p38 MAPK

The p38 MAPK family consists of highly conserved proline-directed serine-threonine protein kinases that are activated in response to a number many growth factors, cytokines, and chemotactic substances, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), PDGF, TNF, interleukins, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP). It is well known that p38 is involved in inflammation, apoptosis, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and cell differentiation.

The p38 MAPK family is composed of four proteins: p38α (encoded by the gene Mapk14), p38β (Mapk11), p38γ (Mapk12), and p38δ (Mapk13). Their coding genes have a distinct tissue distribution and they appear differentially expressed, being Mapk14 the most highly expressed. p38 MAPKs are substrates for three MAP2K (MKK6, MKK3, and MKK4). The contribution of each of these MAP2K to p38 MAPKs activation depends on the stimulus and the cell type. The MAP3Ks that lead to p38 MAPKs activation are ASK1, DLK1, TAK1, TAO1, TAO2, TPL2, MLK3, MEKK3, MEKK4, and ZAK1.

    Nickel(II) oxide
    Activator ≥99.0%
    Nickel(II) oxide (nickel monoxide) is a chemical warfare agent that can enter the body through the respiratory tract and other routes, distributing to organs such as the lungs and testes. The nanoparticle form of nickel(II) oxide (NiO NPs) exhibits antibacterial, anti-leishmanial, anti-diabetic, and anti-cancer activities. NiO NPs can be activated by ultraviolet and visible light, generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). Nickel(II) oxide induces oxidative stress by generating reactive oxygen species, activating the TGF-β1-mediated MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways, disrupting the MMPs/TIMPs balance, and upregulating the expression of inflammatory factors (IL-1β, IL-6) and apoptosis-related molecules (Bax, caspase-3, p53), while inhibiting the activity of the anti-apoptotic molecule Bcl-2. Nickel(II) oxide induces cytotoxicity, promotes fibrosis, triggers inflammatory responses, and causes apoptosis. Nickel(II) oxide can be applied in research on the safety assessment of nanomaterials, such as in the context of pulmonary fibrosis and reproductive system toxicity.
