Moreover, we found that overexpression of the constitutively active form of AMPK mutant also resulted in a significant activation of p38, and inhibition of p38 activity by SB203580 did not affect AICAR stimulated activation of AMPK Cheng et al., Biochim Biophys Acta 2006

Inhibition of AMPK reduces p38 MAPK phosphorylation, suggesting that AMPK lies upstream of p38 MAPK
Han et al., J Cell Physiol 2009
:
AICAR was able to activate p38 MAPK and pre-treatment with AMPK inhibitor or expression of KD-AMPK blocked this p38 MAPK activation
