Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are involved in vascular wall remodeling, but their role in the pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) is poorly known. We investigated the expression and phosphorylation of the 3 major mitogen-activated protein kinases, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase, in unruptured and ruptured human IAs.
