Increasing evidence suggests a role for apoptosis in the maintenance of the alveolar epithelium under normal and pathological conditions. However, the signaling pathways modulating alveolar type II (ATII) cell apoptosis remain poorly defined. Here we investigated the role of MAPKs as modulators of o
## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major agent in choroidal and retinal neovascularization, events associated with ageโrelated macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy. Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), strategically located between retina and choroid, plays a cri
Stimulation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) or extracellular signal regulated protein kinases (ERKs) after exposure of mammalian cells to ultraviolet (UV) and X-irradiation occurs through activation of receptor tyrosine kinases via Ras/Raf/Mek/ERKs cascade. This activation of MAPKs is p
## Abstract The present study was undertaken to examine the role of mitogenโactivated protein kinases (MAPKs) in apoptosis induction by phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a cruciferous vegetableโderived cancer chemopreventive agent, with DU145 and LNCaP human prostate cancer cells as a model. The MA
Sesquiterpene lactones have attracted much attention because they display a wide range of biological activities, including antitumor properties. Here, we show the effects of the naturally occurring sesquiterpene lactone asteriscunolide A (AS) on viability of human melanoma, leukemia and cells that o
