## Abstract Paraquat (1,1′‐dimethyl‐4,4′‐bipyridinium) is structurally similar to the neurotoxin 1‐methyl‐4‐phenyl‐4‐phenylpyridium ion (MPP+), the active metabolite of the parkinsonism‐inducing agent 1‐methyl‐4‐phenyl‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), which can induce the parkinsonism property in
In the present study we have investigated the potential involvement of protein kinase C (PKC) in the maturation of human dendritic cells (DC) by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS stimulation of DC derived from human monocytes resulted in PKC phosphorylation. Inhibition of PKC activation using
Exposure of osteoblast-like MC3T3-El cells to sodium arsenite (arsenite) increased the level of heat shock protein 27 (hsp27). The effect of arsenite was dose-dependent in the range of 50 to 200 pM. Arsenite also stimulated arachidonic acid release dose-dependently in the range between 50 and 200 pM
