1 Mevastatin induces apoptosis in HL60 cells dependently on decrease in phosphorylated ERK. mevastatin mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
2 When we examined the survival signals at the time of apoptotic induction, we also observed that the administration of mevastatin had caused a remarkable decrease in the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2). mevastatin mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
3 These results suggested that mevastatin induced apoptosis when it inhibited GGPP biosynthesis and consequently decreased the level of phosphorylated ERK, which was a survival signal; moreover, at that time, there was no influence on NF-kappaB, Akt, p38, and Bcl-2. mevastatin mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
