Abstract:The chimeric protein Bcr/Abl has been connected to several signalling pathways such as AKT, JNK or ERK1/2. Here, we present evidence showing that Bcr/Abl is able to modulate the p38 MAPK pathway. Transient transfection experiments indicated that over-expression of Bcr/Abl in 293T is able to activate p38 MAPK or induce p73 stabilization, suggesting that c-Abl and Bcr/Abl share some biological substrates. Interestingly, the control exerted by Bcr/Abl on the p38 MAPK pathway was not only mediated by the tyrosine … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
