1 Taurine prevents arsenic-induced cardiac oxidative stress and apoptotic damage: role of NF-kappa B, p38 and JNK MAPK pathway. Arsenic mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 Homo sapiens
2 Arsenic also markedly increased the activity of p38 and JNK MAPKs, but not ERK to that extent. Arsenic mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 Homo sapiens
3 Pre-treatment with SP600125 (JNK inhibitor) and SB203580 (p38 MAPK inhibitor) attenuated NF-kappaB and IKK phosphorylation indicating that p38 and JNK MAPKs are mainly involved in arsenic-induced NF-kappaB activation. Arsenic mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 Homo sapiens
4 Taurine treatment suppressed these apoptotic actions, suggesting that its protective role in arsenic-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis is mediated by attenuation of p38 and JNK MAPK signaling pathways. Arsenic mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 Homo sapiens
