## Abstract Mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) can be phosphorylated by mitogens binding to G‐protein‐coupled receptors and is considered a major pathway involved in cell proliferation. In this study, we report on the activation of MAPK by muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in astroglial cells

## Abstract Activation of P2Y~2~ receptors by extracellular nucleotides has been shown to induce phenotypic differentiation of human promonocytic U937 cells that is associated with the inflammatory response. The P2Y~2~ receptor agonist, UTP, induced the phosphorylation of the MAP kinases MEK1/2 and
## Abstract The effects of P2Y2 purinoceptor activation on c‐Fos expression and the signaling pathways evoked by extracellular ATP/UTP in HeLa cells were investigated. We found that P2Y2 activation induced c‐Fos protein and phosphorylated the extracellular signal‐regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2).
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade is activated in response to various extracellular stimuli. The authors investigated the involvement of the p38 MAPK, a member of the MAPK superfamily, cascade in hepatoma cell lines and in human hepatocellular carcinoma
## Abstract Although microglial cells are thought to play a beneficial role in the regeneration and plasticity of the central nervous system (CNS), recent studies have indicated that at least some molecules released by microglia may be harmful in acute brain insults and neurodegenerative diseases.
