The role of p38 MAPK signaling 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 SB239063 (10µM) or SB203580 (10µM). A series of assays were performed. p38 MAPK inhibition totally decreased the expression of 4 pro-inflammatory transcription factors (here presented: pp65). Both inhibitors worked nicely and the results were consistent.

MAPK Signaling Scientific Review
MAP kinase signaling is integral to the regulation of numerous cellular processes such as proliferation and differentiation, and as a result is an important focus of cancer and immunology research. Updated for 2016, this review discusses the regulation of the MAPK pathway and properties of MAPK cascades. Compounds available from Tocris are listed.
