Abstract excerpt
Septic plasma can convert murine cardiac myocytes to a proinflammatory phenotype. These myocytes 1) have increased nuclear levels of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), 2) release CXC chemokines, and 3) promote polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) transendothelial migration. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the role of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases [p38 MAP kinase, extracellular...
