We have reported that endothelin-1 (ET-1) activates p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase through protein kinase C in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells, and that p38 MAP kinase plays a role in the ET-1-induced heat shock protein 27 (HSP27). Recently, we found that stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK) is activated by ET-1 in these cells. In the present study, we have investigated the involvement of SAPK/JNK in ET-1-induced HSP27 in MC3T3-E1 cells.
