MITOGEN‐AC<strong>TI</strong>VATED PROTEIN KINASES (MAPKs) IN TRAIL‐SIGNALING<br />
MAPKs are enzymes that control important physiological processes, such as gene<br />
expression, motility, metabolism, mitosis, and programmed cell <strong>death</strong>. In mammals six<br />
distinct groups of MAPKs have been characterized, extracellular regulated kinases<br />
(ERK1/2), Jun NH2 terminal kinases (JNK1/2/3), p38 (p38 α/β/γ/δ), ERK7/8, ERK3/4 and<br />
ERK5 [54]. TRAIL can activate JNK, p38 and ERK1/2 in several cancer cell lines with dual<br />
effects but mostly contributing to cell proliferation and pro‐survival signalling, as outlined<br />
further below.<br />
c‐Jun N‐terminal kinases (JNKs)<br />
The JNKs are stress‐activated members of the MAP kinase family that can be activated by<br />
TRAIL via both caspase‐dependent and ‐independent mechanisms in a cell type‐specific<br />
way [55]. FADD appeared to be dispensable <strong>for</strong> JNK activation. In lymphoid cells, JNK<br />
pathway activation by TRAIL contributed to apoptosis activation [56]. JNK activation<br />
involved a TRAF2‐MEKK1‐MKK4‐dependent signaling pathway in human embryonic kidney<br />
293 cells [57] and required RIP1 in prostate cancer cells [58]. Both TRAF2 and RIP1 were<br />
detected in the secondary complex and were required <strong>for</strong> JNK activation in fibrosarcoma<br />
cells [38]. JNK activation results in phosphorylation of its well‐known target the<br />
transcription factor c‐Jun/ AP1, but can also directly phosphorylate the pro‐apoptotic Bcl‐<br />
2 family member Bim in hepatocytes, thereby stabilizing the protein and facilitating<br />
mitochondrial apoptosis [59]. A role <strong>for</strong> JNK and Bim has also been found in the activation<br />
