Involvement of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathways inStaphylococcus aureusInvasion of Normal Osteoblasts
1 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus invades osteoblasts and can persist in the intracellular environment. The present study examined the role of osteoblast mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways in bacterial invasion. S. aureus infection of normal human and mouse osteoblasts resulted in an increase in the phosphorylation of the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (ERK 1 and 2). This stimulation of ERK 1...
