摘要: Extracellular signal regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) regulate cellular responses to a variety of extracellular stimuli. In the nervous system, ERK1/2 is critical for neuronal differentiation, plasticity may also modulate survival. this minireview, we present evidence that supports prosurvival activity in neurons. Several reports suggest mediates neuroprotective factors, including neurotrophins. addition, activated by injury. damaged cells, activation act as defensive mechanism helps compensate deleterious effects damaging insult. The emerging mechanisms ERK1/2-mediated neuroprotection involve transcriptional regulation and/or direct inhibition cell death machinery.
