Disease relevance of Dusp6

  • The neuroprotective effect of the MKP3 C293S mutant, which enhances ERK1/2 phosphorylation but blocks its nuclear translocation, demonstrates the necessity for active ERK1/2 nuclear localization for oxidative toxicity in neurons [1].
 

High impact information on Dusp6

 

Biological context of Dusp6

  • Despite the presence of MKP-3, ERK activity can be further stimulated by NGF, but it fails to translocate into the nucleus and consequently to induce immediate-early gene transcription [6].
  • These results suggest that MKP-1 and MKP-3 may be involved in the early steps of apoptosis in vivo in rat olfactory neuroepithelium [7].
 

Associations of Dusp6 with chemical compounds

  • Consistent with a role mediating inhibition of PC12 cell MAP kinases, NGF-stimulated ERK2 activation was suppressed considerably following pretreatment with fibroblast growth factor and 9-cis-retinal, two additional differentiation factors found to induce powerfully MKP-3 expression [5].
  • We have studied expression of four DS-PTPs (MKP-1, MKP-X, MKP-3 and B23) in rat brain and examined changes during post-natal development and following kainic acid induced seizure activity [8].
  • Following kainate treatment, MKP-1, MKP-3 and B23 all exhibit striking changes in expression within hippocampal subfields CA1-3 and dentate gyrus [8].
 

Other interactions of Dusp6

  • Given the clear cytosolic localization of MKP3 in PC12 cells and sympathetic neurons, these results suggest a critical role for inactivating ERK MAP kinases in non-nuclear compartments during essential stages of NGF-mediated PC12 differentiation [5].
  • Induction of the mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase MKP3 by nerve growth factor in differentiating PC12 [5].
  • The sequence of these 23 individual clones revealed that two clones were identical to the rat dsPTP, MKP-3, and the other 21 clones were identical to the rat dsPTP, MKP-1 [7].
  • We have now employed cDNA representational difference analysis to identify four genes (activity-regulated cytoskeletal protein, collagenase 1, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and VH6/MKP-3) as genes preferentially induced withing 4 hours by NGF in PC12 cells [9].
