1 Piceatannol induces Fas and FasL up-regulation in human leukemia U937 cells via Ca2+/p38alpha MAPK-mediated activation of c-Jun and ATF-2 pathways. 3,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 Homo sapiens
2 Piceatannol-induced apoptotic death of human leukemia U937 cells was characterized by increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i), ERK inactivation, p38 MPAK activation, degradation of procaspase-8 and production of t-Bid. 3,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 Homo sapiens
3 Abolition of piceatannol-induced increase in [Ca(2+)]i abrogated p38 MAPK activation and up-regulation of Fas and FasL expression, but restored ERK activation and viability of piceatannol-treated cells. 3,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 Homo sapiens
4 Suppression of p38alpha MAPK or transfection of constitutively active MEK1 abolished piceatannol-induced Fas and FasL up-regulation. 3,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 Homo sapiens
5 Piceatannol treatment repressed ERK-mediated c-Fos phosphorylation but evoked p38alpha MAPK-mediated c-Jun and ATF-2 phosphorylation. 3,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 Homo sapiens
6 Taken together, our data indicate that Fas/FasL up-regulation in piceatannol-treated U937 cells is elicited by Ca(2+)/p38alpha MAPK-mediated activation of c-Jun and ATF-2, and suggest that autocrine Fas-mediated apoptotic mechanism is involved in piceatannol-induced cell death. 3,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 Homo sapiens
