosphatase-1 activity by insulin in rat adipocytes.
74 7822300 In this study, we examined the distribution of protein serine/threonine phosphatase-1 (PP-1) and analyzed the effect of insulin on PP-1 and its mechanism of activation in freshly isolated rat adipocytes.
75 7822300 The adipocyte particulate fraction (PF) constituted approximately 80% of cellular PP-1 activity, while PP-2A was entirely cytosolic.
76 7822300 Insulin rapidly stimulated PF PP-1 in a time- and dose-dependent manner (maximum stimulation at 5 min with 4 nM insulin).
77 7822300 Immunoprecipitation of PF with an antibody against the site-1 sequence of rabbit skeletal muscle glycogen-associated PP-1 (PP-1G) subunit indicated that approximately 40% of adipocyte PP-1 activity was due to PP-1G form of the enzyme.
78 7822300 Insulin stimulated PP-1G (120% over basal levels) without affecting the other forms of PP-1 in the PF.
79 7822300 Insulin activation of PP-1 was accompanied by > 2-fold increase in the phosphorylation state of the 160-kDa regulatory subunit of PP-1.
80 7822300 Stimulation of p21Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway (MAP) with GTP analogues also resulted in stimulation of PP-1 similar to insulin.

84 7822300 We conclude that insulin rapidly activates a membrane-associated PP-1 in adipocytes, which may be similar to rabbit skeletal muscle PP-1G, and the activation is mediated by p21Ras/MAP kinase pathway.

115 7822300 Insulin activation of PP-1 was accompanied by > 2-fold increase in the phosphorylation state of the 160-kDa regulatory subunit of PP-1.
116 7822300 Stimulation of p21Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway (MAP) with GTP analogues also resulted in stimulation of PP-1 similar to insulin.
117 7822300 The insulin effect on MAP kinase and PP-1 activation was blocked by a GTP antagonist, guanyl-5'-yl thiophosphate.
118 7822300 The inhibitors of MAP kinase activation (viz. cAMP agonists, SpcAMP and ML-9) also blocked PP-1 stimulation by insulin.
119 7822300 The time course of MAP kinase activation preceded the phosphorylation of PP-1 regulatory subunit and PP-1 activation.
120 7822300 We conclude that insulin rapidly activates a membrane-associated PP-1 in adipocytes, which may be similar to rabbit skeletal muscle PP-1G, and the activation is mediated by p21Ras/MAP kinase pathway.

126 7961833 In contrast, full insulin stimulation of PI 3'-kinase requires both the insulin receptor and IRS-1, suggesting that a high level of IRS-1 phosphorylation is required for insulin-stimulated PI 3'-kinase activation, whereas a low level of IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation transmits an essential signal to p70S6k.

135 7997269 Role of SAPK/ERK kinase-1 in the stress-activated pathway regulating transcription factor c-Jun.
136 7997269 The stress-activated protein kinases (SAPKs), which are distantly related to the MAP kinases, are the dominant c-Jun amino-terminal protein kinases activated in response to a variety of cellular stresses, including treatment with tumour-necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-beta (refs 1, 2).
137 7997269 SAPK phosphorylation of c-Jun probably activates the c-Jun transactivation function.
138 7997269 SAPKs are part of a signal transduction cascade related to, but distinct from, the MAPK pathway.
139 7997269 We have now identified a novel protein kinase, called SAPK/ERK kinase-1 (SEK1), which is structurally related to the MAP kinase kinases (MEKs).
140 7997269 SEK1 is a potent activator of the SAPKs in vitro and in vivo.
141 7997269 An inactive SEK1 mutant blocks SAPK activation by extracellular stimuli without interfering with the MAPK pathway.
142 7997269 Although alternative mechanisms of SAPK activation may exist, as an immediate upstream activator of the SAPKs, SEK1 further defines a signalling cascade that couples cellular stress agonists to the c-Jun transcription factor.

144 8058065 The role of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity in stimulation of intracellular enzymes linked to insulin action [phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PtdIns 3-kinase), microtubule-associated protein (MAP) kinase, and S6 kinases] was studied in Chinese hamster ovary cells which overexpress wild type human insulin receptors, receptors with reduced kinase activity due to substitution of Phe for Tyr1146 (single-Phe), Tyr1150,1151 (double-Phe), and Tyr1146,1150,1151 (triple-Phe), or kinase-inactive receptors with a substitution of Ala for Lys1018 in the ATP binding site (A1018).
145 8058065 Overexpression of the wild type insulin receptor increased both maximal insulin receptor substrate-1-associated and total insulin-stimulated PtdIns 3-kinase activity, as well as S6 and MAP kinase activities 2.0- to 3.6-fold.
146 8058065 Expression of the single- and double-Phe mutant receptors also enhanced maximal PtdIns 3-kinase activity, but had no effect on insulin sensitivity, whereas expression of either the triple-Phe or kinase-inactive receptors did not enhance insulin stimulation or increase insulin sensitivity as compared to the control cells.
147 8058065 When comparing the mutant and wild type receptors, differences in insulin sensitivity were least for insulin-stimulated MAP kinase and greatest for S6 kinase; with the latter there was greater than a 1000-fold difference in insulin sensitivity when cells that overexpress wild type vs. kinase-inactive insulin receptors were compared.

198 8393870 In CHO-Y960F cells, tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase in the anti-phosphotyrosine and anti-IRS-1 immunoprecipitates, the activation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, and biological actions were also impaired.
199 8393870 In addition, although the deletion of residues 954-965 severely impaired insulin internalization, the deletion of NPXY (957-960), the internalization signal of the low density lipoprotein receptor, did not affect internalization.
200 8393870 These data suggest that: 1) Tyr960 is important for the recognition of pp185/IRS-1, the association of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase with pp185/IRS-1, and the activation of MAP kinase; 2) MAP kinase may lie downstream of pp185/IRS-1 in insulin's signal transduction; and 3) the juxtamembrane domain, but not NPXY or individual tyrosines, is important for insulin internalization.

210 8573738 Abnormalities in protein kinase C and MAP kinase cascade in mesangial cells cultured under high glucose conditions.
211 8573738 In order to clarify the mechanism of mesangial cell dysfunction in diabetes, we examined the activities of protein kinase C (PKC) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), important kinases in various cellular functions, and also evaluated the isoenzymes of PKC in mesangial cells cultured under high glucose conditions.
212 8573738 These results indicate that the translocation of PKC alpha and zeta and the activation of MAPK under high glucose conditions might be underlying mechanisms of the functional disturbance of mesangial cells in diabetes.

254 8803477 To further delineate the TNF-alpha signal transduction pathway mediating glucose metabolism, we utilized L6 rat myoblasts which contain the receptors for the insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and TNF-alpha, and the ability of both ligands to stimulate glucose uptake was compared.
255 8803477 IGF-I (6.5 nM) maximally stimulated glucose uptake 7-fold after 24 h incubation, while 23 nM TNF-alpha maximally stimulated glucose uptake 3-fold only after 48 h incubation.
256 8803477 IGF-I receptor beta-subunit, insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase were all phosphorylated in response to 6.5 nM IGF-I after 10 min incubation.

318 9003010 Roles of insulin receptor substrate-1 and Shc on insulin-like growth factor I receptor signaling in early passages of cultured human fibroblasts.
319 9003010 Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) improves glucose metabolism and growth in patients with leprechaunism.
320 9003010 We investigated signal transduction through IGF-I receptor in comparison with epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor in early passages of cultured skin fibroblasts from a normal subject and a patient with leprechaunism whose insulin receptor tyrosine kinase was almost nonexistent.
321 9003010 Insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) became tyrosine-phosphorylated and bound growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2) quickly by IGF-I.
322 9003010 The association of Shc with GRB2 by IGF-I was detected by immunoblot with anti-Shc antibody but was hardly visible with antiphosphotyrosine antibody, which was in marked contrast to efficient tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc by EGF.
323 9003010 However, the potency of IGF-I for DNA synthesis was far stronger than EGF, which was not parallel with the potency of these growth factors to activate Shc or MAP kinase.
324 9003010 Rather, phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase activity, which was activated by IGF-I about 5- to 10-fold more strongly than EGF, appeared to correlate with mitogenesis.
325 9003010 Signal transduction pathways following IGF-I receptor or EGF receptor activation were indistinguishable between the normal subject and the patient.
326 9003010 Our results strongly suggest that in human skin fibroblasts, which represent a more physiological cell culture: 1) IRS-1, rather than Shc, is the major tyrosine-phosphorylated protein binding GRB2 in initial phase of IGF-I signaling; 2) mitogenic potency of receptor tyrosine kinases such as IGF-I receptor and EGF receptor may not be determined solely by the amount of Shc-GRB2 complex or the activity of MAP kinase; and 3) in contrast to previous reports, IGF-I and EGF receptor signalings are not defective in leprechaunism.

472 9175762 The proto-oncogene Crk-II enhances apoptosis by a Ras-dependent, Raf-1/MAP kinase-independent pathway.
473 9175762 The results presented here suggest that overexpression of Crk-II induces apoptosis via a Ras-dependent, Raf-1/MEK1/ERK-independent pathway.

476 9435680 Bradykinin induces tubulin phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of MAP kinase in mesangial cells.
477 9518262 Overexpression of membrane glycoprotein PC-1 can influence insulin action at a post-receptor site.
478 9518262 An elevated content of membrane glycoprotein PC-1 has been observed in cells and tissues of insulin resistant patients.
479 9518262 In addition, in vitro overexpression of PC-1 in cultured cells induces insulin resistance associated with diminished insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity.
480 9518262 We now find that PC-1 overexpression also influences insulin receptor signaling at a step downstream of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, independent of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase.
481 9518262 In the present studies, we employed Chinese hamster ovary cells that overexpress the human insulin receptor (CHO IR cells; approximately 10(6) receptors per cell), and transfected them with human PC-1 c-DNA (CHO IR PC-1).
482 9518262 In CHO IR PC-1 cells, insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity was unchanged, following insulin treatment of cells.
483 9518262 In CHO IR PC-1 cells, insulin stimulation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activity was normal, suggesting that PC-1 overexpression did not affect insulin receptor activation of Ras, which is upstream of MAP kinase.
484 9518262 Also, insulin-stimulated phosphatidylinositol (PI)-3-kinase activity was normal, suggesting that PC-1 overexpression did not interfere with the activation of this enzyme by insulin receptor substrate-1.
485 9518262 In these cells, however, insulin stimulation of p70 ribosomal S6 kinase activity was diminished.
486 9518262 These studies suggest, therefore, that, in addition to blocking insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activation, PC-1 can also block insulin receptor signaling at a post-receptor site.

509 9609113 Protein phosphatase-1 and insulin action.
510 9609113 Protein Phosphatase-1 (PP-1) appears to be the key component of the insulin signalling pathway which is responsible for bridging the initial insulin-simulated phosphorylation cascade with the ultimate dephosphorylation of insulin sensitive substrates.
511 9609113 Dephosphorylations catalyzed by PP-1 activate glycogen synthase (GS) and simultaneously inactivate phosphorylase a and phosphorylase kinase promoting glycogen synthesis.
512 9609113 Our in vivo studies using L6 rat skeletal muscle cells and freshly isolated adipocytes indicate that insulin stimulates PP-1 by increasing the phosphorylation status of its regulatory subunit (PP-1G).
513 9609113 PP-1 activation is accompanied by an inactivation of Protein Phosphatase-2A (PP-2A) activity.
514 9609113 To gain insight into the upstream kinases that mediate insulin-stimulated PP-1G phosphorylation, we employed inhibitors of the ras/MAPK, PI3-kinase, and PKC signalling pathways.
515 9609113 These inhibitor studies suggest that PP-1G phosphorylation is mediated via a complex, cell type specific mechanism involving PI3-kinase/PKC/PKB and/or the ras/MAP kinase/Rsk kinase cascade. cAMP agonists such as SpcAMP (via PKA) and TNF-alpha (recently identified as endogenous inhibitor of insulin action via ceramide) block insulin-stimulated PP-1G phosphorylation with a parallel decrease of PP-1 activity, presumably due to the dissociation of the PP-1 catalytic subunit from the regulatory G-subunit.
516 9609113 It appears that any agent or condition which interferes with the insulin-induced phosphorylation and activation of PP-1, will decrease the magnitude of insulin's effect on downstream metabolic processes.
517 9609113 Therefore, regulation of the PP-1G subunit by site-specific phosphorylation plays an important role in insulin signal transduction in target cells.
518 9609113 Mechanistic and functional studies with cell lines expressing PP-1G subunit site-specific mutations will help clarify the exact role and regulation of PP-1G site-specific phosphorylations on PP-1 catalytic function.
519 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.
520 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.
521 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.

569 9753291 Little is known about the regulation of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase signaling cascades by hormonal stimulation in vivo.
570 9753291 The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and the c-jun kinase (JNK) are two MAP kinase signaling pathways that could play a role in the cellular response to hormones such as insulin and epinephrine.
571 9753291 We studied the effects of insulin (20 U/rat) and epinephrine (25 microg/100 g body wt) injected in vivo on ERK and JNK signaling in skeletal muscle from Sprague-Dawley rats.
572 9753291 Insulin significantly increased ERK phosphorylation and the activity of its downstream substrate, the p90 ribosomal S6 kinase 2 (RSK2), by 1.4-fold, but it had no effect on JNK activity.
573 9753291 In contrast, epinephrine had no effect on ERK phosphorylation or RSK2 activity, but it increased JNK activity by twofold, an effect that was inhibited by the presence of combined alpha and beta blockade.
574 9753291 The activity and phosphorylation of MAP kinase kinase (MKK)-4, an upstream regulator of JNK, was unchanged by epinephrine.

597 9803467 TDs act at various levels of glucose and lipid metabolism--ameliorate some defects in the signalling cascade distal to the insulin receptor and improve glucose uptake in insulin-resistant tissues via increased expression of glucose transporters GLUT1 and GLUT4.
598 9803467 TDs bind to peroxisome proliferator activating receptors gamma (PPAR gamma), members of the steroid/thyroid hormone nuclear receptor superfamily of transcription factors involved in adipocyte differentiation and glucose and lipid homeostasis.
599 9803467 Activation of PPAR gamma results in the expression of adipocyte-specific genes and differentiation of various cell types in mature adipocytes capable of active glucose uptake and energy storage in the form of lipids.
600 9803467 These effects are most likely also mediated by stimulation of PPAR gamma.
601 9803467 In mature adipocytes, PPAR gamma stimulation inhibits stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) enzyme activity resulting in a change of cell membrane fatty acid composition.
602 9803467 A key role of TDs effects in vascular remodelling is played by inhibition of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway.

