“…21,22,24 Increases in the expression of HO-1, BMP-2, BMP-7, and Runx-2 resulting from treatment with LPS and MS were attenuated by preincubation with selective inhibitors of p38, ERK, PI3K, PKG, and NF-kB (SB203580, U0126, LY294002, KT5823, and PDTC, respectively). These results suggest that LPS-induced and MS-induced HO-1 and BMP expression occurs via the activation of p38, ERK MAPK, PI3K, PKG, and NF-kB.…”
