BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is a ubiquitous serine-threonine protein kinase that participates in a multitude of cellular processes and has recently been implicated in the pathophysiology of a number of diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of GSK-3beta inhibition in a model of acute inflammation. Here, we have investigated the effects of TDZD-8, a potent and selective GSK-3beta inhibitor, in a mouse model of carrageenan-induced pleurisy… 

Inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3β attenuates acute kidney injury in sodium taurocholate‑induced severe acute pancreatitis in rats.

The inhibition of GSK‑3β attenuates renal disorders associated with SAP through the inhibition of NF‑κB activation and the downregulation of the expression of proinflammatory cytokines, TNF‑α, ICAM‑1 and iNOS in rats.

Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Inhibition Protects the Heart From Acute Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Via Inhibition of Inflammation and Apoptosis

Investigation of the roles of inflammation and apoptosis induced by ischemia-reperfusion in the cardioprotection by GSK-3β inhibitor 4-benzyl-2-methyl-1, 2, 4-thiadiazolidine-3, 5-dione finds blocking this protein kinase activity may be a novel approach to the treatment of this condition.

Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Inhibition Protects the Heart From Acute Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Via Inhibition of Inflammation and Apoptosis

Blocking this protein kinase activity may be a novel approach to the treatment of the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, which is characterized by inflammation and apoptosis.

Tumor necrosis factor-α induces increased lung vascular permeability: a role for GSK3α/β.

GSK-3β activates NF-κB to aggravate caerulein-induced early acute pancreatitis in mice

GSK-3β may activate intra-acinar NF-κB signaling to promote the production of proinflammatory cytokines, which then induces the recruitment of inflammatory cells and activation of the cytokine cascade, further promoting local and systemic inflammation and ultimately aggravating acute pancreatitis.

Wnt3a mitigates acute lung injury by reducing P2X7 receptor-mediated alveolar epithelial type I cell death

The results suggest that Wnt3a overrides the effect of P2X7R on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling to prevent the AEC I death and restrict the severity of ALI.
