Abstract

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are important players in the overall representation of cellular signal transduction pathways, and the deregulation of MAPKs is involved in a variety of diseases. The activation of MAPK signals occurs through phosphorylation by MAPK kinases at conserved threonine and tyrosine (Thr-Xaa-Tyr) residues. The mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatases (MKPs) are a major part of the dual-specificity family of phosphatases and specifically inactivate MAPKs by dephosphorylating both phosphotyrosine and phosphoserine/phosphothreonine residues within the one substrate. MAPKs binding to MKPs can enhance MKP stablility and activity, providing an important negative-feedback control mechanism that limits the MAPK cascades. In recent years, accumulating and compelling evidence from studies mainly employing cultured cells and mouse models has suggested that the archetypal MKP family member, MKP-1, plays a pivotal role in cardiovascular disease as a major negative modulator of MAPK signaling pathways. In the present review, we summarize the current knowledge on the pathological properties and the regulation of MKP-1 in cardiovascular disease, which may provide valuable therapeutic options.
