1 | Dexmedetomidine-induced contraction involves phosphorylation of caldesmon by JNK in endothelium-denuded rat aortas. | Dexmedetomidine | mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 | Rattus norvegicus |
2 | The effects of GF109203X (a PKC inhibitor) on DMT- or PDBu-induced JNK phosphorylation in VSMCs were assessed. | Dexmedetomidine | mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 | Rattus norvegicus |
3 | Additionally, PDBu induced caldesmon phosphorylation, and GF109203X attenuated the JNK phosphorylation induced by DMT or PDBu. | Dexmedetomidine | mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 | Rattus norvegicus |
4 | These results suggest that alpha-2 adrenoceptor-mediated, DMT-induced contraction involves caldesmon phosphorylation that is mediated by JNK phosphorylation by PKC. | Dexmedetomidine | mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 | Rattus norvegicus |
