Mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase 1 is a tyrosine phosphatase superfamily member that dephosphorylates and inactivates mitogen-activated protein kinase substrates, such as p38, c-Jun-N-terminal kinase, and extracellular signal-related kinase. These mitogen-activated protein kinase substrates regulate many cellular processes associated with human diseases. In spite of this potential as a molecular target for chemotherapy, however, pharmacologically tractable inhibitors of mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 have yet to be developed. Based on the results from a high-throughput screen for small molecule inhibitors of mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1, we designed, synthesized, and evaluated a focused library in an effort to further understand the structural requirements for mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 inhibitory activity.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is characterized genetically by diverse gene mutations of the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling cascade. BRAFN486_T491delinsK mutation is a rare mutation that involves the β2-αC ring domain, causing activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, and is predicted to be resistant to the chemotherapy and BRAFV600E inhibitor in adult LCH cases. Here, we report a childhood LCH case with this novel BRAF mutation and had a good response to conventional chemotherapy.

Purpose: Sulfur mustard gas (SM) exposure to eyes causes multiple corneal injuries including stromal cell loss in vivo. However, mechanisms mediating stromal cell loss/death remains elusive. This study sought to test the novel hypothesis that SM-induced toxicity to human corneal stromal fibroblasts involves ferroptosis mechanism via p38 MAPK signaling.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the most important etiologies of acute respiratory infections that cause bronchiolitis in children under 5 years of age. Treatments are expensive, no vaccine is available, and this is an important cause of hospitalization. Costimulatory molecules have been reported to be good inducers of antiviral type 1 immune response.

Brain microvascular endothelial cells are connected by tight junction (TJ) proteins and interacted by adhesion molecules, which participate in the selective permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The disruption of BBB is associated with the progression of cerebral diseases. Pterostilbene is a natural compound found in blueberries and grapes with a wide range of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-diabetic effects.