610 9803467 A recently reported link between MAP kinase signalling pathway and PPAR gamma
611 9814671 Since it has been reported that such factors involved in coagulation/fibrinolysis as tissue factor, tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), thrombin receptor and urokinase receptor are also localized in the caveolae, this membrane structure may act as a special component to regulate coagulation/fibrinolysis on the endothelial membrane surface.
612 9814671 Next we demonstrate the signaling pathway of the thrombin receptor.
613 9814671 We have identified that the signal from the thrombin receptor activates NF-kappaB through the activation of protein C kinase, tyrosine kinase and MAP kinase, and results in proliferation of the cells.
614 9833175 Accordingly, obesity can be associated with an increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system, elevated plasma levels of the vasoconstrictor endothelin-1, and decreased insulin-induced endothelium-dependent vasodilation.
615 9833175 The results show that insulin can affect the expression rate of various genes, e.g. involved in cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism, by modulating the activity of transcription factors coupled to the MAP kinase cascade and that a genetic postreceptor defect in these intracellular signaling pathways might have a pleiotropic effect on cell metabolism and clinical phenotype.
616 9845075 PPAR-gamma (for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor) is a nuclear hormone receptor that mediates adipocyte differentiation and modulates insulin sensitivity, cell proliferation and inflammatory processes.
617 9845075 Modification of the A/B domain, for example by physiological phosphorylation by MAP kinase, reduces ligand-binding affinity, thus negatively regulating the transcriptional and biological functions of PPAR-gamma.
618 9846883 AGE-binding receptors are: scavenger receptors types I and II, the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE), oligosaccharyl transferase-48 (OST-48, AGE-R1), 80K-H phosphoprotein (AGE-R2) and galectin-3 (AGE-R3).
619 9846883 Scavenger receptors have only been shown to bind proteins modified by AGE to a much higher extent than found in vivo. 80K-H phosphoprotein is involved in FGFR3 signal transduction to MAP kinase, and may be involved in AGE-receptor signal transduction.
620 9932214 The binding of insulin to its receptor induces autophosphorylation of the receptor on tyrosine residues and thereby stimulates its tyrosine kinase activity towards intracellular substrates such as Shc or IRS1.
621 9932214 Tyrosine phosphorylation of IRSs and Shc by the insulin receptor permits the activation of two major signalling pathways, the MAP kinase pathway and the Pl 3-kinase pathway.
622 9932214 The MAP kinase pathway does not appear to play a significant role in the transmission of the metabolic effects of insulin.

626 10078574 Hyperglycemia inhibits insulin activation of Akt/protein kinase B but not phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase in rat skeletal muscle.
627 10078574 Studies of insulin signaling in the latter muscles revealed that activation of Akt/protein kinase B (PKB) was diminished by 60%, compared with that of muscles preincubated in a glucose-free medium; whereas activation of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase, an upstream regulator of Akt/PKB in the insulin-signaling cascade, and of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, a parallel signal, was unaffected.
628 10078574 They suggest that impairment of insulin action in these muscles is related to inhibition of Akt/PKB by events that do not affect PI 3-kinase.
629 10194520 Leptin signalling in pancreatic islets and clonal insulin-secreting cells.
630 10194520 In addition to its anorectic and thermogenic central actions, leptin is known to act on peripheral tissues, including the pancreatic beta-cell where it inhibits insulin secretion and reduces insulin transcript levels.
631 10194520 In the present study, we show that leptin activates a signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)3 signalling mechanism in pancreatic islets and in a rat model of the pancreatic beta-cell, RINm5F.
632 10194520 Leptin induced DNA binding to a STAT consensus oligonucleotide and resulted in transcriptional activation from STAT reporter constructs in a manner consistent with STAT3 activation.
633 10194520 Conditions that mimic increased metabolic activity resulted in attenuation of leptin-mediated STAT DNA binding but had no significant effect on STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation in RINm5F cells.
634 10194520 In addition, leptin activated the mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway in RINm5F cells.
635 10318852 Membrane-targeted phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase mimics insulin actions and induces a state of cellular insulin resistance.
636 10318852 Even at this submaximal PI 3-kinase activity, p110(CAAX) fully stimulated p70 S6 kinase, Akt, 2-deoxyglucose uptake, and Ras, whereas, p110(WT) had little or no effect on these downstream effects.
637 10318852 Interestingly p110(CAAX) did not activate MAP kinase, despite its stimulation of p21(ras).
638 10318852 Surprisingly, p110(CAAX) did not increase basal glycogen synthase activity, and inhibited insulin stimulated activity, indicative of cellular resistance to this action of insulin. p110(CAAX) also inhibited insulin stimulated, but not platelet-derived growth factor-stimulated mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation, demonstrating that the p110(CAAX) induced inhibition of mitogen-activated protein kinase and insulin signaling is specific, and not due to some toxic or nonspecific effect on the cells.
639 10318852 Moreover, p110(CAAX) stimulated IRS-1 Ser/Thr phosphorylation, and inhibited IRS-1 associated PI 3-kinase activity, without affecting insulin receptor tyrosine phosphorylation, suggesting that it may play an important role as a negative regulator for insulin signaling.
640 10320053 It has been known for some time that down-regulation and reduced kinase activity of the insulin receptor play a role in insulin resistance; however, it has recently emerged that defects in the intracellular responses to insulin are also very important.
641 10320053 We found that the insulin-stimulated activation of MAP kinase was defective in obese, insulin-resistant mice.
642 10320053 Similarly, we investigated insulin-stimulated PI3-kinase activation in the isolated soleus muscle of lean and obese mice, and found a marked reduction in the PI3-kinase activation of obese animals.
643 10320053 The magnitude of the effect was greater than the reduction in insulin receptor activation, suggesting that impairment of PI3-kinase activation is a very important element in the development of insulin resistance in obese mice.
644 10320053 In keeping with this, we found that the defect in PI3-kinase activation developed in young obese mice before the emergence of overt insulin resistance.
645 10320053 In adipocytes from young obese mice in which insulin resistance had not yet developed, we found that there were already marked defects in IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation.
646 10320053 Such a process could contribute to the defective IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation in insulin-resistant animals.
647 10320053 We found that brief exposure of 3T3-L1 adipocytes to platelet-derived growth factor led to IRS-1 serine/threonine phosphorylation through a PI3-kinase-dependent pathway, and that this prevented phosphorylation of the tyrosine residues of IRS-1.
648 10320053 Such a mechanism, induced by growth factors, TNF-alpha or some other agent, may play an important role in the development of insulin resistance in obese mice.
649 10329981 Differential regulation of MAP kinase, p70(S6K), and Akt by contraction and insulin in rat skeletal muscle.
650 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.
651 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.
652 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.
653 10329981 Insulin was considerably less effective than contraction in stimulating the MAP kinase pathway.
654 10329981 However, insulin, but not contraction, increased p70(S6K) and Akt activities in the muscle.
655 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.
656 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.

667 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.
668 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.

797 10751417 Overexpression of protein-tyrosine phosphatase-1B in adipocytes inhibits insulin-stimulated phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity without altering glucose transport or Akt/Protein kinase B activation.
798 10751417 Previous studies suggested that protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) antagonizes insulin action by catalyzing dephosphorylation of the insulin receptor (IR) and/or other key proteins in the insulin signaling pathway.
799 10751417 In adipose tissue and muscle of obese humans and rodents, PTP1B expression is increased, which led to the hypothesis that PTP1B plays a role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance.
800 10751417 Consistent with this, mice in which the PTP1B gene was disrupted exhibit increased insulin sensitivity.
801 10751417 To test whether increased expression of PTP1B in an insulin-sensitive cell type could contribute to insulin resistance, we overexpressed wild-type PTP1B in 3T3L1 adipocytes using adenovirus-mediated gene delivery.
802 10751417 Compared with control cells, cells expressing high levels of PTP1B showed a 50-60% decrease in maximally insulin-stimulated tyrosyl phosphorylation of IR and insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) activity associated with IRS-1 or with phosphotyrosine.
803 10751417 Phosphorylation of p42 and p44 MAP kinase (MAPK) was reduced approximately 32%.
804 10751417 Overexpression of PTP1B had no effect on basal, submaximally or maximally (100 nm) insulin-stimulated glucose transport or on the EC(50) for transport.
805 10751417 Our results suggest that: 1) insulin stimulation of glucose transport in adipocytes requires </=45% of maximal tyrosyl phosphorylation of IR or IRS-1 and <50% of maximal activation of PI3K, 2) a novel PI3K-independent pathway may play a role in insulin-induced glucose transport in adipocytes, and 3) overexpression of PTP1B alone in adipocytes does not impair glucose transport.

808 10847579 Beta3-adrenergic stimulation also activated mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase by 3.5-fold and caused a decrease in basal phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase activity detected in p110gamma- and Gbeta-subunit-immunoprecipitates in a time-dependent manner, whereas insulin stimulated p110alpha- and phosphotyrosine-associated PI 3-kinase activity.
809 10847579 Inhibition of MAP kinase or PI 3-kinase potentiated the beta3-adrenergic effect on UCP-1 expression, both alone and in the presence of insulin.
810 10847579 Thus, insulin inhibits beta3-adrenergic stimulation of UCP-1, and both MAP kinase and PI 3-kinase are negative regulatory elements in the beta3-adrenergic control of UCP-1 expression.

822 10868945 Insulin-stimulated (0.6-60 nmol/l) tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor beta-subunit, mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase phosphorylation, and glycogen synthase activity were not altered in type 2 diabetic subjects.
823 10868945 In contrast, insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and anti-phosphotyrosine-associated PI 3-kinase activity were reduced 40-55% in type 2 diabetic subjects at high insulin concentrations (2.4 and 60 nmol/l, respectively).
824 10868945 Aberrant protein expression cannot account for these insulin-signaling defects because expression of insulin receptor, IRS-1, IRS-2, MAP kinase, or glycogen synthase was similar between type 2 diabetic and control subjects.
825 10868945 In skeletal muscle from type 2 diabetic subjects, IRS-1 phosphorylation, PI 3-kinase activity, and glucose transport activity were impaired, whereas insulin receptor tyrosine phosphorylation, MAP kinase phosphorylation, and glycogen synthase activity were normal.

834 10871205 Mechanical stretch-induced fibronectin and transforming growth factor-beta1 production in human mesangial cells is p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase-dependent.
835 10871205 Hemodynamic abnormalities are important in the pathogenesis of the excess mesangial matrix deposition of diabetic and other glomerulopathies. p38-Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, an important intracellular signaling molecule, is activated in the glomeruli of diabetic rats.
836 10871205 We studied, in human mesangial cells, the effect of stretch on p38 MAP kinase activation and the role of p38 MAP kinase in stretch-induced fibronectin and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) accumulation. p38 MAP kinase was activated by stretch in a rapid (11-fold increase at 30 min, P < 0.001) and sustained manner (3-fold increase at 33 h, P < 0.001); this activation was mediated by protein kinase C (PKC).
837 10871205 Stretch-induced fibronectin and TGF-beta1 protein levels were completely abolished (100% inhibition, P < 0.001; and 92% inhibition, P < 0.01, respectively) by SB203580, a specific p38 MAP kinase inhibitor.
838 10871205 At 33 h, TGF-beta1 blockade did not affect stretch-induced fibronectin production, but partially prevented stretch-induced p38 MAP kinase activation (59% inhibition, P < 0.05).
839 10871205 TGF-beta1 induced fibronectin accumulation after 72 h of exposure via a p38 MAP kinase-dependent mechanism (30% increase over control, P < 0.01).
840 10871205 In human mesangial cells, stretch activates, via a PKC-dependent mechanism, p38 MAP kinase, which independently induces TGF-beta1 and fibronectin.
841 10871205 In turn, TGF-beta1 contributes to maintaining late p38 MAP kinase activation, which perpetuates fibronectin accumulation.
842 10909971 Activating transcription factor-2 is a positive regulator in CaM kinase IV-induced human insulin gene expression.
843 10909971 The activity of the transcription factor activating transcription factor-2 (ATF-2), which binds to the cAMP responsive elements of the human insulin gene, was enhanced by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV (CaMKIV).
844 10909971 CaMKIV-induced ATF-2 transcriptional activity was not altered by activation of cJun NH2-terminal protein kinase (JNK) or p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase.
845 10909971 Furthermore, when transfected into rat primary cultured islets, ATF-2 enhanced glucose-induced insulin promoter activity, whereas cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) repressed it.
846 10909971 These results suggest a mechanism in which ATF-2 regulates insulin gene expression in pancreatic beta-cells, with the transcriptional activity of ATF-2 being increased by an elevated concentration of calcium ions.

848 10965886 Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) is a 28-kDa plasma protein that binds to IGF-I and IGF-II with high affinity.
849 10965886 The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of the MAP kinase pathway in regulating IGFBP-1 synthesis by IL-1beta.

