Regulation of a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase, MLTK by PKN.

abstract：:The present study was undertaken in an attempt to clarify the pathway by which hyperosmotic stress induces HB-EGF gene expression in rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMC). Hyperosmotic stress induced by a high concentration of glucose or mannitol resulted in an increase in HB-EGF mRNA level in a dose- and time-depend...
