Extracellular signal-related kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) are the final components of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation cascade, an integral module in a diverse array signalling pathways for shaping cell behaviour fate. More recently, studies have shown that ERK1/2 plays essential role downstream immune receptors to elicit inflammatory gene expression response infection or tissue damage. Much this work has studied activation Toll-like receptor (TLR) pathways, providing mechanistic insights into its recruitment, compartmentalisation cells innate system. In review, we summarise typical growth factor before discussing known roles with focus TLRs. We examine emerging research uncovering evidence dysfunctional diseases discuss potential therapeutic benefit targeting inflammation.

Abstract Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent regulated cell death driven by excessive lipid peroxidation. Inflammation one common and effective physiological event that protects against various stimuli to maintain tissue homeostasis. However, the dysregulation of inflammatory responses can cause imbalance immune system, dysfunction death. Recent studies have pointed out activation inflammation, including multiple inflammation-related signaling pathways, lead ferroptosis. Among related signal transduction we focused on five classical namely, JAK-STAT, NF-κB, inflammasome, cGAS-STING MAPK expounded their roles in To date, many agents shown therapeutic effects ferroptosis-related diseases modulating aforementioned pathways vivo vitro. Moreover, regulatory these iron metabolism peroxidation been described detail, contributing further understanding pathophysiological process Taken together, targeting inflammation will provide appropriate ways intervene ferroptosis diseases.

Inflammation is a fundamental defensive response to harmful stimuli, but the overactivation of inflammatory responses associated with most human diseases. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are class chemicals that generated after incomplete reduction molecular oxygen. At moderate levels, ROS function as critical signaling molecules in modulation various physiological functions, including responses. However, at excessive exert toxic effects and directly oxidize biological macromolecules, such proteins, nucleic acids lipids, further exacerbating development causing Therefore, designing manufacturing biomaterials scavenge has emerged an important approach for restoring homeostasis, limiting protecting host against damage. This review systematically outlines dynamic balance production clearance under conditions. We focus on mechanisms by which regulate cell proteins how these affect inflammation. Furthermore, we discuss use potential currently available-biomaterials ROS, agents were engineered reduce levels blocking generation, chemically reacting or catalytically accelerating clearance, treatment Finally, evaluate challenges prospects controlled material design scavenging biomaterials.

Cerebral ischemic stroke is characterized by acute ischemia in a certain part of the brain, which leads to brain cells necrosis, apoptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, etc. At present, there are limited effective clinical treatments for cerebral stroke, and recovery blood circulation will lead ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI). involves many pathological processes such as oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related 2 (Nrf2), one most critical antioxidant transcription factors cells, can coordinate various cytoprotective inhibit stress. Targeting Nrf2 considered potential strategy prevent treat injury. During ischemia, participates signaling pathways Keap1, PI3K/AKT, MAPK, NF-κB, HO-1, then alleviates or CIRI inhibiting anti-inflammation, maintaining homeostasis, protecting blood–brain barrier, ferroptosis. In this review, we have discussed structure Nrf2, mechanisms related research on treatment through pathway recent years, expounded important role future stroke.

The cardiac microvascular reperfusion injury is characterized by the endothelial cells (CMECs) oxidative damage which responsible for progression of dysfunction. However, few strategies are available to reverse such pathologies. This study aimed explore mechanism stress induced CMECs death and beneficial actions melatonin on survival, with a special focused IP3R-[Ca2+]c/VDAC-[Ca2+]m axis MAPK/ERK survival signaling. We found that H2O2 significantly activated cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) enhanced IP3R VDAC transcription expression, leading [Ca2+]c [Ca2+]m overload. High concentration suppressed ΔΨm, opened mPTP, released cyt-c into cytoplasm where it mitochondria-dependent pathway. could protect against via stimulation inactivated CREB therefore blocked IP3R/VDAC upregulation [Ca2+]c/[Ca2+]m overload, sustaining mitochondrial structural function integrity ultimately blockading mitochondrial-mediated cellular death. In summary, these findings confirmed mechanisms mitochondrial-involved provided an attractive effective way enhance survival.
