Multiple studies demonstrate that manganese (Mn) exposure potentiates inflammatory mediator output from activated glia; this increased output is associated with enhanced mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK: p38, ERK and JNK) activity. We hypothesized that Mn activates MAPK by activating the kinas

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Formation of the mammalian orofacial region involves multiple signaling pathways regulating sequential expression of and interaction between molecular signals during embryogenesis. The present study examined the expression patterns of members of the MAPK family in develo
The loss of ability to proliferate (terminal differentiation) and reduction in capability to resist ischemia are key phenomena observed during postnatal development of the heart. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) mediate signaling pathways for cell proliferation/differentiation and stress re
## Abstract A major mechanism for Na^+^ transport across epithelia occurs through epithelial Na^+^ channels (ENaC). ENaC is a multimeric channel consisting of three subunits (Ξ±, Ξ², and Ξ³). The Ξ±βsubunit is critical for ENaC function. In specific culture conditions, the rat submandibular gland epith
## Abstract We have earlier shown that oral infusion of a polyphenolic fraction isolated from green tea, at a human achievable dose (equivalent to six cups of green tea per day), significantly inhibits prostate cancer (PCA) development and metastasis in __tr__ansgenic __a__denocarcinoma of __m__ous
## Abstract We previously showed that prolonged and strong ERK phosphorylation induced by Compound 5 (Cpd 5), a Cdc25A protein phosphatase inhibitor, was involved in its mechanism of cell growth inhibition. To study the relationship between ERK phosphorylation and cell growth inhibition, we used Cp
