Glial cells in the mammalian CNS are subject to environmental stress resulting from a variety of neuropathological conditions. In this study, we have examined the activation of a stress signal responsive kinase, i.e., stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) or cJun N-terminal kinase (JNK), in primary

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 Molecular mechanisms underlying chemotherapeutic agentβinduced apoptosis in sarcoma cells are not well known. Induction of apoptosis is regulated by several components including mitogenβactivated protein kinases (MAPKs) comprising ERK, p38MAPKs, and cβJun Nβterminal kinase (JNK). In the
