Upregulation of the MAP2K4 gene triggers endothelial-mesenchymal transition in COVID-19.
Yilmaz E, Yilmaz D, Yildiz CG, Cacan E
Background: SARS-CoV-2 infection is marked by an excessive inflammatory response, leading to elevated production of pro-inflammatory cytokines through activation of intracellular pathways like mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Viruses can use the MAPK signaling pathway to their advantage, but the relationship of this pathway to the severe SARS-CoV-2 period has not been fully elucidated. MAP2K4 is involved in the MAPK signaling pathway and affects cellular processes such as cell-cell junct...