903 11006100 In the present study we have examined the proteins involved in the insulin signaling cascade during and after differentiation of human adipocyte precursor cells and their correlation with glucose uptake.
904 11006100 The differentiation of human adipocytes was characterized by a two- to threefold stimulation of glucose transport in response to insulin and a marked increase protein expression for the insulin receptor, IRS-1, GLUT-4, PI 3-kinase, and PKB, with respect to undifferentiated cells.
905 11006100 In contrast, there were small changes in the protein expression of IRS-2, and no changes in PKC zeta and MAP kinases, although basal MAP kinase activity and GLUT-1 protein were reduced during differentiation.
906 11006100 In conclusion, there are quantitative differences in the regulation of IRS-1 and other proteins during differentiation which may contribute to more efficient insulin signaling leading to glucose uptake in mature fat cells.
907 11018758 Decreased Akt kinase activity and insulin resistance in C57BL/KsJ-Leprdb/db mice.
908 11018758 Recent studies suggest that the serine/threonine kinase protein kinase B (PKB or Akt) is involved in the pathway for insulin-stimulated glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) translocation and glucose uptake.
909 11018758 In this study we examined the components of the Akt signaling pathway in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in vivo from C57BL/KsJ-Lepr(db/db) mice (db/db), a model of obesity, insulin resistance, and type II diabetes.
910 11018758 There were no changes in the protein levels of GLUT4, p85alpha, or Akt in tissues from db/db mice compared with non-diabetic littermate controls (+/+).
911 11018758 In response to acute insulin administration, GLUT4 recruitment to the plasma membrane increased twofold in muscle and adipose tissue from +/+ mice, but was significantly reduced by 42-43% (P<0.05) in both tissues from db/db mice.
912 11018758 Insulin increased Akt-Ser(473) phosphorylation by two- to fivefold in muscle and adipose tissue from all mice.
913 11018758 The level of insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of p85alpha from phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI 3)-kinase, which is upstream of Akt, was also reduced in muscle and adipose tissue from db/db mice (P<0.05); however, there was no change in extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1 or -2 phosphorylation.
914 11018758 These data implicate decreased insulin-stimulated Akt kinase activity as an important component underlying impaired GLUT4 translocation and insulin resistance in tissues from db/db mice.
915 11018758 However, impaired insulin signal transduction appears to be specific for the PI 3-kinase pathway of insulin signaling, while the MAP kinase pathway remained intact.
916 11043572 Tumor necrosis factor alpha-mediated insulin resistance, but not dedifferentiation, is abrogated by MEK1/2 inhibitors in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
917 11043572 Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) has been implicated as a contributing mediator of insulin resistance observed in pathophysiological conditions such as obesity, cancer-induced cachexia, and bacterial infections.
918 11043572 Previous studies have demonstrated that TNFalpha confers insulin resistance by promoting phosphorylation of serine residues on insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), thereby diminishing subsequent insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1.
919 11043572 However, little is known about which signaling molecules are involved in this process in adipocytes and about the temporal sequence of events that ultimately leads to TNFalpha-stimulated IRS-1 serine phosphorylation.
920 11043572 In this study, we demonstrate that specific inhibitors of the MAP kinase kinase (MEK)1/2-p42/44 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway restore insulin signaling to normal levels despite the presence of TNFalpha.
921 11043572 Additional experiments show that MEK1/2 activity is required for TNFalpha-induced IRS-1 serine phosphorylation, thereby suggesting a mechanism by which these inhibitors restore insulin signaling.
922 11043572 We observe that TNFalpha requires 2.5-4 h to markedly reduce insulin-triggered tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
923 11043572 Although TNFalpha activates p42/44 MAP kinase, maximal stimulation is observed within 10-30 min.
924 11043572 To our surprise, p42/44 activity returns to basal levels well before IRS-1 serine phosphorylation and insulin resistance are observed.
925 11043572 These activation kinetics suggest a mechanism of p42/44 action more complicated than a direct phosphorylation of IRS-1 triggered by the early spike of TNFalpha-induced p42/44 activity.
926 11043572 Chronic TNFalpha treatment (>> 72 h) causes adipocyte dedifferentiation, as evidenced by the loss of triglycerides and down-regulation of adipocyte-specific markers.
927 11043572 We observe that this longer term TNFalpha-mediated dedifferentiation effect utilizes alternative, p42/44 MAP kinase-independent intracellular pathways.

954 11043572 This study suggests that TNFalpha-mediated insulin resistance, but not adipocyte dedifferentiation, is mediated by the MEK1/2-p42/44 MAP kinase pathway.
955 11043572 Tumor necrosis factor alpha-mediated insulin resistance, but not dedifferentiation, is abrogated by MEK1/2 inhibitors in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
956 11043572 Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) has been implicated as a contributing mediator of insulin resistance observed in pathophysiological conditions such as obesity, cancer-induced cachexia, and bacterial infections.
957 11043572 Previous studies have demonstrated that TNFalpha confers insulin resistance by promoting phosphorylation of serine residues on insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), thereby diminishing subsequent insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1.
958 11043572 However, little is known about which signaling molecules are involved in this process in adipocytes and about the temporal sequence of events that ultimately leads to TNFalpha-stimulated IRS-1 serine phosphorylation.
959 11043572 In this study, we demonstrate that specific inhibitors of the MAP kinase kinase (MEK)1/2-p42/44 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway restore insulin signaling to normal levels despite the presence of TNFalpha.
960 11043572 Additional experiments show that MEK1/2 activity is required for TNFalpha-induced IRS-1 serine phosphorylation, thereby suggesting a mechanism by which these inhibitors restore insulin signaling.
961 11043572 We observe that TNFalpha requires 2.5-4 h to markedly reduce insulin-triggered tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
962 11043572 Although TNFalpha activates p42/44 MAP kinase, maximal stimulation is observed within 10-30 min.
963 11043572 To our surprise, p42/44 activity returns to basal levels well before IRS-1 serine phosphorylation and insulin resistance are observed.
964 11043572 These activation kinetics suggest a mechanism of p42/44 action more complicated than a direct phosphorylation of IRS-1 triggered by the early spike of TNFalpha-induced p42/44 activity.
965 11043572 Chronic TNFalpha treatment (>> 72 h) causes adipocyte dedifferentiation, as evidenced by the loss of triglycerides and down-regulation of adipocyte-specific markers.
966 11043572 We observe that this longer term TNFalpha-mediated dedifferentiation effect utilizes alternative, p42/44 MAP kinase-independent intracellular pathways.
967 11043572 This study suggests that TNFalpha-mediated insulin resistance, but not adipocyte dedifferentiation, is mediated by the MEK1/2-p42/44 MAP kinase pathway.
968 11125222 Insulin-induced swelling is essential for generating the antiproteolytic response to the hormone, which depends on activation of the MAP-kinase p38.
969 11125222 Cell swelling by insulin is Ptdins-3-kinase mediated and contributes to the activation of Erk- and p38-type MAP-kinases.
970 11125222 In liver, hyperosmolarity impairs the Ptdins-3-kinase-dependent K(+) uptake and cell swelling in response to insulin, leading to resistance of MAP-kinases and proteolysis to regulation by insulin.
971 11125222 Likewise, a reduction of insulin-induced swelling by the loop diuretics furosemide and bumetanide cause insulin resistance shown by the levels of cell swelling, MAP-kinase activation and proteolysis control.

976 11237210 Ras activation of the Raf kinase: tyrosine kinase recruitment of the MAP kinase cascade.
977 11237210 Nevertheless, based on the hypothesis that insulin-stimulated Ser/Thr phosphorylation reflected the activation of protein (Ser/Thr) kinases downstream of the insulin receptor, we sought to detect and purify these putative, insulin-responsive protein (Ser/Thr) kinases.
978 11237210 The first of these insulin-activated protein kinase networks to be fully elucidated was the Ras-Raf-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade.
979 11237210 This chapter will summarize briefly the way in which work from this and other laboratories on insulin signaling led to the discovery of the mammalian MAP kinase cascade and, in turn, to the identification of unique role of the Raf kinases in RTK activation of this protein (Ser/Thr) kinase cascade.

984 11375351 Inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC) and p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase also reduced the hypoxia-induced stimulation of proliferation and OPN synthesis.
985 11375351 In conclusion, hypoxia-induced proliferation of cultured VSM cells is mediated by the stimulation of OPN synthesis involving PKC and p38 MAP kinase.
986 11423472 Transcriptional regulation of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 gene by insulin: insights into the signaling pathway.
987 11423472 Impairment of the fibrinolytic system, caused primarily by increases in the plasma levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) type 1, are frequently found in diabetes and the insulin-resistance syndrome.
988 11423472 Among the factors responsible for the increases of PAI-1, insulin has recently attracted attention.
989 11423472 In this study, we analyzed the effects of insulin on PAI-1 biosynthesis in HepG2 cells, paying particular attention to the signaling network evoked by this hormone.
990 11423472 Experiments performed in CHO cells overexpressing the insulin receptor indicate that insulin increases PAI-1 gene transcription through interaction with its receptor.
991 11423472 By using inhibitors of the different signaling pathways evoked by insulin-receptor binding, it has been shown that the biosynthesis of PAI-1 is due to phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase activation, followed by protein kinase C and ultimately by mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 phosphorylation.
992 11423472 Transfection of HepG2 cells with several truncations of the PAI-1 promoter coupled to a CAT gene allowed us to recognize two major response elements located in the regions between -804 and -708 and between -211 and -54.
993 11423472 Electrophoretic mobility shift assay identified three binding sites for insulin-induced factors, all colocalized with putative Sp1 binding sites.
994 11423472 Using supershifting antibodies, the binding of Sp1 could only be confirmed at the binding site located just upstream from the transcription start site of the PAI-1 promoter.
995 11423472 A construct comprising four tandem repeat copies of the -93/-62 region of the PAI-1 promoter linked to CAT was transcriptionally activated in HepG2 cells by insulin.
996 11423472 These results outline the central role of MAP kinase activation in the regulation of PAI-1 induced by insulin.
997 11423472 Transcriptional regulation of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 gene by insulin: insights into the signaling pathway.

1008 11423478 We demonstrated that when embryonic day 13.5 rat pancreatic epithelium is cultured in the presence of PD98059, an inhibitor of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, epithelial cell proliferation is decreased, whereas endocrine cell differentiation is activated.
1009 11423478 On the other hand, in the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF), an activator of the MAP kinase pathway, the mass of tissue that develops is increased, whereas the absolute number of endocrine cells that develops is decreased.
1010 11423478 In a second step, when EGF is removed from the pool of immature pancreatic epithelial cells, the cells differentiate en masse into insulin-expressing cells.
1011 11423478 We demonstrated that when embryonic day 13.5 rat pancreatic epithelium is cultured in the presence of PD98059, an inhibitor of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, epithelial cell proliferation is decreased, whereas endocrine cell differentiation is activated.

1014 11440359 Activation of DAG-sensitive PKC isoforms, such as PKC-theta and PKC-epsilon, down-regulates insulin receptor signalling and could be an important biochemical mechanism linking dysregulated lipid metabolism and insulin resistance in muscle.
1015 11440359 On the other hand, atypical PKC isozymes, such as PKC-zeta and PKC-lambda, have been identified as downstream targets of PI-3-kinase involved in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, especially in adipocytes.
1016 11440359 Glucose-induced de novo synthesis of (palmitate-rich) DAG and sustained isozyme-selective PKC activation (especially but not exclusively PKC-beta) has been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic microangiopathy and macroangiopathy through a host of undesirable effects on endothelial function, VSM contractility and growth, angiogenesis, gene transcription (in part by MAP-kinase activation) and vascular permeability.
1017 11466584 Beside their regulation by different metabolites, these transcription factors are also targets of hormones, like insulin and leptin, growth factors, and inflammatory signals.
1018 11466584 Major signalling pathways coupling receptors at the cell surface for hormones, growth factors as well as cytokines to gene regulatory events in the nucleus are the MAP-kinase cascades.
1019 11472733 Glucosamine enhances platelet-derived growth factor-induced DNA synthesis via phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway in rat aortic smooth muscle cells.
1020 11472733 Culture of vascular smooth muscle A10 cells with high glucose for 4 weeks enhanced platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced BrdU incorporation.
1021 11472733 Of the subsequent intracellular signaling pathways, PDGF-induced PDGF beta-receptor association with PLC gamma was not affected, whereas tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc, subsequent association of Shc with Grb2, and MAP kinase activation were relatively decreased.
1022 11472733 In contrast, PDGF-induced PDGF beta-receptor association with the p85 regulatory subunit of PI3-kinase and PI3-kinase activation were increased by 20% (P<0.01) and 36% (P<0.01), respectively.
1023 11472733 Pretreatment with PLC inhibitor (U73122) had negligible effects, and MEK1 inhibitor (PD98059) showed only a slight inhibitory effect on the PDGF-induced BrdU incorporation.
1024 11472733 In contrast, pretreatment with PI3-kinase inhibitor (LY294002) significantly inhibited glucosamine enhancement of PDGF-induced BrdU incorporation.
1025 11472733 These findings suggest that glucosamine is involved in the development of atherosclerosis by enhancing PDGF-induced mitogenesis specifically via the PI3-kinase pathway.
1026 11561209 Herein, a focal point is the mitochondrial control of specific death enzymes--so called caspases--by members of the pro-apoptotic Bax and BH3 subfamily or the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 subfamily.
1027 11561209 The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are potent proliferation factors and potently inhibit apoptosis acting via the ubiquitously expressed IGF-I receptor.
1028 11561209 Within IGF-I receptor signalling, key to the inhibition of apoptosis are the RAS/RAF/mitogen-activated protein (MAP)-kinase pathway and the PI 3'-kinase pathway.
1029 11574421 To determine whether enzymatic p53 glycosylation leads to angiotensin II formation followed by p53 phosphorylation, prolonged activation of the renin-angiotensin system, and apoptosis, ventricular myocytes were exposed to levels of glucose mimicking diabetic hyperglycemia.
1030 11574421 Angiotensin II synthesis increased at 45 min and 1 h, resulting in p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase-driven p53 phosphorylation at Ser 390. p53 phosphorylation was absent at the early time points, becoming evident at 1 h, and increasing progressively from 3 h to 4 days.
1031 11574421 Phosphorylated p53 at Ser 18 and activated c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinases were identified with hyperglycemia, whereas extracellular signal-regulated kinase was not phosphorylated.
1032 11574421 Upregulation of p53 was associated with an accumulation of angiotensinogen and AT(1) and enhanced production of angiotensin II.
1033 11574421 Inhibition of O-glycosylation prevented the initial synthesis of angiotensin II, p53, and p38-MAP kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation and apoptosis.
1034 11574421 AT(1) blockade had no influence on O-glycosylation of p53, but it interfered with p53 phosphorylation; losartan also prevented phosphorylation of p38-MAPK by angiotensin II.
1035 11574421 In conclusion, these in vitro results support the notion that hyperglycemia with diabetes promotes myocyte apoptosis mediated by activation of p53 and effector responses involving the local renin-angiotensin system.
1036 11576932 In mesangial and endothelial cells, the AGE-RAGE interaction caused enhanced formation of oxygen radicals with subsequent activation of nuclear factor-kappaB and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha), growth factors (transforming growth factor-beta1 [TGF-beta1], insulin-like growth factor-1), and adhesion molecules (vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, intercellular adhesion molecule-1).
1037 11576932 In tubular cells, incubation with AGE albumin was followed by stimulation of the mitogen-activating protein (MAP) kinase pathway and its downstream target, the activating protien-1 (AP-1) complex, TGF-beta1 overexpression, enhanced protein kinase C activity, decreased cell proliferation, and impaired protein degradation rate, in part caused by decreased cathepsin activities.
1038 11576932 The pathogenic relevance of AGEs was further verified by in vivo experiments in euglycemic rats and mice by the parenteral administration of AGE albumin, leading in the glomeruli to TGF-beta1 overproduction, enhanced gene expression of ECM proteins, and morphological lesions similar to those of DN.
1039 11689013 Tumor necrosis factor alpha is a negative regulator of resistin gene expression and secretion in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
1040 11689013 Resistin has recently been implicated as an adipocytokine leading to insulin resistance and, therefore, potentially linking obesity and diabetes.
1041 11689013 To further characterize the regulation of this fat-secreted protein by insulin sensitivity-modulating hormones, 3T3-L1 adipocytes were treated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha, angiotensin (AT) 2, as well as growth hormone (GH), and resistin gene expression and protein secretion were determined by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting.
1042 11689013 Interestingly, both, resistin mRNA expression and protein secretion, were inhibited by 70-90% after TNFalpha-treatment whereas AT2 and GH did not have any effect.
1043 11689013 Pharmacological inhibition of protein kinase A (PKA), p44/42, and p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase did not reverse the inhibitory effect of TNFalpha suggesting that neither of these signaling molecules is involved in suppression of resistin gene expression by TNFalpha.
1044 11689013 Furthermore, suppression of resistin mRNA levels could be completely reversed to control levels by withdrawal of TNFalpha for 24 h.
1045 11689013 Taken together, these results suggest that TNFalpha is a pivotal negative regulator of resistin gene expression.
1046 11700025 RAGE expression and AGE-induced MAP kinase activation in Caco-2 cells.
1047 11700025 Since RAGE ligation triggers the p21(ras) signal transduction pathway the activation state of p44/42 (ERK1/2) MAP kinases was determined.
1048 11700025 Here we demonstrate for the first time that Caco-2 cells express RAGE and that administration of the food-derived casein-linked AGE N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl)lysine (Cas-CML) results in Caco-2 p44/42 (ERK1/2) MAP kinase activation.
1049 11700025 RAGE expression and AGE-induced MAP kinase activation in Caco-2 cells.
1050 11700025 Since RAGE ligation triggers the p21(ras) signal transduction pathway the activation state of p44/42 (ERK1/2) MAP kinases was determined.
1051 11700025 Here we demonstrate for the first time that Caco-2 cells express RAGE and that administration of the food-derived casein-linked AGE N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl)lysine (Cas-CML) results in Caco-2 p44/42 (ERK1/2) MAP kinase activation.
1052 11707433 Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase enhances mitogenic actions of insulin in endothelial cells.
1053 11707433 To explore this hypothesis in endothelial cells, we designed a set of experiments to mimic the "typical metabolic insulin resistance" by blocking the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway and exposing the cells to increasing concentrations of insulin ("compensatory hyperinsulinemia").
1054 11707433 Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase with wortmannin blocked the ability of insulin to stimulate increased expression of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase, did not affect insulin-induced activation of MAP kinase, and increased the effects of insulin on prenylation of Ras and Rho proteins.
1055 11711055 Hypertension often complicates type 2 diabetes mellitus, and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor treatment has been shown to improve insulin resistance in such cases.
1056 11711055 However, the effect of angiotensin II type-1 (AT(1)) receptor antagonists on insulin resistance is still controversial.
1057 11711055 Although Akt activity and glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) expressions were not affected by losartan with or without exercise, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) and p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activities were increased by both interventions.
1058 11711055 These results indicate that angiotensin AT(1) receptor antagonist improved local insulin resistance, but not systemic insulin resistance.
1059 11711055 These findings may explain the controversy over the effect of angiotensin AT(1) receptor antagonists on insulin resistance in clinical use.
1060 11711055 The enhancing effect of angiotensin AT(1) receptor antagonist on skeletal muscle glucose uptake may be attributable to MAP kinase activation or other mechanisms rather than phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activation.
1061 11711055 Hypertension often complicates type 2 diabetes mellitus, and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor treatment has been shown to improve insulin resistance in such cases.

