1 To explain the mechanistic basis of this divergence, we searched for differences in the kinetics of phosphorylation and/or in the subcellular localization of ERKs in response to 17beta-estradiol in the two cell types. Estradiol mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
2 In contrast to its transient effect on ERK phosphorylation in osteocytic cells (return to base line by 30 min), 17beta-estradiol-induced ERK phosphorylation in osteoclasts was sustained for at least 24 h following exposure to the hormone. Estradiol mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
3 In contrast to its transient effect on ERK phosphorylation in osteocytic cells (return to base line by 30 min), 17beta-estradiol-induced ERK phosphorylation in osteoclasts was sustained for at least 24 h following exposure to the hormone. Estradiol mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
4 Conversion of sustained ERK phosphorylation to transient, by means of cholera toxin-induced activation of the adenylate cyclase/cAMP/protein kinase A pathway, abrogated the pro-apoptotic effect of 17beta-estradiol on osteoclasts. Estradiol mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
5 Conversely, prolongation of ERK activation in osteocytes, by means of leptomycin B-induced inhibition of ERK export from the nucleus or overexpression of a green fluorescent protein-ERK2 mutant that resides permanently in the nucleus, converted the anti-apoptotic effect of 17beta-estradiol to a pro-apoptotic one. Estradiol mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
