Application

PD 98,059 has been used:
  • in growth medium as a mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase inhibitor, in order to study the secondary messengers involved in the effect of D1-like receptors
  • in calcium-free RPMI (Roswell park memorial institute)-1640 medium to study its effect on inflammation, proliferation and differentiation in human epidermal keratinocyte cell line in conjunction of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) knockdown
  • in culture medium for cell migration assay

Biochem/physiol Actions

PD 98,059 is a flavonoid and specific inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK). In mice, PD 98,059 helps to block zymosan stimulated organ dysfunction syndrome and non-septic shock. It is known to inhibit in vitro hypertrophy. PD 98,059 also induces cartilage formation in mesenchymal stromal cells.
