Biological Activity for PD 98059

PD 98059 is an inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MKK / MEK). Acts by binding to the inactivated form of MEK, thereby preventing its phosphorylation by cRAF or MEK kinase (IC50 = 2-7 μM). Inhibits cell growth and proliferation in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) cell lines; causes G1 arrest by blocking p53-dependent p21 induction. Enhances embryonic stem cell self-renewal.

PD 98059 treatment.
By Xiaoyu Zhang on 02/07/2024

PD 98059 abrogated the LPA induced phosphorylation of AMPK..
By lisha joshi on 06/18/2019
Assay Type: In Vitro
Species: Mouse
Cell Line/Tissue: BV2 microglia cells

We investigate the effect of LPA on microglia metabolic states. Trying to unravel possible pathways that maybe involved in this process, we used inhibitors of MAPKs pathway. Inhibition of ERK (PD 98059; 10µM) decreased the LPA induced activation of pAMPK (among other proteins).

The role of ERK pathway in LPA induced pro-inflammatory phenotype in microglia cells.
By Joanna Plastira on 06/08/2019
Assay Type: In Vitro
Species: Mouse
Cell Line/Tissue: Primary murine microglia cells

The role of MAPK pathways (JNK, p38 and ERK) was studied in the LPA induced pro-inflammatory phenotype in microglia. In this case cells were incubated for the indicated time points with LPA (1µM) in the presence or absence of PD98059 (10µM) or PD184352 (10µM). A series of assays were performed. Inhibition of ERK pathway didn't seem to play a role in the LPA induced phenotype (here presented: pp65).

PD 98059 inhibits 15d-PGJ2 induced pp42/44 expression.
By Chintan Koyani on 10/13/2018
Assay Type: In Vitro
Species: Mouse
Cell Line/Tissue: HL-1 cardiomyocytes

HL-1 cells were incubated with p38 MAPK inhibitor (10 µM SB203580, 25 µMPD169316) or p42/44 MAPK kinase inhibitor (25 µM PD98059) for 30 min prior to 15dPGJ2 treatment (15 µM, 1 h). Immunoreactive bands for pp38 and pp42/44 MAPK expressions were followed by Western blot. PD98059 completely inhibited 15d-PGJ2 induced p42/44 phosphorylation (shown in Image).
