Nicotinamide attenuates the ischemic brain injury-induced decrease of Akt activation and Bad phosphorylation.
. Adult male rats were treated with vehicle or nicotinamide (500 mg/kg) 2h after the onset of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Brains were collected 24h after MCAO and infarct volumes were analyzed. Nicotinamide significantly reduced the infarct volume in the cerebral cortex. Potential activation was measured by phosphorylation of PDK1 at Ser(241), Akt at Ser(473), and Bad at Ser(136) using Western blot analysis. Nicotinamide prevented the injury-induced decrease of pPDK1, pAkt, and pBad levels.

Paeonol prevents excitotoxicity in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells via downregulation of ERK activation and inhibition of apoptosis.
Our findings showed that paeonol dose-dependently prevented glutamate-induced cell death as evidenced by cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase release, and trypan blue exclusion. In addition, flow cytometry of propidium iodide-stained cells revealed that paeonol pretreatment reduced the level of glutamate-induced apoptosis in pheochromocytoma cells. Paeonol was also able to decrease the glutamate-induced injury of mitochondria by normalization of mitochondrial membrane potential and cytochrome c release. The glutamate-induced activity of caspase-3 and p-ERK were dose-dependently reduced by paeonol pretreatments. Taken together, our data suggest that paeonol develops its neuroprotective effect against glutamate neurotoxicity through inhibition of the apoptotic signaling pathway and upregulation of the p-ERK pathway.

Phosphorylated JNK and ERK increased with the proliferation of NPCs after DHPG and CHPG treatment under hypoxia, while p-p38 level decreased. These results demonstrate that the expression of mGluR5 was upregulated during the proliferation of rat NPCs stimulated by hypoxia in vitro. The activation of the ERK and JNK signaling pathway and the expression of cyclin D1 were increased in this process. These finding suggest the involvement of mGluR5 in rat NPC proliferation and provide a target molecule in neural repair after ischemia/hypoxia

Dopamine promotes striatal neuronal apoptotic death via ERK signaling cascades.
Here we investigated in rat striatal primary neurons the mobilization of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways after treatment with DA. Instead of observing an elevation of the archetypical pro-cytotoxic MAPKs, p-JNK and p-p38 MAPK, we found that DA, acting through D1 DA receptors, induced a sustained stimulation of the phosphorylated form of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK) via a cAMP/protein kinase A (PKA)/Rap1/B-Raf / MAPK/ERK kinase (MEK) pathway.

Therefore, the aim of the present study was to identify the role of the phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3-K/Akt) and the mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal regulated protein kinase (MAPK/ERK) pathways in P2Y receptor-mediated astrogliosis after traumatic injury and after microinfusion of ADP beta S (P2Y(1,12,13) receptor agonist) into the rat nucleus accumbens (NAc). Mechanical damage and even more the concomitant treatment with ADP beta S, enhanced P2Y(1) receptor-expression in the NAc, which could be reduced by pretreatment with the P2X/Y receptor antagonist PPADS. Quantitative Western blot analysis indicated a significant increase in phosphorylated (p)Akt and pERK1/2 2 h after ADP beta S-microinjection.

To test this hypothesis, we subjected postnatal day 10 rats to HI by ligating common carotid artery followed by hypoxia. Rat brains were collected to detect the expression of HIF-1alpha and its target gene, vascular(血管的) endothelial (内皮)growth factor (VEGF), as well as PI3K/Akt using immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis. We found that the expression of HIF-1alpha and VEGF was significantly upregulated and peaked at 8 h after HI compared with sham controls. However, the expression of p-Akt peaked at 4 h, earlier than that seen in HIF-1alpha expression. Furthermore, we found that HIF-1alpha and VEGF protein were significantly inhibited after blocking the PI3K/Akt pathway using a specific inhibitor, wortmannin. Our findings suggest that the PI3K/Akt pathway is involved in the regulation of HIF-1alpha and its target gene VEGF in the developing rat brain after HI.

The expression of cyclin D1, phosphorylated extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK) and p38 were analyzed by immunoblotting assay. The results showed that hypoxia increased NSCs proliferation in cell amount, diameter of neurospheres, BrdU incorporation and cell division, and the highest proliferation of the NSCs was observed with 12 h hypoxic treatment; hypoxia did not decrease cell death of NSCs; after hypoxic treatment, the expression of cyclin D1 increased, meanwhile P-JNK2 level increased, P-p38 decreased, and no significant change in P-ERK2 level compared to normoxic cultures. JNK inhibitor SP600125 attenuated the increase of cyclin D1 induced by hypoxia.

Membrane-impermeable estrogen is involved in regulation of calbindin-D9k expression via non-genomic pathways in a rat pituitary cell line, GH3 cells.
Taken together, these results demonstrate the involvement of various signaling pathways in E2-induced regulation of CaBP-9k. In addition, ER and G-protein-coupled signaling pathways may play central roles in the non-genomic activities of E2 and that downstream signaling via ERK and Akt are required to evoke ER-mediated induction of CaBP-9k in vitro.

