Abstract

The mammalian family of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) includes extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38, and c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK), with each MAPK signaling pathway consisting of at least three components, a MAPK kinase kinase (MAP3K), a MAPK kinase (MAP2K), and a MAPK. The MAPK pathways are activated by diverse extracellular and intracellular stimuli including peptide growth factors, cytokines, hormones, and various cellular stressors such as oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress. These signaling pathways regulate a variety of cellular activities including proliferation, differentiation, survival, and death. Deviation from the strict control of MAPK signaling pathways has been implicated in the development of many human diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and various types of cancers. Persistent activation of the JNK or p38 signaling pathways has been suggested to mediate neuronal apoptosis in AD, PD, and ALS, whereas the ERK signaling pathway plays a key role in several steps of tumorigenesis including cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. In this review, we summarize recent findings on the roles of MAPK signaling pathways in human disorders, focusing on cancer and neurodegenerative diseases including AD, PD, and ALS.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • More than 20 serine/threonine kinases are reported to phosphorylate tau in vitro, including GSK-3β, Cdk5, MARK1-4, ERK, p38α MAPK, and JNK.

    “In fact, there are currently more than 20 serine/threonine kinases reported to phosphorylate tau in vitro: glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3β), cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5), microtubule affinity regulating kinase 1–4 (MARK1–MAPK4), extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK), p38 mitogen-associated protein kinase alpha (p38α MAPK), and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) are the best examples [19”

    From Selective suppression of the α isoform of p38 MAPK rescues late-stage tau pathology (2016) · cites this paper as [21]

    Section 2.1 (Alzheimer’s disease; page not provided) says that JNK, p38, and ERK mediate tau phosphorylation. It does not give a count of more than 20 kinases, specify in-vitro evidence, or identify GSK-3β, Cdk5, MARK1–4, or specifically p38α as tau kinases. (LLM, conf=0.88)

  • Multilevel proteomic analyses suggest activation of MAP kinase signaling implicated in AD pathogenesis.

    “Collectively, these multilevel proteomic analyses suggest the activation of MAP kinase signaling that is implicated in AD pathogenesis (Kim and Choi, 2010).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
