Disease relevance of EPHB2

 

Psychiatry related information on EPHB2

  • While we previously demonstrated that ERK is activated in Alzheimer's disease, the upstream cascade leading to its activation had not been fully examined [4].
  • Drug addiction results in part from the distortion of dopamine-controlled plasticity, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) plays an important role in the underlying molecular mechanisms of this process [5].
  • At least in this study, a life style of physical activity appeared to play a more dominant role in determining SRT, DRT, and MT than age [6].
  • The SRT, DRT, and MT of older men (OA) who have experienced a life style of chronic physical activity were compared to those of nonactive men of similar age (ONA), and also to active (YA) and nonactive young men (YNA) [6].
  • Cross-sectional analyses revealed slowing of simple (SRT) and relatively greater slowing of disjunctive (DRT; aka "go-no-go") reaction time across decades for both males and females [7].
 

High impact information on EPHB2

  • Inhibition of ERK activation partially inhibits T48 phosphorylation, Cdc25C activation, and mitotic induction [8].
  • This approach enabled us to identify previously unknown mutations in the receptor tyrosine kinase gene EPHB2 [1].
  • Transfection of DU 145 cells, which lack functional EphB2, with wild-type EPHB2 suppresses clonogenic growth [1].
  • Transactivation joins multiple tracks to the ERK/MAPK cascade [9].
  • This pathway is responsible for several of the effects of SDF-1alpha on T cells, including prolonged ERK MAP kinase activity, increased intracellular calcium ion concentrations, robust AP-1 transcriptional activity, and SDF-1alpha costimulation of cytokine secretion [10].

Anatomical context of EPHB2

 

Associations of EPHB2 with chemical compounds

  • The EPHB2v protein lacks one arginine residue that resides immediately following the EPHB2 transmembrane domain [2].
  • Certain studies report sequential activation of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) and p38/ERK pathways by platelet agonists, leading to integrin activation and secretion, whereas others establish an essential role of Src/ERK-mediated TxA(2) generation for fibrinogen receptor activation in human platelets [17].
  • A reduction in the downstream signalling effector phosphorylated ERK was seen in both resistant cell lines when GW282974A was used in combination with either cisplatin or paclitaxel [18].
  • Enamel Matrix Derivative Stimulates Human Gingival Fibroblast Proliferation via ERK [15].
  • The increased expression of Egr-1 and Bcl-2 by isoflurane was inhibited by ERK inhibition [12].
 

Regulatory relationships of EPHB2

  • Cotreatment with the Rho kinase inhibitors Y-27632 and H1152 attenuated the CaR-induced morphological change but not intracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+(i)) mobilization or ERK activation, although transfection with a dominant-negative RhoA-binding protein also inhibited calcimimetic-induced actin stress fiber assembly [19].
  • Neuroprotection was due to the inhibition of NMDA-induced apoptosis through ERK activation [20].
 

Other interactions of EPHB2

  • CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that not only the expression of EPHB2, but the expression of its ligand EFNB1 may have some relation with the oncogenesis of gastric cancer [3].
  • Expression profile of EFNB1, EFNB2, two ligands of EPHB2 in human gastric cancer [3].
  • This effect was partially reduced by PKG inhibition and completely abolished by PKA inhibition.We conclude that sildenafil exerts an antiproliferative effect on human PASMC that is mediated by an interaction between the cGMP-PKG and the cAMP-PKA activated pathways, leading to inhibition of PDGF-mediated activation of the ERK [21].
  • Association among EPHB2, TrkA, and MYCN expression in low-stage neuroblastomas [22].
  • OBJECTIVE: The RYK, EPHB2, and EPHB3 genes are attractive candidates for cleft lip and/or palate and cleft palate only pathogenesis [23].
