1 Induction of apoptosis by esculetin in human leukemia U937 cells through activation of JNK and ERK. esculetin mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
2 Furthermore, esculetin selectively increased the phosphorylation of extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), but not that of other kinases such as Akt and p38 activation. esculetin mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
3 Furthermore, esculetin selectively increased the phosphorylation of extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), but not that of other kinases such as Akt and p38 activation. esculetin mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
4 In addition, an ERK-specific inhibitor, PD98059, and a JNK-specific inhibitor, SP600125, showed inhibited sub-G1 phase DNA content, DNA fragmentation, caspase activation, and mitochondrial dysfunction induced by esculetin treatment. esculetin mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
5 These results indicated that the JNK and ERK pathways were key regulators of apoptosis in response to esculetin in human leukemia U937 cells. esculetin mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
