## Abstract Recent studies suggest that sodium arsenite downregulates NF‐κB activity by inhibiting phosphorylation and subsequent degradation of IκBα. Many effects of sodium arsenite are secondary to induction of heat shock proteins. The role of the heat shock response in arsenite‐induced inhibitio

✦ Synopsis
del Instituto Polite ´cnico Nacional, Me ´xico Glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, is critically involved in gene expression regulation at the transcriptional and translational levels. Its activity through ionotropic as well as metabotropic receptors modifies the protein repertoire in neurons and glial cells. In avian cerebellar Bergmann glia cells, glutamate receptors trigger a diverse array of signaling cascades that include activity-dependent transcription factors such as the activator protein-1, the cAMP response-element binding protein, and Oct-2. We analyze the upstream regulatory elements involved in Oct-2 activation. Our results demonstrate that Ca 2+ influx, protein kinase C, phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase, Src, and nuclear factor (NF)kB are involved in this signaling pathway. Our findings link a-amino-3-hydroxy-5methylisoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA) receptor activation to a negative phase of chkbp gene regulation, controlled by NFkB. V
