Distinct roles for JNK1 and JNK2 in regulating JNK activity and c-Jun-dependent cell proliferation

Abstract

Different c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) are activated by a plethora of signals and phosphorylate substrates such as c-Jun, which is required for efficient cell cycle progression. Although JNK1 and JNK2 were shown to differentially regulate fibroblast proliferation, the underlying mechanistic basis remains unclear. We found that Jnk2-/- fibroblasts exit G1 and enter S phase earlier than wild-type counterparts, while Jnk1-/- cells show the inverse phenotype. Moreover, Jnk2-/- erythroblasts also exhibit a proliferative advantage. JNK2 deficiency results in elevated c-Jun phosphorylation and stability, whereas the absence of JNK1 reduces c-Jun phosphorylation and stability. Re-expression of JNK2 in Jnk2-/- cells reverses the JNK2 null phenotype, whereas ectopic expression of JNK1 augments it. JNK2 is preferentially bound to c-Jun in unstimulated cells, thereby contributing to c-Jun degradation. In contrast, JNK1 becomes the major c-Jun interacting kinase after cell stimulation. These data provide mechanistic insights into the distinct roles of different JNK isoforms.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
