Cell Cycle Regulation: MAPK pathways control cell cycle progression and proliferation. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are a family of protein kinases that play a crucial role in cellular signaling pathways, particularly in the regulation of various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and survival. The MAPK family has been studied extensively; however, the role of these kinases in cell growth and cell-cycle control has become increasingly complex. Patterns have begun to emerge from these studies that show the functions of MAPK subfamilies at different stages of the cell cycle.

Mitogen signaling strength and duration can control cell cycle ... Biology Diagrams

Activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade is critical in the control of cellular growth by mitogenic signals in many different cell systems, including those received by tyrosine kinase, G protein-coupled and cytokine receptors, as reviewed in ref. 1.Introduction of dominant-negative forms of MAPK or MAPKK blocks quiescent cells from entering the cell cycle in response Decades ago, mitogen-promoted signaling duration and strength were observed to be sensed by the cell and to be critical for its decisions: to proliferate or differentiate. Landmark publications established the importance of mitogen signaling not only in the G 1 cell cycle phase but also through the S and the G 2 /M transition. Despite these

Cancer is a multistep process resulting from abrogation of several barriers to uncontrolled proliferation. One of these barriers is formed by the retinoblastoma protein family that prevents cells from undesired replication of DNA. We have identified a cell cycle barrier that prevents unbalanced cell division of mitogen-starved cells that have passed the restriction point. We show that loss of As to the cell cycle progression through the restriction zone, data suggest a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) activity threshold. G 2 /M transition and that the level of its activity affects the kinetics through both the G 1 and G 2 phases, indicating a role for mitogen signaling in the progression from G 2 to mitosis.
