Popis: The inhibitory effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors including tyrphostins 25, 47 and 51 on Shiga toxin 1-induced cell death and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) phosphorylation were examined in Vero cells. Tyrphostin 47 significantly inhibited Shiga toxin 1-induced cell death and p38 MAPK phosphorylation. In contrast, tyrphostins 25 and 51 had no significant effect on the Shiga toxin 1-induced responses. These data indicate that Shiga toxin 1-induced cell injury occurs through a pathway sensitive to tyrphostin 47, and the target molecule for tyrphostin 47 opens up new opportunities for pharmacological intervention against Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli infectious diseases.
