CB1R-dependent activation of Fyn tyrosine kinase and protein kinase C Delta, PKCδ, in lipid rafts
(2008)Cannabinoid 1 receptors (CB1Rs) are heptahelical transmembrane receptors which may exert their effects through the activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs). We have previously shown that stably ... -
Human peripheral blood mononuclear cell culture for flow cytometric analysis of phosphorylated mitogen-activated protein kinases
(2012)Lymphocyte activation and fine tuning of downstream signaling circuits for the regulation of cytokine expression are critical for a successful immune response. Hence, technical protocols permitting simultaneous testing of ... -
Identification of MAPK phosphorylation sites and their role in the localization and activity of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α
(2006)Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) controls the expression of most genes induced by hypoxic conditions. Regulation of expression and activity of its inducible subunit, HIF-1α, involves several post-translational modifications. ... -
Inhibition of the Na-H + exchanger isoform-1 and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase induces apoptosis: A time course of events
(2006)Aims: The present study attempts to shed light on the role and the relative position of the Na +/H + exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in HEp-2 cell signaling pathways concerning ... -
Insulin causes a transient induction of proliferation via activation of the PI3-kinase pathway in airway smooth muscle cells
(2007)Insulin regulates glucose metabolism and activates cell growth. As the respiratory system is an alternative route for insulin administration in patients with diabetes mellitus, we studied the effect of insulin on rabbit ... -
Toll-like receptors and their role in renal pathologies
(2012)Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are the first identified and best studied family of pattern recognition receptors. Expressed in immunocytes, TLRs initiate innate immune responses and concurrently shape the subsequent adaptive ... -
Transactivation of epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR by CB1 cannabinoid receptor agonists
(2007)Cannabinoids have long been used as therapeutic agents. The recent identification of the endogenous cannabinoid system in the brain, namely the abundance of the CB1 receptor (CB1R) in the CNS and the discovery of the ...
