Dual specificity phosphatase (DUSP)-4 is induced by platelet-derived growth factor -BB in an Erk1/2-, STAT3- and p53-dependent manner
2019
Abstract Dual specificity phosphatase (DUSP) 4 has been described as a negative regulator of MAP kinase signaling, in particular for the ERK1/2 and JNK pathways. We found that DUSP4 expression was upregulated in response to prolonged platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB stimulation. The PDGF-BB-induced DUSP4 expression was dependent on ERK1/2, STAT3 and p53. We found that inhibition of ERK1/2 effectively reduced DUSP4 mRNA levels, whereas STAT3 was necessary for maintaining p53 expression. p53 has binding sites in the DUSP4 promoter and was found to promote DUSP4 expression.
