Selective activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway fails to elicit Bax activation or apoptosis unless the phosphoinositide 3'-kinase (PI3K) pathway is inhibited.

Abstract excerpt

c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is activated when cells are exposed to noxious stimuli. The role of JNK in apoptosis is subject to considerable debate; for example, JNK activation may promote or inhibit apoptosis depending on the cell type and stimulus involved. These conflicting results have arise...
