✦ Synopsis

Salicylates inhibit signaling by tumor necrosis factor (TNF), including TNF-induced activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). On the other hand, we recently showed that in normal human diploid fibroblasts sodium salicylate (NaSal) elicits activation of p38 MAPK but not activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). Here we show that NaSal treatment of COS-1 or HT-29 cells produced a sustained c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation. Activation of JNK or p38 MAPK by NaSal (or aspirin) was not due to a nonspecific hyperosmotic effect because much higher molar concentrations of sorbitol or NaCl were required to produce a similar activation. Three structurally unrelated nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and indomethacin) failed to induce significant activation of JNK or p38 MAPK, suggesting that cyclooxygenase inhibition is not the underlying mechanism whereby salicylates induce p38 MAPK and JNK activation. Activation of JNK and p38 MAPKs may be relevant for some antiinflammatory actions of salicylates.

## Abstract Molecular mechanisms underlying chemotherapeutic agent–induced apoptosis in sarcoma cells are not well known. Induction of apoptosis is regulated by several components including mitogen‐activated protein kinases (MAPKs) comprising ERK, p38MAPKs, and c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase (JNK). In the

Methylglyoxal (MG) is a physiological metabolite, but it is known to be toxic, inducing stress in cells and causing apoptosis. This study examines molecular mechanisms in the MG-induced signal transduction leading to apoptosis, focusing particularly on the role of JNK activation. We first confirmed

Recently identified c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase are activated by stimuli of various cellular stresses, cytokines, and growth factors. Strong activation of JNK was reported in the regenerating liver, implicating JNK in growth stimulation of hepatocytes. Howe

## Abstract The c‐Jun N‐terminal kinases (JNKs) are members of the mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) family. In mammalian genomes, three genes encode the JNK family. To evaluate JNK function, mice have been created with deletions in one or more of three __Jnk__ genes. Initial studies on __jnk
