Mammalian mitogen-activated protein kinases include the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase, the c-Jun amino-terminal kinase, and the p38 subgroups. Sustained activation of Jun kinase and p38 have been shown to precede apoptosis of PC12 pheochromocytoma cells induced by withdrawal of troph

## Abstract To create precise neural circuits in the nervous system, neuritogenesis and synaptogenesis are the critical cellular processes during neuronal differentiation. We examined the cyclic AMP (cAMP)‐responsible signaling pathways for regulating neuritogenesis and synaptogenesis in NG108‐15 c
Activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) has been intensely studied in the past several years due to its role as an inducible regulator of inflammation, apoptosis, transformation, and oncogenesis. Recently, increasing evidence supports a role for NF-kB in regulation of a
The effects of the active phorbol ester 12-myristate, 13-acetate (PMA), the inactive ester 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate (4 alpha-PDD), and the synthetic diacylglycerol 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-glycerol (OAG) on cyclic AMP production were examined in rat cerebral cortical and diencephalic cells. With t
We have studied the interaction between several growth factors to promote parasympathetic neuronal survival. Neither insulin nor insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) had any effect on the survival of embryonic day 8 chick ciliary neurons in culture. Similarly, the protein kinase C activator phorbol
Perturbation of hepatocyte growth regulation is associated with a number of liver diseases such as fibrosis and cancer. These diseases are mediated by a network of growth factors and cytokines that regulate the induction of hepatocyte proliferation and apoptosis. In this study, we have investigated
