In rat pheochromocytoma cell line (PC12) cells, initial epidermal growth factor (EGF)-stimulated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation was similar to that promoted by nerve growth factor (NGF), but declined rapidly. Pre-treatment with apigenin or LY294002 sustained EGF-stimulated ERK1/2 phosphorylation whereas wortmannin partially blocked initial ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Changes in ERK1/2 phosphorylation correlated with alterations in p90 ribosomal S6 kinase activity. Wortmannin, LY294002 and apigenin totally blocked growth factor-induced protein kinase B phosphorylation. However, none of them potentiated Raf activation, which was in fact decreased by LY290042 and wortmannin. The sustained EGF-induced ERK1/2 activation promoted by apigenin was not sufficient to commit PC12 cells to differentiate, which was achieved by stimulation with NGF, either alone or in the presence of apigenin.

Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is flavivirus transmitted to the host via tick saliva which contains various molecules with biological impacts. One of such molecules is Iristatin, a cysteine protease inhibitor from Ixodes ricinus that has been shown to have immunomodulatory properties. To characterize Iristatin in the relation to TBEV, we investigate whether this tick inhibitor has any capacity to influence TBEV infection.

The proliferative effects of angiotensin (Ang) II in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) through its ability to stimulate extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) pathway have been established. The main goal of this study was to explore whether Ang III induces ERK1/2 MAPK and VSMC proliferation in cultured Wistar VSMCs. Further, the Ang III actions were compared to those observed in VSMCs derived from the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR).

Severe trauma frequently leads to nerve damage. Peripheral nerves possess a degree of regenerative ability, and actively promoting their recovery can help restore the sensory and functional capacities of tissues. The neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is believed to regulate the repair of injured peripheral nerves, with neuronal transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) potentially serving as a crucial upstream factor.

Domain antibodies such as monobodies provide an attractive immunoglobin fold for evolving high-affinity protein binders targeting the intracellular proteins implicated in cell signalling. However, it remains a challenge to endow cell permeability to these small and versatile protein binders. Here, we report a streamlined approach combining orthogonal crosslinking afforded by a genetically encoded β-lactam-lysine (BeLaK) and genetic supercharging to generate cell-penetrating monobodies.

This study examined the response to cisplatin in BxPC-3, Mia-Paca-2, PANC-1, and YAPC pancreatic cancer lines with different genotypic and phenotypic characteristics, and the mechanisms associated with their resistance. BxPC-3 and MIA-PaCa-2 cell lines were the most sensitive to cisplatin, while YAPC and PANC-1 were more resistant. Consistently, in cisplatin-treated BxPC-3 cells, the cleavage patterns of pro-caspase-9, -7, -3, and PARP-1 demonstrated that they were more sensitive than YAPC cells.
