В обзоре представлены современные данные о механизмах инициации, регуляции и выполнении процесса апоптоза нейтрофилов с участием «рецепторов смерти», митохондрий, белков семейства Bcl-2, PI3-K (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase), протеинкиназных каскадов p38 MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase), ERK (extracellular signal regulated kinase) и JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase), протеинкиназ А, В и С, сAMP, белков теплового шока, NF-kB (nuclear factor-kB), кальпаинов, каспаз и их ингибиторов, активных форм кислорода и других факторов. Предложена гипотетическая модель вовлечения апоптотических процессов в регуляцию дифференцировки и реактивности нейтрофилов. This review presented recent data on initiation, regulation, and execution of neutrophil apoptosis with participation of «death receptors», mitochondria, Bcl-2 family proteins, PI3-K (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase), p38 MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase), ERK (extracellular signal regulated kinase) and JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase) cascades, protein kinases A, B and C, сAMP, heat shock proteins, NF-kB (nuclear factor-kB), calpains, caspases and theirs inhibitors, reactive oxygen species, and other factors. A speculative model of the apoptotic processes involvement in the regulation of neutrophil differentiation and reactivity was proposed.

ABSTRACT The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, acting through the downstream kinase MK2, regulates the stability of many proinflammatory mRNAs that contain adenosine/uridine-rich elements (AREs). It is thought to do this by modulating the expression or activity of ARE-binding proteins that regulate mRNA turnover. MK2 phosphorylates the ARE-binding and mRNA-destabilizing protein tristetraprolin (TTP) at serines 52 and 178. Here we show that the p38 MAPK pathway regulates the subcellular localization and stability of TTP protein. A p38 MAPK inhibitor causes rapid dephosphorylation of TTP, relocalization from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, and degradation by the 20S/26S proteasome. Hence, continuous activity of the p38 MAPK pathway is required to maintain the phosphorylation status, cytoplasmic localization, and stability of TTP protein. The regulation of both subcellular localization and protein stability is dependent on MK2 and on the integrity of serines 52 and 178. Furthermore, the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway synergizes with the p38 MAPK pathway to regulate both stability and localization of TTP. This effect is independent of kinases that are known to be synergistically activated by ERK and p38 MAPK. We present a model for the actions of TTP and the p38 MAPK pathway during distinct phases of the inflammatory response.