1067 11719827 These haemodynamic pathways, independently and with metabolic pathways, activate intracellular second messengers such as protein kinase C and MAP kinase, nuclear transcription factors such as NF-kappaB and various growth factors such as the prosclerotic cytokine, TGF-beta and the angiogenic, permeability enhancing growth factor, VEGF.
1068 11719827 More novel strategies to influence vasoactive hormone action or to inhibit various metabolic pathways such as inhibitors of advanced glycation, specific protein kinase C isoforms and aldose reductase are at present under experimental and clinical investigation.
1069 11826398 Insulin signaling in the transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of CYP2E1 expression.
1070 11826398 Diabetes has been reported to increase the expression of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2E1 messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein several-fold, and enhanced expression has been associated with elevated ketone bodies.
1071 11826398 Primary cultured rat hepatocytes were used to explore ketone body and insulin regulation of CYP2E1 expression.
1072 11826398 Insulin produced a concentration-dependent decrease in CYP2E1 mRNA levels, and insulin receptor immunoprecipitation showed a correspondence between receptor phosphorylation and the decrease in CYP2E1 mRNA levels at physiologic levels of insulin.
1073 11826398 The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) inhibitors wortmannin or LY294002 and rapamycin, an inhibitor of p70 S6 kinase phosphorylation, ameliorated the insulin-mediated decrease in CYP2E1 mRNA levels.
1074 11826398 Geldanamycin, which inhibits Src kinase, also abrogated the insulin-mediated decrease in CYP2E1 mRNA levels.
1075 11826398 In contrast, the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide, the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitor PD98059, and the p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase inhibitor SB202190 did not affect the insulin-mediated decrease in CYP2E1.
1076 11826398 CYP2E1 mRNA half-life decreased from approximately 48 hours in the absence of insulin to approximately 15 hours at 10 nmol/L insulin, and this decrease was prevented by wortmannin.
1077 11826398 The half-life of CYP2B mRNA was increased by insulin, whereas that of CYP3A was unaffected.
1078 11826398 Analysis of CYP2E1 gene transcription using heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA) showed that insulin suppressed CYP2E1 transcription.
1079 11826398 In conclusion, these data show involvement of transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms in the insulin-mediated regulation of CYP2E1 and implicate PI3-kinase, p70 S6 kinase, and Src kinase in mediating these effects.
1080 11911852 Exendin-4 increases insulin sensitivity via a PI-3-kinase-dependent mechanism: contrasting effects of GLP-1.
1081 11911852 The insulinotropic agent, exendin-4, is a long-acting analogue of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) which improves glucose tolerance in humans and animals with diabetes, but the underlying mechanisms and the effects of exendin-4 on peripheral (muscle/fat) insulin action are unclear.
1082 11911852 Thus, the comparative effects of exendin-4 and GLP-1 on insulin-stimulated 2-[3H]deoxyglucose (2-DOG) uptake were measured in fully differentiated L6 myotubes and 3T3-adipocytes, including co-incubation with inhibitors of the PI-3-kinase (wortmannin) and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase (PD098059) pathways.
1083 11911852 In L6 myotubes, there was a concentration-dependent and PI-3-kinase-dependent increase in insulin-stimulated 2-DOG uptake with exendin-4 and GLP-1, e.g. for exendin-4 the C(I-200) value (concentration of insulin required to increase 2-DOG uptake 2-fold) decreased from 1.3 +/- 1.4 x 10(-7)M (insulin alone, n=16) to 5.9 +/- 1.3 x 10(-8)M (insulin+exendin-4 0.1nM, n=18, P<0.03).
1084 11911852 A similar insulin-sensitizing effect was observed with exendin-4 in 3T3-adipocytes, but GLP-1 had no effect on adipocyte insulin sensitivity.
1085 11911852 Furthermore, the contrasting responses of exendin and GLP-1 in 3T3-adipocytes suggest that the peripheral insulin-sensitizing effect of exendin-4 (in contrast to the insulinotropic effect) does not involve the GLP-1 receptor pathway.
1086 11991199 Potentiation of mitogenic activity of platelet-derived growth factor by physiological concentrations of insulin via the MAP kinase cascade in rat A10 vascular smooth muscle cells.
1087 11991199 In this study, we attempted to determine whether insulin affects mitogenic signaling induced by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in a rat VSMC cell line (A10 cells).
1088 11991199 Initiation of DNA synthesis was preceded by activation of Raf-1, MEK and MAP kinases (Erk 1 and Erk2).
1089 11991199 Treatment of the cells with PD98059, an inhibitor of MAPK kinase (MEK) attenuated but did not abolish PDGF-stimulated DNA synthesis, suggesting that MAPK is required but not essential for DNA synthesis.
1090 11991199 PDGF also stimulated phosphorylation of protein kinase B (Akt/PKB) and p70 S6Kinase (p70S6K) in a wortmannin-sensitive manner.
1091 11991199 Low concentrations of insulin (1-10 nmol/l) alone showed little mitogenic activity and no significant effect on MAPK activity.
1092 11991199 However, the presence of insulin enhanced both DNA synthesis and MAPK activation by PDGF.
1093 11991199 Insulin was without effect on PDGF-stimulated activations of protein kinase B (Akt/PKB) and p70S6K.
1094 11991199 We conclude that insulin, at pathophysiologically relevant concentrations, potentiates the PDGF-stimulated DNA synthesis, at least in part, by potentiating activation of the MAPK cascade.
1095 12000720 Angiopoietin-1, when given intravitreally to newly diabetic rats, normalized retinal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 mRNA and protein levels, leading to reductions in leukocyte adhesion, endothelial cell injury, and blood-retinal barrier breakdown.

1126 12079831 Besides their regulation by metabolites and nutrients, these transcription factors are also targets of hormones (like insulin and leptin), growth factors, inflammatory signals, and drugs.

1230 12369712 Inhibition of MAP kinase by 20 microM PD 098059 did not influence insulin secretion modulated by either compound (glucose, GRP, OT or GIP). [3H]Thymidine incorporation, however, was severely inhibited by PD 098059.
1231 12369712 Thus MAP kinase is important for INS-1 cell proliferation but not for its insulin secretory response with respect to major initiators and modulators of insulin release.
1232 12369712 The data indicate that MAP kinase is active and under the control of MAP kinase.

1236 12369712 MAP kinase activity was determined by using a peptide derived from the EGF receptor as a MAP kinase substrate and [32P]ATP.
1237 12369712 Glucose as well as GRP, OT and GIP exhibited a time-dependent increase in MAP kinase activity with a maximum at time point 2.5 min.
1238 12369712 The flavone PD 098059 is known to bind to the inactive forms of MEK1 (MAPK/ERK-Kinase) thus preventing activation by upstream activators. 20 microM PD 098059 (IC50 = 5 microM) inhibited MAP kinase stimulated by either glucose, GRP, OT, GIP or PMA.

1257 12485893 Diabetes is known to activate MAP kinase p38 in sensory neurons in both rats and patients.
1258 12485893 Consequently we tested the hypothesis that inhibition of MAP kinase p38 might prevent neuronal dysfunction in rats with experimental diabetes, such as the classical defect of slowed nerve conduction.
1259 12485893 This implicates activation of MAP kinase p38 as an early step in the signal pathway to dysfunction in experimental diabetic neuropathy.

1268 12606502 Enhanced basal activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases in adipocytes from type 2 diabetes: potential role of p38 in the downregulation of GLUT4 expression.
1269 12606502 To test the potential for members of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase family to contribute to type 2 diabetes, we examined basal and insulin-stimulated Erk 1/2, JNK, and p38 phosphorylation in adipocytes isolated from healthy and type 2 diabetic individuals.
1270 12606502 Maximal insulin stimulation increased the phosphorylation of Erk 1/2 and JNK in healthy control subjects but not type 2 diabetic patients.
1271 12606502 Insulin stimulation did not increase p38 phosphorylation in either healthy control subjects or type 2 diabetic patients.
1272 12606502 In type 2 diabetic adipocytes, the basal phosphorylation status of these MAP kinases was significantly elevated and was associated with decreased IRS-1 and GLUT4 in these fat cells.
1273 12606502 To determine whether MAP kinases were involved in the downregulation of IRS-1 and GLUT4 protein levels, selective inhibitors were used to inhibit these MAP kinases in 3T3-L1 adipocytes treated chronically with insulin.
1274 12606502 Inhibition of Erk 1/2, JNK, or p38 had no effect on insulin-stimulated reduction of IRS-1 protein levels.
1275 12606502 However, inhibition of the p38 pathway prevented the insulin-stimulated decrease in GLUT4 protein levels.
1276 12606502 In summary, type 2 diabetes is associated with an increased basal activation of the MAP kinase family.
1277 12606502 Furthermore, upregulation of the p38 pathway might contribute to the loss of GLUT4 expression observed in adipose tissue from type 2 diabetic patients.
1278 12606502 Enhanced basal activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases in adipocytes from type 2 diabetes: potential role of p38 in the downregulation of GLUT4 expression.

