Follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) play pivotal roles in germinal center (GC) responses in secondary lymphoid follicles, and their functions are influenced by cytokines present in the GC. We investigated the functional effects of interleukin-4 (IL-4) using an established FDC-like line of HK cells. In spite of the activation of ERK1/2 and PI3K/Akt pathways by IL-4, which are implicated in the induction of cell proliferation and survival, IL-4 did not exhibit protective function on anisomycin-induced apoptosis of HK cells, but rather slightly enhanced it. This IL-4 effect correlated with the up-regulation of anisomycin-induced p38 signaling, which is attenuated by inhibition of the PI3K/Akt pathway. Expression of an active form of Akt increased anisomycin-elicited activation of p38 and its upstream kinase MKK3/6. Our data indicate a positive cross-talk between the p38 and PI3K/Akt pathways.

D011500 Protein Synthesis Inhibitors Compounds which inhibit the synthesis of proteins. They are usually ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS or toxins. Mechanism of the action of inhibition includes the interruption of peptide-chain elongation, the blocking the A site of ribosomes, the misreading of the genetic code or the prevention of the attachment of oligosaccharide side chains to glycoproteins. Protein Synthesis Antagonist,Protein Synthesis Antagonists,Protein Synthesis Inhibitor,Antagonist, Protein Synthesis,Antagonists, Protein Synthesis,Inhibitor, Protein Synthesis,Inhibitors, Protein Synthesis,Synthesis Antagonist, Protein,Synthesis Inhibitor, Protein
D011518 Proto-Oncogene Proteins Products of proto-oncogenes. Normally they do not have oncogenic or transforming properties, but are involved in the regulation or differentiation of cell growth. They often have protein kinase activity.

D000841 Anisomycin An antibiotic isolated from various Streptomyces species. It interferes with protein and DNA synthesis by inhibiting peptidyl transferase or the 80S ribosome system. Flagecidin
D014162 Transfection The uptake of naked or purified DNA by CELLS, usually meaning the process as it occurs in eukaryotic cells. It is analogous to bacterial transformation (TRANSFORMATION, BACTERIAL) and both are routinely employed in GENE TRANSFER TECHNIQUES. Transfections
D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.

D015847 Interleukin-4 A soluble factor produced by activated T-LYMPHOCYTES that induces the expression of MHC CLASS II GENES and FC RECEPTORS on B-LYMPHOCYTES and causes their proliferation and differentiation. It also acts on T-lymphocytes, MAST CELLS, and several other hematopoietic lineage cells.

D017209 Apoptosis A regulated cell death mechanism characterized by distinctive morphologic changes in the nucleus and cytoplasm, including the endonucleolytic cleavage of genomic DNA, at regularly spaced, internucleosomal sites, i.e., DNA FRAGMENTATION. It is genetically programmed and serves as a balance to mitosis in regulating the size of animal tissues and in mediating pathologic processes associated with tumor growth.
