"Binding of ligands to RAGE leads to activation of multiple signaling pathways, including signaling pathways involved in the production of reactive oxygen species, Ras mediated extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), Akt, stress activated protein kinase and c-Jun-NH 2-terminal kinase (SAPK and JNK), p38 MAP kinase, small GTPase Cdc42 and Rac1, and NFkappaB and AP-1 transcription factors XREF_BIBR -."
reach
"FSH control of granulosa cell differentiation and function is known to involve activation of Src, Fyn and Abl kinases, and inhibitor studies have demonstrated that the Src family kinases are required for transient Ras activation that, in turn, leads to extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 activation and stimulation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway in granulosa cells."
reach
"In various cell types activation of Ras leads to activation of the mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs), extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), and protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt, which exert opposing effects on adipogenesis, with ERK1/2 inhibiting and PKB and Akt promoting terminal differentiation."

"The CAM-dependent step in the Erk1/2 activation cascade is downstream of Ras activation, because inhibitors of CAM antagonize Erk1/2 activation induced by constitutively activated mutants of Ras and c-Src but not by constitutively activated mutants of Raf and MEK (mitogen and extracellular signal-regulated kinase)."
reach
"A dominant negative form of RHAMMv4 inhibits mutant active Ras activation of ERK and coimmunoprecipitates with both mitogen activated protein kinase kinase and ERK, suggesting that the intracellular RHAMMv4 acts downstream of Ras, possibly at the level of mitogen activated protein kinase kinase-ERK interactions."
reach
"For example, the ERK MAPKs are activated by a Ras dependent pathway in response to many growth factors and hormones [XREF_BIBR], whereas the SAPK and JNK and p38 MAPKs are activated by environmental stresses, such as, UV radiation, osmotic shock, heat shock, protein synthesis inhibitors, LPS, and by proinflammatory cytokines, such as, IL-1 and TNF [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR]."

"The BRAF V600E mutation is a well-accepted poor prognostic factor in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), as it confers Ras-independent stimulation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway involved in proliferation, migration, angiogenesis and the suppression of apoptosis."
reach
"Overexpression of NRX selectively suppresses the Wnt-beta-catenin pathway and ablation of NRX by RNA-interference (RNAi) results in activation of TCF, accelerated cell proliferation and enhancement of oncogenicity through cooperation with mitogen activated extracellular signal regulated kinase kinase (MEK) or Ras."

"Our results revealed that the Hippo-ERK network (shown in XREF_FIG) frequently displays biphasic behaviours (e.g., Akt induces biphasic (concave-down and -up) responses of ERK activity, and Ras induces biphasic responses of both ERK and MST2 activities) but interestingly it does not possess the IFF network motif explicitly."

"Our study demonstrates that RasGRP3, a regulator of both Ras and Rap1, negatively regulates the production of proinflammatory cytokines (especially IL-6) by activating Rap1 and inhibiting ERK1/2 activation in response to low levels of TLR agonists, which may serve as an early regulatory machinery to limit inflammatory response of macrophages to feeble infection."

"In Bam32 deficient CD4 + T cells, it has been shown that TCR stimulated ERK phosphorylation depends both on Ras dependent and Bam32 dependent (but Ras independent) signaling pathways [XREF_BIBR], because overexpression of dominant negative Ras (dnRas) or Bam32 deletion leads to similar reductions in TCR stimulated ERK activation."

"Transient expression of the dominant negative H-Ras significantly suppressed ERK activation by full-length CD40, but marginally suppressed ERK activation by CD40 delta 246, compatible with the possibility that TRAF6 is a major transducer of ERK activation by CD40 delta 246, whose activity is mediated by a Ras independent pathway."

"PDGF receptor mediated signalling in this cell background is characterized by saturation of both Ras and PI3K activation at submaximal receptor ligation (spare receptor effect); therefore, if it were the case that FGF receptors access Ras dependent signalling with equal or less potency, co-stimulation with both ligands would fail to activate MEK and ERK beyond the maximum level stimulated by PDGF."

"Thus, the biphasic response of ERK can be explained by splitting it into 2 phases as depicted in XREF_FIG g : low Ras upregulates ERK (Phase I), but as Ras level continues to rise, Akt is activated leading to accumulated inactive MST2 which subsequently sequesters Raf-1 into the complexes and inhibits its activation (Phase II)."