1288 12621526 Incubation with D-glucose activated protein kinase C (PKC), endothelial NO synthase (eNOS), p42 and p44 mitogen-activated protein kinases (p42/44(mapk)), but inhibited superoxide dismutase (SOD).
1289 12621526 The effect of D-glucose was blocked by the PKC inhibitor calphostin C, the MAP kinase kinase 1/2 (MEK1/2) inhibitor PD-98059, the eNOS inhibitor L-NAME, the protein kinase G (PKG) inhibitor KT-5823 and the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor KT-5720.
1290 12621526 D-Glucose-dependent inhibition of thymidine incorporation and cell proliferation is associated with increased PKC, eNOS, and MEK1/2, but decreased SOD activity, and higher intracellular levels of cGMP, cAMP and Ca2+ in HUVECs.
1291 12777378 Dual specificity mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase phosphatase-4 plays a potential role in insulin resistance.
1292 12777378 Specifically, a reporter system comprised of the PEPCK promoter upstream of alkaline phosphatase was used in a hepatocyte cell-based assay to screen an expression cDNA library for genes that reverse insulin-induced repression of PEPCK transcription.
1293 12777378 Here we show that MKP-4 is expressed in insulin-responsive tissues and that the expression levels are up-regulated in obese insulin-resistant rodent models.
1294 12777378 Heterologous expression of MKP-4 in preadipocytes significantly blocked insulin-induced adipogenesis, and overexpression of MKP-4 in adipocytes inhibited insulin-stimulated glucose uptake.
1295 12777378 Our data suggest that MKP-4 negatively regulates insulin signaling and, consequently, may contribute to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance.
1296 12783777 High glucose-mediated effects on endothelial cell proliferation occur via p38 MAP kinase.
1297 12783777 The roles of p38 and p42/44 MAP kinases in the high glucose-induced growth effects were determined by assessment of phosphorylated MAP kinases and their downstream activators by Western blot and by pharmacological inhibition of these MAP kinases.
1298 12783777 High glucose increased the activity of total and phosphorylated p38 MAP kinase (P < 0.001) and p42/44 MAP kinase (P < 0.001).
1299 12783777 Coexposure of p38 MAP kinase blocker with high glucose reversed the antiproliferative but not the hypertrophic effects associated with high-glucose conditions.
1300 12783777 Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 increased the levels of phosphorylated p38 MAP kinase, and p38 MAP kinase blockade reversed the antiproliferative effects of this cytokine.
1301 12783777 The high glucose-induced increase in phosphorylated p38 MAP kinase was reversed in the presence of TGF-beta1 neutralizing antibody.
1302 12783777 Although hyperosmolarity also induced antiproliferation (P < 0.0001) and cell hypertrophy (P < 0.05), there was no change in p38 activity, and therefore inhibition of p38 MAP kinase had no influence on these growth responses.
1303 12783777 Blockade of p42/44 MAP kinase had no effect on the changes in endothelial cell growth induced by either high glucose or hyperosmolarity.
1304 12783777 High glucose increased p42/44 and p38 MAP kinase activity in human endothelial cells, but only p38 MAP kinase mediated the antiproliferative growth response through the effects of autocrine TGF-beta1.
1305 12951641 A number of intracellular responses are elicited by C-peptide, including a rise in Ca2+ concentration and activation of MAP-kinase signaling pathways.
1306 14515181 Induction of plasminogen activator inhibitor I by the PPARalpha ligand, Wy-14,643, is dependent on ERK1/2 signaling pathway.
1307 14515181 Impairment of the fibrinolytic system, mostly due to elevated plasma levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), is often associated with metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus and insulin-resistance syndrome.
1308 14515181 Moreover, insulin, as we have previously shown, directly stimulates PAI-1 production with a mechanism underlying a complex signaling network which ultimately leads to ERK activation.
1309 14515181 In this study we have analyzed the effects of agonists of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) alpha and gamma on PAI-1 biosynthesis in HepG2 cells in the presence or absence of insulin.
1310 14515181 The high affinity PPARalpha agonist, Wy-14,643, increased basal and insulin-stimulated PAI-1 antigen release with a mechanism involving gene transcription.
1311 14515181 We then investigated whether the MAP kinase pathway also plays a role in the stimulatory properties of Wy-L4,643.
1312 14515181 Wy-L4,643 increases phosphorylation of ERK and p38 in a time-dependent manner without affecting that of SAPK/JNK or ERK5.
1313 14515181 Moreover, the MEK (ERK kinase) inhibitors, PD98059 and UO126, completely prevented PAI-1 induction by Wy-14,643 without inhibiting the activation of a reporter gene carrying the PPRE element.
1314 14515181 Interestingly, the addition of p38 inhibitor followed by insulin and Wy-14,643 resulted in a greater than additive stimulation of PAI-1 secretion acting through ERK1/2 phosphorylation.
1315 14515181 In contrast, the synthetic PPARgamma agonist, rosiglitazone, did not change PAI-1 level, although this compound induced transcription from the PPRE-driven luciferase reporter construct.
1316 14515181 In conclusion, Wy-14,643 induces PAI-1 gene expression, in the presence or absence of insulin, with a mechanism which is independent on PPARalpha activation and requires signaling through the ERK1/2 signaling pathway.
1317 14566971 Age-related differences in MAP kinase activity in VSMC in response to glucose or TNF-alpha.
1318 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.
1319 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.
1320 14566971 High glucose and TNF-alpha increased ERK phosphorylation more in old (P < 0.05); whereas only TNF-alpha induced JNK activation in young (P < 0.04).
1321 14566971 PD98059, a MEK inhibitor, attenuated AP-1 activation, lowered c-Fos and Fra-1 protein levels and reduced cell number and cells positive for proliferating cell nuclear antigen in old.
1322 14578290 Parathyroid hormone-related protein induces insulin expression through activation of MAP kinase-specific phosphatase-1 that dephosphorylates c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase in pancreatic beta-cells.
1323 14578290 Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) increases the content and mRNA level of insulin in a mouse beta-cell line, MIN6, and primary-cultured mouse islets.
1324 14578290 We examined the mechanism of PTHrP-induced insulin expression.
1325 14578290 The PTHrP effect was markedly augmented by SB203580, a mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase inhibitor, and SB203580 itself increased insulin expression extensively, even without PTHrP.
1326 14578290 Because SB203580 inhibits both p38 and c-jun NH(2)-terminal kinases (JNKs), we investigated the JNK-specific inhibitor SP600125.
1327 14578290 PTHrP induced dephosphorylation of JNK1/2, and PTHrP-induced insulin expression was blocked by a dominant-negative type JNK-APF.
1328 14578290 We suspected that dual specificity MAP kinase phosphatases (MKPs) may be involved in the PTHrP-induced insulin expression by inactivating JNK1/2.
1329 14578290 MIN6 cells contained at least five MKPs, among which only MKP-1 was inducible by PTHrP.
1330 14578290 PTHrP-induced insulin expression was blocked by the MKP-1 expression inhibitor Ro-31-8220, indicating that the PTHrP effect is mediated by MKP-1.
1331 14578290 Indeed, adenoviral MKP-1 expression increased insulin expression by decreasing a phosphorylation form of JNKs and a resulting phosphorylated form of c-jun in MIN6 cells.
1332 14578290 The phosphorylated form of c-jun is known to repress cAMP-dependent insulin gene promoter activity.
1333 14578290 Thus, MKP-1 controls the insulin expression by downregulating a JNK/c-jun pathway.

1344 14578290 The phosphorylated form of c-jun is known to repress cAMP-dependent insulin gene promoter activity.
1345 14578290 Thus, MKP-1 controls the insulin expression by downregulating a JNK/c-jun pathway.

1350 14578290 Because SB203580 inhibits both p38 and c-jun NH(2)-terminal kinases (JNKs), we investigated the JNK-specific inhibitor SP600125.
1351 14578290 PTHrP induced dephosphorylation of JNK1/2, and PTHrP-induced insulin expression was blocked by a dominant-negative type JNK-APF.
1352 14578290 We suspected that dual specificity MAP kinase phosphatases (MKPs) may be involved in the PTHrP-induced insulin expression by inactivating JNK1/2.

1357 14578290 Thus, MKP-1 controls the insulin expression by downregulating a JNK/c-jun pathway.
1358 14593614 The two main transduction pathways are the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase pathway activating protein kinase B which is involved in priority in metabolic effects, and the MAP kinase pathway involved in nuclear effects, proliferation and differentiation.
1359 14593614 This phosphorylation is activated in response to different signals involved in insulin resistance, hyperinsulinism, TNFalpha or increased free fatty acids from adipose tissue, which are transformed inside the cell in acyl-CoA.
1360 14656894 MEK1,2 response element mediates angiotensin II-stimulated plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 promoter activation.
1361 14656894 The MEK1,2 (MAPK/ERK kinase 1 and 2) pathway mediates the up-regulation of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) expression in vascular smooth muscle cells by a variety of hormones, including angiotensin II.
1362 14656894 Transfection of constitutively active MEKK-1, an upstream activator of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathways, was used to isolate an enhancer element located between -89 and -50 bp in PAI-1 promoter that was activated by MEKK-1 and selectively blocked by the MEK1,2 inhibitor PD98059.
1363 14656894 Mutational analysis revealed that the MEKK-1 response element (MRE) contained 2 cis-acting Sp1- and AP-1-like sequences, located between -75 to -70 and -63 to -52 bp, respectively.
1364 14656894 Overexpression of Sp1 enhanced MEKK-1-induced MRE promoter activity and a dominant-negative c-Fos blocked this Sp1 response.
1365 14656894 The combination of Sp1 and c-Jun or c-Fos was required to activate this MRE.
1366 14656894 Angiotensin II (Ang II) stimulation increased c-Fos, c-Jun, and Sp1 binding to the MRE by 100-, 4.9-, and 1.9-fold, respectively, and these responses were inhibited by PD98059 and AT1 receptor antagonist candesartan.
1367 14656894 Intravenous Ang II infusion in rats increased aortic c-Fos binding to the MRE.
1368 14656894 This MRE sequence mediated a 4-fold increase of MEK1,2-dependent PAI-1/luciferase mRNA expression by angiotensin II stimulation.
1369 14656894 This report identifies the MEK1,2 response element that mediates angiotensin II-stimulated PAI-1 promoter activation and shows that activation of this element requires Sp1 and AP-1 co-activation.
1370 14664808 In contrast, both NGF and phosphorylation of trkA increased significantly in DRGs, with a marginal appearance of phosphorylated trkA in axons.
1371 14664808 We suggest that this NGF-independent MAP kinase activation is involved in nonsprouting functions of Neotrofin such as neuroprotection.
1372 14737836 One of the intracellular signal transduction of insulin receptor; MAP kinase may be concerned atherosclerotic mechanisms of insulin resistance.
1373 14766203 Adiponectin suppresses proliferation and superoxide generation and enhances eNOS activity in endothelial cells treated with oxidized LDL.
1374 14766203 Adiponectin (also known as 30-kDa adipocyte complement-related protein or Acrp30) is an abundant adipocyte-derived plasma protein with anti-atherosclerotic and insulin-sensitizing properties.
1375 14766203 Cell treatment with gAd also inhibited basal and oxLDL-induced superoxide release, and suppressed the activation of p42/p44 MAP kinase by oxLDL.

1461 15220210 Mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 mediates reduced nerve conduction velocity in experimental diabetic neuropathy: interactions with aldose reductase.
1462 15220210 This study examined the role of p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in transducing high glucose into deficits in nerve conduction velocity (NCV) that are characteristic of diabetic neuropathy. p38 activation and NCV were measured in streptozocin-induced diabetic rats treated with a p38 inhibitor, an aldose reductase inhibitor, and insulin.
1463 15220210 Insulin treatment for the last 4 of 12 weeks of diabetes normalized p38 activation.
1464 15220210 Treatment of diabetic animals with a specific inhibitor of p38 (SB 239063), fidarestat, or insulin also prevented reductions in both motor and sensory NCV.
1465 15220210 Insulin and aldose reductase inhibitors can prevent excess polyol pathway flux, and hence these agents may prevent NCV deficits by preventing p38 MAP kinase activation.
1466 15233831 Ca(2+)- and MAP-kinase dependent signalling pathways are activated, resulting in stimulation of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase and endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase, two enzyme systems known to be deficient in diabetes.
1467 15331199 The present study investigated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its interactions with endothelin (ET) 1 and 3, endothelial, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (eNOS, iNOS) in mediating diabetes induced retinal vascular dysfunction.
1468 15331199 Male Sprague Dawley rats with streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetes, with or without VEGF receptor signal inhibitor SU5416 treatment (high or low dose) were investigated after 4 weeks of follow-up.
1469 15331199 Diabetic animals showed higher resistivity index (RI), indicative of vasoconstriction with increased ET-1 and ET-3 mRNA expression, whereas eNOS and iNOS mRNA expressions were un-affected.
1470 15331199 SU5416 treatment corrected increased RI via increased iNOS in spite of increased ET-1, ET-3 and VEGF mRNA expression.
1471 15331199 Cell culture (HUVEC) studies indicate that in part, an SU5416 induced iNOS upregulation may be mediated though a MAP kinase signalling pathway.
1472 15379552 Identification of major ERK-related phosphorylation sites in Gab1.
1473 15379552 To address this question in this report we examined extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK) specific serine/threonine phosphorylation of the entire Gab1 engaged in insulin signaling in more detail in vitro.
1474 15379552 To elucidate the ERK1/2-specific phosphorylation pattern of Gab1, we used phosphopeptide mapping by two-dimensional HPLC analysis.
1475 15379552 Our results demonstrate that ERK1/2 phosphorylate Gab1 at six serine/threonine residues (T312, S381, S454, T476, S581, S597) in consensus motifs for MAP kinase phosphorylation.
1476 15379552 The biological role of identified phosphorylation sites was proven by PI3K and Akt activity in intact cells.
1477 15379552 These data demonstrate that ERK1/2 modulate insulin action via Gab1 by targeting serine and threonine residues beside YXXM motifs.
1478 15379552 Accordingly, insulin signaling is blocked at the level of PI3K.
1479 15634339 Insulin resistance in human adipocytes occurs downstream of IRS1 after surgical cell isolation but at the level of phosphorylation of IRS1 in type 2 diabetes.
1480 15634339 Tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and insulin receptor substrate (IRS)1 was insulin sensitive, but protein kinase B (PKB) and downstream metabolic effects exhibited insulin resistance that was reversed by overnight incubation.
1481 15634339 MAP-kinases ERK1/2 and p38 were strongly phosphorylated after surgery, but was dephosphorylated during reversal of insulin resistance.
1482 15634339 Phosphorylation of MAP-kinase was not caused by collagenase treatment during cell isolation and was present also in tissue pieces that were not subjected to cell isolation procedures.
1483 15634339 IRS1, PKB, and downstream metabolic effects, but not insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor, exhibited insulin resistance.
1484 15634339 Moreover, we pinpoint the signalling dysregulation in type 2 diabetes to be the insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of IRS1 in human adipocytes.

1495 15768830 Mechanistically, caveolins interact with a variety of downstream signaling molecules, including Src-family tyrosine kinases, p42/44 mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase, and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and hold these signal transducers in the inactive conformation until activation by an appropriate stimulus.
1496 15772130 We find that the Caudal-related homeobox factor PAL-1 can activate hlh-1 in blastomeres that either lack POP-1/TCF or that have down-regulated POP-1/TCF in response to Wnt/MAP kinase signaling.
1497 15772130 The potent myogenic activity of HLH-1 highlights the remarkable developmental plasticity of early C. elegans blastomeres and reveals the evolutionary conservation of MyoD function.
1498 15796922 The adenylate cyclase activator, forskolin, had an anti-apoptotic effect similar to those of GLP-1 and liraglutide indicating that the effect was cAMP-mediated.