Divergent Signaling Pathways Requiring Discrete Calcium Signals Mediate Concurrent Activation of Two Mitogen-activated Protein Kinases by Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone*
We have demonstrated recently that gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor occupancy results in activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) through a mechanism requiring calcium influx through L-type calcium channels in αT3-1 cells and primary rat gonadotropes. Further studies were undertaken to explore the signaling mechanisms by which the GnRH receptor is coupled to activation of another member of the MAPK family, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the temporal expression and topographic distribution of the activated MAPK pathways including extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK), c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38 MAPK following traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the cortex of the rat brain. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (300-400 g) were subjected to lateral fluid percussion injury of moderate severity (3.5-4.0 atm) using the Dragonfly device model (no. HPD-1700). Phosphorylated-MAPK protein levels were quantified using Western blot analysis. Topographic distribution of immunoreactivity for phosphorylated-MAPK was examined using immunohistochemistry.

Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathway in Activated Microglial Cells
The present study investigated the effects of

the production of pro-inflammatory mediators in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated cytotoxicity
in rat primary microglial cultures and the BV-2 cell line. KMBK significantly inhibited the LPSinduced
production of nitric oxide (NO) in a concentration-dependent fashion in activated microglial
cells. The mRNA and protein levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxycenase-
2 (COX-2) were also decreased dose-dependently. Furthermore KMBK inhibited the JNK
and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in LPS-stimulated BV-2 microglial cells.
Considering the results obtained, the present study authenticated the potential benefits of KMBK
as a therapeutic target in ameliorating microglia-mediated neuroinflammatory diseases.

Ghrelin exerts a proliferative effect on a rat pituitary
somatotroph cell line via the mitogen-activated protein
kinase pathway
European Journal of Endocrinology (2004) 151 233–240
Objectives: Ghrelin is a brain-gut peptide with GH-releasing and appetite-inducing activities and a
widespread tissue distribution. Ghrelin is the endogenous ligand of the GH secretagogue receptor
type 1a (GHS-R1a), and both ghrelin and the GHS-R1a are expressed in the pituitary. There are conflicting
data regarding the effects of ghrelin on cell proliferation. A positive effect on proliferation and
activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway has been found in hepatoma, adipose,
cardiomyocyte and prostate cell lines. However, ghrelin has also been shown to have antiproliferative
effects on breast, lung and thyroid cell lines. We therefore examined the effect of ghrelin
on the rat pituitary cell line GH3.
Methods: RT-PCR was used for the detection of GHS-R1a and pre-proghrelin mRNA expression in GH3
cells. The effect of ghrelin on cell proliferation was studied using [3H]thymidine incorporation; cell
counting and the activation of the MAPK pathway were studied using immunoblotting and inhibitors
of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK 1/2), protein kinase C (PKC) and tyrosine
phosphatase pathways

BMC Neuroscience
The mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) have been shown to participate in
a wide array of cellular functions. A role for some MAPKs (e.g., extracellular signal-regulated kinase,
Erk1/2) has been documented in response to certain physiological stimuli, such as ischemia, visceral
pain and electroconvulsive shock. We recently demonstrated that restraint stress activates the Erk
MAPK pathway, but not c-Jun-N-terminal kinase/stress-activated protein kinase (JNK/SAPK) or
p38MAPK, in several rat brain regions. In the present study, we investigated the effects of a
different stressor, acute forced swim stress, on the phosphorylation (P) state of these MAPKs in
the hippocampus, neocortex, prefrontal cortex, amygdala and striatum. In addition, effects on the
phosphorylation state of the upstream activators of the MAPKs, their respective MAPK kinases
(MAPKKs; P-MEK1/2, P-MKK4 and P-MKK3/6), were determined. Finally, because the Erk pathway
can activate c-AMP response element (CRE) binding (CREB) protein, and swim stress has recently
been reported to enhance CREB phosphorylation, changes in P-CREB were also examined.
Results: A single 15 min session of forced swimming increased P-Erk2 levels 2–3-fold in the
neocortex, prefrontal cortex and striatum, but not in the hippocampus or amygdala. P-JNK levels
(P-JNK1 and/or P-JNK2/3) were increased in all brain regions about 2–5-fold, whereas P-p38MAPK
levels remained essentially unchanged. Surprisingly, levels of the phosphorylated MAPKKs, P-MEK1/
2 and P-MKK4 (activators of the Erk and JNK pathways, respectively) were increased in all five brain
regions, and much more dramatically (P-MEK1/2, 4.5 to > 100-fold; P-MKK4, 12 to ~300-fold).
Consistent with the lack of forced swim on phosphorylation of p38MAPK, there appeared to be
no change in levels of its activator, P-MKK3/6. P-CREB was increased in all but cortical (prefrontal,
neocortex) areas

The serine–threonine protein kinase Akt has been identified as an important mediator of cell survival
able to counteract apoptotic stimuli. However, hibernation, a model of natural tolerance to cerebral
ischemia, is associated with downregulation of Akt. We previously established a model of ischemic
tolerance in a PC12 cell line and using this model we now addressed the question whether ischemic
tolerance also downregulates Akt in PC12 cells. Kinetic studies showed decreased Akt phosphorylation
in tolerized cells. Similarly, phosphorylated levels of three major targets of Akt and well-known
proapoptotic factors, the glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3), a Forkhead family member, FoxO4,
and the protein murine double minute 2 (MDM2), all inactivated upon phosphorylation by Akt, were
decreased in preconditioned cells
