ECSIT (evolutionarilyconserved signaling intermediate inToll pathways), is specific for the Toll/IL-1 pathways and is a regulator of MEKK-1 processing. Expression of wild-type ECSIT accelerates processing of MEKK-1, whereas a dominant-negative fragment of ECSIT blocks MEKK-1 processing and activation of NF-??B
ECSIT mutant also strongly inhibited MEKK-1 activation of AP-1 (probably via MAP2K4/JNK),
additionally TRAF6-induced signaling is inhibited by dominant-negative constructs of MEKK-1.

MEK4/JNK/AP-1 path way is active in mactophages downstream of TLR4,
and induces iNOS expression.

MEKK1 --> SEK1/MKK4 --> p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway upregulates COX2 expression and PGE2 production in macrophages,
via activation of transcription factor C/EBP beta.
MAP2K for JNK pathway. MEK4 is weakly activated by TNF and IL-1.

TLR2 activates (induces phosphorylation of) ERKs, JNKs, and p38 rapidly and transiently in control macrophages.
This activation is inhibited by IFNG signaling.

TLR signaling can induces STAT1 phosphorylation via p38 and potentiate IFNG signaling.
Both TNFR1 and TNFR2 signaling pathways are needed for activation of p38 MAPK.