1525 16178743 Over the past decade, the design and development of a small molecule that selectively inhibits the p38 mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase has clearly emerged as one of these challenges within the industry.
1526 16178743 This review will focus on the comparison of the x-ray crystal structures and binding models of the most recent p38 inhibitor-enzyme complexes and the identification of the structural elements and interactions that may be important in providing inhibitor potency and selectivity toward the p38 MAP kinase.
1527 16186174 Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression in the brain is a downstream effector of insulin resistance- associated promotion of Alzheimer's disease beta-amyloid neuropathology.
1528 16186174 With this evidence we continued to explore the regulation of CTGF in postmortem AD brain tissue and found that CTGF expression correlated with the progression of AD clinical dementia and amyloid neuritic plaque (NP) neuropathology, but not neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) deposition.
1529 16186174 Consistent with this evidence, we also found that exposure of Tg2576 mice (a model AD-type amyloid neuropathology) to a diabetogenic diet that promotes IR results in a ~2-fold elevation in CTGF steady-state levels in the brain, coincident with a commensurate promotion of AD-type amyloid plaque burden.
1530 16186174 Finally, using in vitro cellular models of amyloid precursor protein (APP)-processing and Abeta generation/clearance, we confirmed that human recombinant (hr)CTGF may increase Abeta1-40 and Abeta1-42 peptide steady-state levels, possibly through a mechanism that involves gamma-secretase activation and decreased insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) steady-state levels in a MAP kinase (MAPK)/ phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3K)/protein kinase-B (AKT)1-dependent manner.
1531 16231089 Numerous studies in animal models established a key role of the C-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) family (JNK1, JNK2 and JNK3) in numerous pathological conditions, including cancer, cardiac hypertrophy and failure, neurodegenerative disorders, diabetes, arthritis and asthma.

1538 16291965 We propose that this improvement is caused by the combined effect of the tungstate-induced normalization of insulin glucose and luteinizing hormone serum levels and a direct action of the effector on Leydig cells through modulation of at least MAP-kinase and glycogen synthase kinase-3 activities.
1539 16291965 Oral administration of sodium tungstate to adult male streptozotocin-diabetic rats for 3 months normalized serum levels of glucose, insulin, luteinizing hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone.
1540 16291965 Furthermore, the addition of tungstate or insulin to the mTLC-1 cell line from Leydig cell origin increased the phosphorylation states of MAP-kinase and glycogen synthase kinase-3.
1541 16291965 We propose that this improvement is caused by the combined effect of the tungstate-induced normalization of insulin glucose and luteinizing hormone serum levels and a direct action of the effector on Leydig cells through modulation of at least MAP-kinase and glycogen synthase kinase-3 activities.
1542 16467130 On glucose treatment, both p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases and the downstream signaling intermediate NF-kappaB were phosphorylated and translocated to the nucleus.
1543 16467130 Pretreatment of cells with MAP kinase and NF-kappaB-specific inhibitors abolished glucose-induced proliferation.
1544 16515851 AGE-receptor expression, MAP-kinase signal transduction and apoptosis were analyzed using PCR, Western blotting and flow cytometry.
1545 16515851 The mRNA expression of the receptors for AGEs and the AGEs-induced activation of p38 and p44/42 MAP-kinases are demonstrable in CD34 cells.
1546 16581000 A report in this issue of Cell Metabolism suggests that starvation functions via a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor to activate MAP kinase signaling in the pharyngeal muscle of C. elegans (You et al., 2006).
1547 16598903 The two main transduction pathways are the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase pathway activating protein kinase B which is involved in priority in metabolic effects, and the MAP kinase pathway involved in nuclear effects, proliferation and differentiation.
1548 16598903 This phosphorylation is activated in response to different signals involved in insulin resistance, hyperinsulinism, TNFalpha or increased free fatty acids from adipose tissue, which are transformed inside the cell in acyl-CoA.
1549 16604064 In agreement with this notion, cells lacking VHR were found to upregulate p21(Cip-Waf1), whereas they downregulated the expression of genes for cell-cycle regulators, DNA replication, transcription and mRNA processing.
1550 16604064 Loss of VHR also caused a several-fold increase in serum-induced activation of its substrates, the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases Jnk and Erk.
1551 16604064 VHR-induced cell-cycle arrest was dependent on this hyperactivation of Jnk and Erk, and was reversed by Jnk and Erk inhibition or knock-down.
1552 16604064 We conclude that VHR is required for cell-cycle progression as it modulates MAP kinase activation in a cell-cycle phase-dependent manner.
1553 16643859 Cross-talk between angiotensin II and glucagon receptor signaling mediates phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK 1/2 in rat glomerular mesangial cells.
1554 16643859 We have recently shown that the pancreatic hormone glucagon-induced phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase ERK 1/2 as well as growth and proliferation of rat glomerular mesangial cells (MCs) via activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA)- and phospholipase C (PLC)/Ca2+-mediated signaling pathways.
1555 16643859 Since circulating glucagon and tissue angiotensin II (Ang II) levels are inappropriately elevated in type 2 diabetes, we tested the hypothesis that glucagon induces phosphorylation of ERK 1/2 in MCs by interacting with Ang II receptor signaling.
1556 16643859 Both glucagon and Ang II-induced ERK 1/2 phosphorylation (glucagon: 214+/-14%; Ang II: 174+/-16%; p<0.001 versus control), and these responses were inhibited by the AT1 receptor blocker losartan (glucagon + losartan: 77+/-14%; Ang II + losartan: 84+/-18%; p<0.01 versus glucagon or Ang II) and the AT2 receptor blocker PD 123319 (glucagon + PD: 78+/-7%; Ang II + PD: 87+/-7%; p<0.01 versus glucagon or Ang II).
1557 16643859 Inhibition of cAMP-dependent PKA with H89 (1 microM) or PLC with U73122 (1 microM) also markedly attenuated the phosphorylation of ERK 1/2 induced by glucagon (glucagon + U73122: 109+/-15%; glucagon + H89: 113+/-16%; p<0.01 versus glucagon) or Ang II (Ang II + U73122: 111+/-13%; Ang II + H89: 86+/-10%; p<0.01 versus Ang II).
1558 16643859 Wortmannin (1 microM), a selective PI 3-kinase inhibitor, also blocked glucagon- or Ang II-induced ERK 1/2 phosphorylation.
1559 16643859 These results suggest that AT1 receptor-activated cAMP-dependent PKA, PLC and PI 3-kinase signaling is involved in glucagon-induced MAP kinase ERK 1/2 phosphorylation in MCs.
1560 16643859 The inhibitory effect of PD 123319 on glucagon-induced ERK 1/2 phosphorylation further suggests that AT2 receptors also play a similar role in this response.

1564 16643859 Both glucagon and Ang II-induced ERK 1/2 phosphorylation (glucagon: 214+/-14%; Ang II: 174+/-16%; p<0.001 versus control), and these responses were inhibited by the AT1 receptor blocker losartan (glucagon + losartan: 77+/-14%; Ang II + losartan: 84+/-18%; p<0.01 versus glucagon or Ang II) and the AT2 receptor blocker PD 123319 (glucagon + PD: 78+/-7%; Ang II + PD: 87+/-7%; p<0.01 versus glucagon or Ang II).

1566 16643859 Wortmannin (1 microM), a selective PI 3-kinase inhibitor, also blocked glucagon- or Ang II-induced ERK 1/2 phosphorylation.
1567 16643859 These results suggest that AT1 receptor-activated cAMP-dependent PKA, PLC and PI 3-kinase signaling is involved in glucagon-induced MAP kinase ERK 1/2 phosphorylation in MCs.

1569 16699725 MAP4K5 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 5), an early component of MAP kinase signal cascades was shown to activate Jun kinase in mammalian cells.
1570 16699725 The association between SNPs of MAP4K5 and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) was investigated due to the known relationship of the JNK pathway with T2DM.
1571 16699725 Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin release test (IRT) were performed, and blood DNA samples were extracted and genotyped on the MAP4K5 -822G/A site.
1572 16723489 Hepatocyte growth factor induces retinal vascular permeability via MAP-kinase and PI-3 kinase without altering retinal hemodynamics.
1573 16806067 Engagement of RAGE by its ligands triggers activation of key cellular signalling pathways such as the MAP kinase and NF-kappaB pathways.
1574 16814733 Mice lacking MAP kinase phosphatase-1 have enhanced MAP kinase activity and resistance to diet-induced obesity.
1575 16814733 Here we show that mice lacking the nuclear-localized MKP, MKP-1 (mkp-1(-/-)), have enhanced Erk, p38 MAPK and c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) activities in insulin-responsive tissues as compared with wild-type mice.
1576 16814733 Although JNK promotes insulin resistance, mkp-1(-/-) mice exhibited unimpaired insulin-mediated signaling and glucose homeostasis.
1577 16814733 We reconciled these results by demonstrating that in mkp-1(-/-) mice, JNK activity was increased in the nucleus, but not the cytosol.
1578 16814733 These results suggest that nuclear regulation of the MAPKs by MKP-1 is essential for the management of metabolic homeostasis in a manner that is spatially uncoupled from the cytosolic actions of the MAPKs.
1579 16869889 Activation of activating transcription factor 2 by p38 MAP kinase during apoptosis induced by human amylin in cultured pancreatic beta-cells.
1580 16869889 We previously reported that fibrillogenic human amylin (hA) evokes beta-cell apoptosis through linked activation of Jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK 1) and a caspase cascade.
1581 16869889 Here we show that p38 kinase [p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase] became activated by hA treatment of cultured beta-cells whereas extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) did not; by contrast, nonfibrillogenic rat amylin (rA) altered neither.
1582 16869889 Pretreatment with the p38 kinase-inhibitor SB203580 decreased hA-induced apoptosis and caspase-3 activation by approximately 30%; as did combined SB203580 and JNK inhibitor I, by about 70%; and the combination of SB203580, the JNK inhibitor I and a caspase-8 inhibitor, by 100%.
1583 16869889 These findings demonstrate the requirement for concurrent activation of the p38 kinase, JNK and caspase-8 pathways.
1584 16869889 We further showed that hA elicits time-dependent activation of activating transcription factor 2 (ATF-2), which was largely suppressed by SB203580, indicating that this activation is catalyzed mainly by p38 kinase.
1585 16869889 Furthermore, hA-induced apoptosis was suppressed by specific antisense ATF-2, and increased phospho-ATF-2 (p-ATF-2) was associated with increased CRE (cAMP-response element) DNA binding and CRE-mediated transcriptional activity, as well as enhancement of c-jun promoter activation.
1586 16869889 These studies establish p38 MAP kinase-mediated activation of ATF-2 as a significant mechanism in hA-evoked beta-cell death, which may serve as a target for pharmaceutical intervention and effective suppression of beta-cell failure in type-2 diabetes.
1587 16937364 The isoform-specific functions of the c-Jun N-terminal Kinases (JNKs): differences revealed by gene targeting.
1588 16937364 The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) are members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family.
1589 16937364 Initial studies on jnk1(-/-) or jnk2(-/-) mice have shown roles for these JNKs in the immune system whereas studies on jnk3(-/-) mice have highlighted roles for JNK3 in the nervous system.
1590 16937364 Further studies have highlighted the contributions of JNK1 and/or JNK2 to a range of biological and pathological processes.
1591 16949803 The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) form a subfamily of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK).
1592 16949803 Therefore, we have investigated the contractility of blood vessels in mice with genetically deleted JNK1, JNK2, JNK3 and JNK2+3 isoforms and their respective wildtypes.
1593 17020808 The beneficial effects of imatinib may be related to inhibition of the pro-apoptotic MAP kinase JNK.
1594 17064973 Advanced glycation end products stimulate osteoblast apoptosis via the MAP kinase and cytosolic apoptotic pathways.
1595 17064973 CML-collagen increased p38 and JNK activity 3.2- and 4.4-fold, respectively.
1596 17064973 Inhibition of p38 and JNK reduced CML-collagen stimulated apoptosis by 45% and 59% and by 90% when used together (P<0.05).
1597 17064973 The predominant apoptotic pathway induced by CML-collagen involved caspase-8 activation of caspase-3 and was independent of NF-kappaB activation.
1598 17106060 Ghrelin has novel vascular actions that mimic PI 3-kinase-dependent actions of insulin to stimulate production of NO from endothelial cells.
1599 17106060 Therefore, we hypothesized that ghrelin activates endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in vascular endothelium, resulting in increased production of nitric oxide (NO) using signaling pathways shared in common with the insulin receptor.
1600 17106060 Similar to insulin, ghrelin acutely stimulated increased production of NO in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) in primary culture (assessed using NO-specific fluorescent dye 4,5-diaminofluorescein) in a time- and dose-dependent manner.
1601 17106060 Production of NO in response to ghrelin (100 nM, 10 min) in human aortic endothelial cells was blocked by pretreatment of cells with NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (nitric oxide synthase inhibitor), wortmannin [phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase inhibitor], or (D-Lys3)-GHRP-6 (selective antagonist of ghrelin receptor GHSR-1a), as well as by knockdown of GHSR-1a using small-interfering (si) RNA (but not by mitogen/extracellular signal-regulated kinase inhibitor PD-98059).
1602 17106060 Moreover, ghrelin stimulated increased phosphorylation of Akt (Ser473) and eNOS (Akt phosphorylation site Ser1179) that was inhibitable by knockdown of GHSR-1a using siRNA or by pretreatment of cells with wortmannin but not with PD-98059.
1603 17106060 Ghrelin also stimulated phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in BAEC.
1604 17106060 However, unlike insulin, ghrelin did not stimulate MAP kinase-dependent secretion of the vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 from BAEC.
1605 17106060 We conclude that ghrelin has novel vascular actions to acutely stimulate production of NO in endothelium using a signaling pathway that involves GHSR-1a, PI 3-kinase, Akt, and eNOS.
1606 17106060 Ghrelin has novel vascular actions that mimic PI 3-kinase-dependent actions of insulin to stimulate production of NO from endothelial cells.
1607 17106060 Therefore, we hypothesized that ghrelin activates endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in vascular endothelium, resulting in increased production of nitric oxide (NO) using signaling pathways shared in common with the insulin receptor.

