MAPK4 — SMC3
Text-mined interactions from Literome
Khan et al., J Biol Chem 2004
(MAP Kinase Signaling System) :
Here we demonstrate that macrophage engagement of
SMC-ECM triggers PKC dependent activation of
MAPK ( erk1/2 ) leading to increased expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and prostaglandin ( PG ) E ( 2 ) synthesis
Hu et al., Heart Lung Circ 2002
:
Suramin
inhibited SMC migration and proliferation in vivo and in vitro by blocking platelet derived growth factor ( PDGF ) -initiated PDGF receptor activation and
MAPK-AP-1 signalling, and was also effective in inhibition of neointima hyperplasia in mouse vein bypass grafts
Butoi et al., Biochim Biophys Acta 2011
:
Monocyte-SMC interaction
induced the phosphorylation of
p38MAPK and activation of AP-1 transcription factor
Nelson et al., J Vasc Surg 1998
:
MAPK activity is
essential for both
SMC migration and proliferation, and distinct phases of enzyme activation are required to stimulate these two discrete cellular events
