11689073 Shao L, Lewin NE, Lorenzo PS, Hu Z, Enyedy IJ, Garfield SH, Stone JC, Marner FJ, Blumberg PM, Wang S: Iridals are a novel class of ligands for phorbol ester receptors with modest selectivity for the RasGRP receptor subfamily. J Med Chem. 2001 Nov 8;44(23):3872-80.


Both compounds caused translocation of green fluorescent protein tagged RasGRP3 expressed in HEK293 cells, and both compounds induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2, a downstream indicator of Ras activation, in a RasGRP3-dependent fashion.

Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2009 Nov 1;180(9):834-45. Epub 2009 Aug 6.


Previously, we reported that acrolein levels found in COPD sputum could activate matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9).

Acrolein increased hMMP9 transcripts in human airway cells, which was inhibited by an MMP inhibitor, EGFR-neutralizing antibody, or a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) 3/2 inhibitor.

In contrast, acrolein increased MUC5AC mRNA levels by phosphorylating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and mitogen-activated protein kinase 3/2, or MAPK 3/2 (ERK1/2).

While all three MAPKs exhibit significant activation within 5 min of exposure to acrolein, maximum activation (ERK1/2 and p38MAPK) or close to maximum activation (SAPK/JNK) occurs on exposure to 5 microg/ml acrolein for 2 h.

Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol. 2009 May;296(5):L839-48. Epub 2009 Mar 13.

IL-8 release elicited by both acrolein and CSE was blocked by pharmacological inhibition of p38 and ERK1/2 phosphorylation.
