Abstract excerpt
Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) controls cell proliferation positively or negatively depending on the cellular contexts in which ERK is activated. In this report, we address differential roles of transient and constitutive activation of ERK in cell survival. Under a basal culture condition, mesangial cells showed modest, sustained ERK activity. The activity of ERK was transiently upregulated (15-60...