1609 17106060 Production of NO in response to ghrelin (100 nM, 10 min) in human aortic endothelial cells was blocked by pretreatment of cells with NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (nitric oxide synthase inhibitor), wortmannin [phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase inhibitor], or (D-Lys3)-GHRP-6 (selective antagonist of ghrelin receptor GHSR-1a), as well as by knockdown of GHSR-1a using small-interfering (si) RNA (but not by mitogen/extracellular signal-regulated kinase inhibitor PD-98059).

1611 17106060 Ghrelin also stimulated phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in BAEC.
1612 17106060 However, unlike insulin, ghrelin did not stimulate MAP kinase-dependent secretion of the vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 from BAEC.
1613 17106060 We conclude that ghrelin has novel vascular actions to acutely stimulate production of NO in endothelium using a signaling pathway that involves GHSR-1a, PI 3-kinase, Akt, and eNOS.
1614 17137336 As expected, the three major islet hormones (insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin) were detected, as well as various beta-cell enriched secretory products, ion channels, and transcription factors.
1615 17137336 In addition, significant proteome coverage of metabolic enzymes and cellular pathways was observed, including the integrin signaling cascade and the MAP kinase, NF-kappa beta, and JAK/STAT pathways.
1616 17229475 MAP kinase pathways: the first twenty years.
1617 17318765 These altered hemodynamics act independently and in concert with metabolic pathways, to activate intracellular second messengers such as protein kinase C (PKC) and MAP kinase (MAPK), nuclear transcription factors such as nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and various growth factors such as the prosclerotic cytokines, transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and the angiogenic, permeability enhancing growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF.
1618 17556534 Moreover, by detecting the activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and MAP kinase (MAPK) pathways, we found that oleate promoted the activation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase-MAPK pathway mainly via GPR40, increased the expression of early growth response gene-1, leading to the anti-lipoapoptotic effect on NIT-1 cells.
1619 17574431 There are two major types of diabetes mellitus: Type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes, IDDM or juvenile onset diabetes) and Type 2 diabetes (non-insulin-dependent diabetes, NIDDM or adult-onset).
1620 17574431 Increased PKC activation have been associated with changes in blood flow, basement membrane thickening, extracellular matrix expansion, increases in vascular permeability, abnormal angiogenesis, excessive apoptosis and changes in enzymatic activity alterations such as Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, cPLA(2), PI3Kinase and MAP kinase.
1621 17575262 Retinol-binding protein-4 attenuates insulin-induced phosphorylation of IRS1 and ERK1/2 in primary human adipocytes.
1622 17575262 Animal models and patients with type 2 diabetes exhibit elevated levels of circulating retinol-binding protein (RBP4), and RBP4 can induce insulin resistance in mice.
1623 17575262 However, little is known about how RBP4 affects insulin signaling.
1624 17575262 RBP4-treated adipocytes exhibited the same molecular defects in insulin signaling, via IRS1 to MAP kinase, as in adipocytes from patients with type 2 diabetes.
1625 17575262 Without affecting autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor, RBP4 blocked the insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of IRS1 at serine (307) [corresponding to serine (302) in the murine sequence] and concomitantly increased the EC50 (from 0.5 to 2 nM) for insulin stimulation of IRS1 phosphorylation at tyrosine.
1626 17575262 The phosphorylation of IRS1 at serine (312) [corresponding to serine (307) in the murine sequence] was not affected in cells from diabetic patients and was also not affected by RBP4.
1627 17575262 The EC50 for insulin stimulation of downstream phosphorylation of MAP kinase ERK1/2 was increased (from 0.2 to 0.8 nM) by RBP4.
1628 17575262 However, the sensitivity to insulin for downstream signaling to control of protein kinase B and glucose uptake was not affected by RBP4.
1629 17575262 When insulin-resistant adipocytes from patients with type 2 diabetes were incubated with antibodies against RBP4, insulin-induced phosphorylation of IRS1 at serine (307) was normalized and the EC50 for insulin stimulation of ERK1/2 phosphorylation was reduced.
1630 17575262 These findings indicate that RBP4 may be released from diabetic adipocytes and act locally to inhibit phosphorylation of IRS1 at serine (307), a phosphorylation site that may integrate nutrient sensing with insulin signaling.
1631 17575262 Retinol-binding protein-4 attenuates insulin-induced phosphorylation of IRS1 and ERK1/2 in primary human adipocytes.
1632 17575262 Animal models and patients with type 2 diabetes exhibit elevated levels of circulating retinol-binding protein (RBP4), and RBP4 can induce insulin resistance in mice.

1637 17575262 The EC50 for insulin stimulation of downstream phosphorylation of MAP kinase ERK1/2 was increased (from 0.2 to 0.8 nM) by RBP4.
1638 17575262 However, the sensitivity to insulin for downstream signaling to control of protein kinase B and glucose uptake was not affected by RBP4.
1639 17575262 When insulin-resistant adipocytes from patients with type 2 diabetes were incubated with antibodies against RBP4, insulin-induced phosphorylation of IRS1 at serine (307) was normalized and the EC50 for insulin stimulation of ERK1/2 phosphorylation was reduced.
1640 17575262 These findings indicate that RBP4 may be released from diabetic adipocytes and act locally to inhibit phosphorylation of IRS1 at serine (307), a phosphorylation site that may integrate nutrient sensing with insulin signaling.
1641 17578804 Somatostatin analogues had an effect on cAMP accumulation, chromogranin A secretion and MAP kinase activity in the cell line.
1642 17578804 Treatment of rat pancreatic islets with somatostatin analogues with selective receptor affinity was not sufficient to induce an inhibition of insulin and glucagon secretion.
1643 17612521 To assess the molecular mechanisms involved in the reactivity of the renal artery, the contribution of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) pathway and of L-type voltage gated Ca(2+) channels (in the contractile response to noradrenaline), of nitric oxide (NO) and Ca(2+) activated K(+) channels (in the endothelium-dependent vasodilator response), and of cGMP (in the endothelium-independent vasodilator response) was examined by exposing the arteries to corresponding inhibitors, and by using myograph and patch-clamp techniques, immunoblotting and NO assays.
1644 17612521 Nebivolol influenced the molecular mechanisms involved in renal artery reactivity in diabetic and hypertensive mice: it increased the NO production and endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) protein expression, decreased the expression of proportional, variant protein in L-type calcium channels and Ca(2+) activated K(+) channels, and diminished the MAP kinase activity.
1645 17612521 To assess the molecular mechanisms involved in the reactivity of the renal artery, the contribution of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) pathway and of L-type voltage gated Ca(2+) channels (in the contractile response to noradrenaline), of nitric oxide (NO) and Ca(2+) activated K(+) channels (in the endothelium-dependent vasodilator response), and of cGMP (in the endothelium-independent vasodilator response) was examined by exposing the arteries to corresponding inhibitors, and by using myograph and patch-clamp techniques, immunoblotting and NO assays.

1647 17647144 Expression changes of mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) in myocardium of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
1648 17647144 MAP Kinase Phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) is a dual specific phosphatase selective for MAP kinases, and was believed to implicate in the development of cardiac hypertrophy.
1649 17647144 Moreover, we provided first evidence that down-regulation of cardioprotective peptide MKP-1, the MAPK pathway negative regulator, in myocardium of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, which may contribute to the deterioration of cardiac function and lead to diabetic cardiomyopathy.
1650 17694057 Among them is Apert syndrome, one of the most severe forms of craniosynostosis, primarily caused by missense mutations leading to amino acid changes S252W or P253R in fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2).
1651 17694057 Restoration of normal FGFR2 signaling is manifested by an alteration of the activity of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), implicating the gene encoding ERK and the genes downstream of it in disease expressivity.
1652 17694057 Furthermore, treatment of the mutant mice with U0126, an inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase 1 and 2 (MEK1/2) that blocks phosphorylation and activation of ERK1/2, significantly inhibits craniosynostosis.
1653 17694057 These results illustrate a pathogenic role for ERK activation in craniosynostosis resulting from FGFR2 with the S252W substitution and introduce a new concept of small-molecule inhibitor-mediated prevention and therapy for diseases caused by gain-of-function mutations in the human genome.
1654 17938539 Characterization of activation of MAP kinase superfamily in vasculature from diabetic rats.
1655 17981625 Each of these can lead to aberrant cell signalling that affects innate immunity for example, by activating the MAP kinase pathway or inducing activation of transcription factors such as NF-kappaB.
1656 17981625 These complications are frequently associated with increased expression of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IL-1beta and IL-6 and enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species.
1657 17991742 c-Src is required for tropomyosin receptor kinase C (TrkC)-induced activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT pathway.
1658 17991742 TrkC expression leads to the constitutive activation of two major effector pathways, namely the Ras-MAP kinase (MAPK) mitogenic pathway and the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT pathway mediating cell survival.
1659 17991742 Here we define some aspects of the molecular mechanisms regulating TrkC-dependent Ras-Erk1/2 and PI3K/Akt activation.
1660 17991742 We show that endogenous TrkC associated with c-Src in human and mouse cancer cells which express TrkC.
1661 17991742 Suppression of c-Src by RNA interference in highly metastatic 4T1 mammary cancer cells, which express endogenous TrkC, resulted in markedly decreased expression of cyclin D1 and suppression of activation of Ras-Erk1/2 and PI3K-Akt.
1662 17991742 Furthermore, in c-Src-deficient SYF cells, TrkC failed to activate the PI3K-Atk pathway, but not the Ras-Erk1/2 pathway.
1663 17991742 Therefore these data indicate that TrkC induces the PI3K-Akt cascade through the activation of c-Src.
1664 18204486 Change in post-translational modifications of histone H3, heat-shock protein-27 and MAP kinase p38 expression by curcumin in streptozotocin-induced type I diabetic nephropathy.
1665 18296638 Overexpression of the dual-specificity phosphatase MKP-4/DUSP-9 protects against stress-induced insulin resistance.
1666 18296638 Insulin resistance, a hallmark of type 2 diabetes and obesity, is associated with increased activity of MAP and stress-activated protein (SAP) kinases, which results in decreased insulin signaling.
1667 18296638 Our goal was to investigate the role of MAP kinase phosphatase-4 (MKP-4) in modulating this process.
1668 18296638 We found that MKP-4 expression is up-regulated during adipocyte and myocyte differentiation in vitro and up-regulated during fasting in white adipose tissue in vivo.
1669 18296638 Overexpression of MKP-4 in 3T3-L1 cells inhibited ERK and JNK phosphorylation and, to a lesser extent, p38MAPK phosphorylation.
1670 18296638 As a result, the phosphorylation of IRS-1 serine 307 induced by anisomycin was abolished, leading to a sensitization of insulin signaling with recovery of insulin-stimulated IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation, IRS-1 docking with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and Akt phosphorylation.
1671 18296638 MKP-4 also reversed the effect of TNF-alpha to inhibit insulin signaling; alter IL-6, Glut1 and Glut4 expression; and inhibit insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
1672 18296638 Overexpression of MKP-4 in the liver of ob/ob mice decreased ERK and JNK phosphorylation, leading to a reduction in fed and fasted glycemia, improved glucose intolerance, decreased expression of gluconeogenic and lipogenic genes, and reduced hepatic steatosis.
1673 18296638 Thus, MKP-4 has a protective effect against the development of insulin resistance through its ability to dephosphorylate and inactivate crucial mediators of stress-induced insulin resistance, such as ERK and JNK, and increasing MKP-4 activity might provide a therapy for insulin-resistant disorders.
1674 18456735 Microvessel vascular smooth muscle cells contribute to collagen type I deposition through ERK1/2 MAP kinase, alphavbeta3-integrin, and TGF-beta1 in response to ANG II and high glucose.
1675 18456735 This study determines that vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) signaling through extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2-mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, alphavbeta(3)-integrin, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 dictates collagen type I network induction in mesenteric resistance arteries (MRA) from type 1 diabetic (streptozotocin) or hypertensive (HT; ANG II) mice.

1716 18614617 Most of the known biological actions of angiotensin II can be attributed to AT1 receptors.
1717 18614617 In these rats, angiotensin II caused significantly higher accumulation of inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and phospholipase C (PLC) activation which was sensitive to blockade by AT1 but not to AT2 antagonist.
1718 18614617 Also, angiotensin II-mediated, AT1-dependent MAP kinase, Na-K-ATPase, and Na/H exchanger 3 activation was higher in BSO-treated rats than in control rats.
1719 18614617 Tempol also normalized the angiotensin II-mediated, AT1-dependent IP3 accumulation and PLC, MAP kinase, Na-K-ATPase, and Na/H exchanger 3 stimulation.

1724 18719589 Here we demonstrate that whereas some members of the family of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) support white adipocyte differentiation, BMP7 singularly promotes differentiation of brown preadipocytes even in the absence of the normally required hormonal induction cocktail.
1725 18719589 BMP7 activates a full program of brown adipogenesis including induction of early regulators of brown fat fate PRDM16 (PR-domain-containing 16; ref. 4) and PGC-1alpha (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) coactivator-1alpha; ref. 5), increased expression of the brown-fat-defining marker uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) and adipogenic transcription factors PPARgamma and CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins (C/EBPs), and induction of mitochondrial biogenesis via p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase-(also known as Mapk14) and PGC-1-dependent pathways.
1726 18719589 Moreover, BMP7 triggers commitment of mesenchymal progenitor cells to a brown adipocyte lineage, and implantation of these cells into nude mice results in development of adipose tissue containing mostly brown adipocytes.
1727 18719589 Bmp7 knockout embryos show a marked paucity of brown fat and an almost complete absence of UCP1.
1728 18719589 These data reveal an important role of BMP7 in promoting brown adipocyte differentiation and thermogenesis in vivo and in vitro, and provide a potential new therapeutic approach for the treatment of obesity.

