1 Treatment of SW626 cells with paclitaxel activates Akt and ERK with different time frames. Paclitaxel mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
2 Interference with the ERK cascade by treatment with an MEK inhibitor, PD98059, in SW626 cells also caused decreased cell viability following treatment with paclitaxel. Paclitaxel mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
3 Our findings suggest that paclitaxel induces the phosphorylation of BAD Ser-112 via the ERK cascade, and the phosphorylation of both BAD Ser-136 and Raf-1 Ser-259 via the PI-3K-Akt cascade, and that inhibition of either of these cascades sensitizes ovarian cancer cells to paclitaxel. Paclitaxel mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