1745 18855677 We present herein an overview of the progress, along with a brief description of applications to two types of DSPs: Cdc25 and MAP kinase phosphatase (MKP) family members.
1746 18855677 In particular, we focus on combined computational and experimental efforts for designing Cdc25B and MKP-1 inhibitors and understanding their mechanisms of interactions with their target proteins.
1747 18948074 MafA is a basic leucine zipper transcription factor expressed within the beta cells of the pancreas and is required to maintain normal glucose homeostasis as it is involved in various aspects of beta cell biology.
1748 18948074 Inhibition of the MAP-kinase JNK mimics the effects of staurosporine on the expression of mafA.
1749 18948074 However, staurosporine, JNK, and calmodulin kinase have different effects on the induction of insulin expression.
1750 19133313 The induction of C/EBPbeta elicited by palmitate was prevented by inhibiting the ERK1/2 MAP kinase pathway or by reducing mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation with an inhibitor of Carnitine Palmitoyl Transferase-1.
1751 19133313 Overexpression of C/EBPbeta mimicked the detrimental effects of palmitate and resulted in a drastic reduction in insulin promoter activity, impairment in the capacity to respond to secretory stimuli and an increase in apoptosis.
1752 19273441 Changes in apoptotic and MAP Kinase signaling pathways were detected by Western blotting analyses.
1753 19273441 The activity of ERK1/2 was dramatically decreased and the activity of JNK1/2 was significantly increased.
1754 19273441 Differentially expressed genes, MAP Kinase, and apoptotic signal pathways play very important roles in hyperglycemia induced neural tube defects.
1755 19273441 Changes in apoptotic and MAP Kinase signaling pathways were detected by Western blotting analyses.
1756 19273441 The activity of ERK1/2 was dramatically decreased and the activity of JNK1/2 was significantly increased.
1757 19273441 Differentially expressed genes, MAP Kinase, and apoptotic signal pathways play very important roles in hyperglycemia induced neural tube defects.
1758 19802778 This effect was, however, not due to an interfering with EGF-signaling, because I(2) and IL did not affect the phosphorylation of EGF-receptors, EGF-induced activation of MAP-kinase (Erk(1/2)), or EGF-induced lamellar actin protrusion.

1760 20213272 TGF-beta stimulates biglycan synthesis via p38 and ERK phosphorylation of the linker region of Smad2.
1761 20213272 Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta treatment of human vascular smooth-muscle cells increases the expression of biglycan and causes marked elongation of its glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains.
1762 20213272 TGF-beta-stimulated phosphorylation of p38, ERK, and JNK as well as Smad2 at both its carboxy terminal (phospho-Smad2C) and in the linker region (phospho-Smad2L).
1763 20213272 Pharmacological inhibition of ERK and p38 blocked TGF-beta-mediated GAG elongation and expression of biglycan whereas inhibition of JNK had no effect.
1764 20213272 Inhibition of ERK and p38 but not JNK attenuated the effect of TGF-beta to increase phospho-Smad2L.
1765 20213272 Thus, MAP kinase signaling through ERK and p38 and via phosphorylation of the linker region of Smad2 mediates the effects of TGF-beta on biglycan synthesis in vascular smooth-muscle cells.
1766 20630933 Expression (gene and protein) of Nox4, p22(phox), and p47(phox), but not Nox1 or Nox2, was increased in kidney cortex, but not medulla, from db/db vs. control mice (db/m) (P < 0.05).
1767 20630933 ROS generation, p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase phosphorylation, and content of fibronectin and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1/2 were increased in db/db vs. db/m (P < 0.01).

1775 21090814 This approach was used to screen both the c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase Jnk-1 (involved in insulin signaling) and p38α (involved in the formation of TNFα and other cytokines).
1776 21090814 Jnk-1 and p38α both belong to the MAP kinase family, and the allosteric ligands for both targets bind similarly on a ledge of the protein surface exposed by the MAP insertion present in the CMGC family of protein kinases and distant from the active site.
1777 21090814 Medicinal chemistry studies resulted in an improved Jnk-1 ligand able to increase adiponectin secretion in human adipocytes and increase insulin-induced protein kinase PKB phosphorylation in human hepatocytes, in similar fashion to Jnk-1 siRNA and to rosiglitazone treatment.

1801 22540890 This tumor growth reduction was accompanied by the enhanced apoptotic cell death and an increase in Bax:Bcl2 ratio.
1802 22540890 The mechanism by which metformin manifests antitumor effects appears to be dependent on the inhibition of nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB) and mTOR signaling pathways.
1803 22540890 Decreased phosphorylation of NFkB inhibitory protein IKBα together with reduced enhancement of NFkB transcriptional target proteins, iNOS/COX-2 were observed.
1804 22540890 In addition, a decrease in the activation of ERK/p38-driven MAP kinase signaling was seen.
1805 22540890 Similarly, AKT signaling activation as assessed by the diminished phosphorylation at Ser473 with a concomitant decrease in mTOR signaling pathway was also noted as phosphorylation of mTOR regulatory proteins p70S6K and 4E-BP-1 was significantly reduced.
1806 22540890 These results suggest that metformin blocks SCC growth by dampening NFkB and mTOR signaling pathways.

1809 22720029 Isolated heart perfusion model of global ischemia was used to study the effect of chronic inhibition or acute activation of EGFR/erbB2 signaling on cardiac function in a rat model of type-1 diabetes.
1810 22720029 Chronic treatment with AG825 or AG1478, selective inhibitors of erbB2 and EGFR respectively, did not affect hyperglycemia but led to an exacerbation whereas acute administration of the EGFR ligand, epidermal growth factor (EGF), led to an improvement in cardiac recovery in diabetic hearts.
1811 22720029 Diabetes led to attenuated dimerization and phosphorylation of cardiac erbB2 and EGFR receptors that was associated with reduced signaling via extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), p38 mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase and AKT (protein kinase B).
1812 22720029 Ischemia was also associated with reduced cardiac signaling via these molecules whereas EGF-treatment opposed diabetes and/or ischemia induced changes in ERK1/2, p38 MAP kinase, and AKT-FOXO signaling.
1813 22720029 Co-administration of EGF rescued Losartan-mediated reduction in EGFR phosphorylation and significantly improved cardiac recovery more than with either agent alone.
1814 22720029 EGFR/erbB2 signaling is an important cardiac survival pathway whose activation, particularly in diabetes, ischemia or following treatment with drugs that inhibit this cascade, significantly improves cardiac function.
1815 22820249 Profound conformational changes of PED/PEA-15 in ERK2 complex revealed by NMR backbone dynamics.
1816 22820249 PED/PEA-15 is a small, non-catalytic, DED containing protein that is widely expressed in different tissues and highly conserved among mammals.
1817 22820249 PED/PEA-15 has been found to interact with several protein targets in various pathways, including FADD and procaspase-8 (apoptosis), ERK1/2 (cell cycle entry), and PLD1/2 (diabetes).
1818 22820249 In this research, we have studied the PED/PEA-15 in a complex with ERK2, a MAP kinase, using NMR spectroscopic techniques.
1819 22820249 MAP Kinase signaling pathways are involved in the regulation of many cellular functions, including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and survival.
1820 22820249 Previous studies have shown that PED/PEA-15 complexes with ERK2 in the cytoplasm and prevents redistribution into the nucleus.
1821 22820249 Here we report NMR chemical shift perturbation and backbone dynamic studies at the fast ps-ns timescale of PED/PEA-15, in its free form and in the complex with ERK2.

1831 23056550 Regulation of the CCL2 gene in pancreatic β-cells by IL-1β and glucocorticoids: role of MKP-1.
1832 23056550 Therefore, we investigated the positive and negative regulatory components controlling expression of the CCL2 gene using isolated rat islets and INS-1-derived β-cell lines.
1833 23056550 We discovered that activation of the CCL2 gene by IL-1β required the p65 subunit of NF-κB and was dependent on genomic response elements located in the -3.6 kb region of the proximal gene promoter.
1834 23056550 CCL2 gene transcription in response to IL-1β was blocked by pharmacological inhibition of the IKKβ and p38 MAPK pathways.
1835 23056550 The IL-1β-mediated increase in CCL2 secretion was also impaired by p38 MAPK inhibition and by glucocorticoids.
1836 23056550 Moreover, multiple synthetic glucocorticoids inhibited the IL-1β-stimulated induction of the CCL2 gene.
1837 23056550 Induction of the MAP Kinase Phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) gene by glucocorticoids or by adenoviral-mediated overexpression decreased p38 MAPK phosphorylation, which diminished CCL2 gene expression, promoter activity, and release of CCL2 protein.
1838 23056550 We conclude that glucocorticoid-mediated repression of IL-1β-induced CCL2 gene transcription and protein secretion occurs in part through the upregulation of the MKP-1 gene and subsequent deactivation of the p38 MAPK.
1839 23056550 Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory actions observed with MKP-1 overexpression were obtained without suppressing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
1840 23395853 Retinoids, through activation of retinoic acid receptor (RAR) and retinoid x receptor (RXR), have been linked to control glucose and lipid homeostasis, with effects on obesity and diabetes.
1841 23395853 Diabetic cardiomyopathy was characterized in ZDF rats by increased oxidative stress, apoptosis, fibrosis, inflammation, activation of MAP kinases and NF-κB signaling and diminished Akt phosphorylation, along with decreased glucose transport and increased cardiac lipid accumulation, and ultimately diastolic dysfunction.
1842 23395853 Am580 and LGD1069 attenuated diabetes-induced cardiac dysfunction and the pathological alterations, by improving glucose tolerance and insulin resistance; facilitating Akt activation and glucose utilization, and attenuating oxidative stress and interrelated MAP kinase and NF-κB signaling pathways.
1843 23404499 In investigating the associated mechanisms, we found that leucine itself does not activate the classical Akt- or ERK1/2 MAP kinase-dependent signaling pathways but can facilitate the insulin-induced phosphorylations of Akt(473) and ERK1/2 in a time- and dose-dependent manner in cultured hepatocytes.
1844 23404499 The leucine-facilitated insulin-induced phosphorylation of Akt at residue 473 was not affected by knocking down the key component of mTORC1 or -2 complexes but was blocked by inhibition of c-Src (PP2), PI3K (LY294002), Gαi protein (pertussis toxin or siRNA against Gαi1 gene, or β-arrestin 2 (siRNA)).
1845 23404499 Similarly, the leucine-facilitated insulin activation of ERK1/2 was also blunted by pertussis toxin.
1846 23468892 Obesity-induced insulin resistance in human skeletal muscle is characterised by defective activation of p42/p44 MAP kinase.
1847 23468892 Although IR is closely associated with obesity, the identity of the molecular defect(s) underlying obesity-induced IR in skeletal muscle remains controversial; reduced post-receptor signalling of the insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) adaptor protein and downstream effectors such as protein kinase B (PKB) have previously been implicated.
1848 23468892 The most striking abnormality was significantly reduced insulin-induced activation of p42/44 MAP kinase, measured by specific assay, in the volunteers with poor insulin sensitivity.
1849 23468892 However, there was no relationship between individuals' BMI or M-value and protein expression/phosphorylation of IRS1, PKB, or p42/44 MAP kinase protein, under basal or hyperinsulinaemic conditions.
1850 23468892 In the few individuals with poor insulin sensitivity but preserved p42/44 MAP kinase activation, other signalling defects were evident.
1851 23468892 These findings implicate defective p42/44 MAP kinase signalling as a potential contributor to obesity-related IR in a non-diabetic population, although clearly multiple signalling defects underlie obesity associated IR.

1876 23481023 These effects were associated with a PEA-15-dependent down-regulation of integrin αvβ5 as well as with elevated levels of the phosphorylated MAP kinase ERK1/2.
1877 23481023 Moreover, expression of PEA-15 resulted in significant protection from cell death induced by cytotoxic drugs (5-FU, cisplatin), by the death ligand TRAIL, or by serum withdrawal.
1878 23675062 Inhibition of Raf-1 kinase repressed glucose-induced apoptosis of the cells by 75%, and this was accompanied by attenuation of activation of MAP kinase, ERK-1, nuclear transcriptional factor and caspase-3.
1879 23698110 Inhibition of the TNF-α-induced serine phosphorylation of IRS-1 at 636/639 by AICAR.
1880 23698110 AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) contributes to the acceleration of insulin signaling.
1881 23698110 However, the mechanism by which AMPK regulates insulin signaling remains unclear.
1882 23698110 Here we investigated the role of AMPK in serine phosphorylation of IRS-1 at 636/639 and 307, which is induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in 3T3L1 adipocytes.
1883 23698110 We demonstrated that the AMPK activator 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-d-ribofuranoside (AICAR) significantly inhibited the TNF-α-induced serine phosphorylation of IRS-1 at 636/639 and 307 by suppression of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation but not c-Jun-NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation.
1884 23698110 In addition, AICAR stimulation resulted in enhanced interaction between ERK and MAP kinase phosphatase-4 (DUSP9/MKP-4) without affecting DUSP9/MPK4 mRNA synthesis.
1885 23698110 Moreover, intraperitoneal administration (0.25 g/kg) of AICAR to db/db mice improved blood glucose levels and inhibited the phosphorylation of ERK in adipose tissue.
1886 23698110 In conclusion, we propose a new mechanism in which AICAR suppresses TNF-α-induced serine phosphorylation of IRS-1 at 636/639 and 307 by enhancing the interaction between ERK and DUSP9/MKP-4.

1888 12975336 Insulin and glucagon signaling in regulation of microsomal epoxide hydrolase expression in primary cultured rat hepatocytes.
1889 12975336 The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors wortmannin or LY294002 [2-(4-morpholinyl)-8-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one], and rapamycin, an inhibitor of p70 S6 kinase phosphorylation, ameliorated the insulin-mediated increase in mEH protein levels.
1890 12975336 The p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase inhibitors SB203580 and SB202190 also abrogated the insulin-mediated increase in mEH protein.
1891 12975336 Furthermore, these data suggest that PI3K and p70 S6 kinase are active in the regulation of insulin-mediated mEH expression.
1892 12975336 We also provide data implicating p38 MAP kinase in the insulin-mediated increase in mEH levels.
1893 16282221 The cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonist rimonabant (SR141716) inhibits cell proliferation and increases markers of adipocyte maturation in cultured mouse 3T3 F442A preadipocytes.
1894 16282221 In parallel to this inhibitory effect on preadipocyte cell proliferation, rimonabant (25-100 nM) stimulates mRNA expression and protein levels of two late markers of adipocyte differentiation (adiponectin and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase) with a maximal effect at 100 nM, without inducing the accumulation of lipid droplets.
