Our results suggest that lindane as BayK-8644 may activate voltage-dependent calcium channels leading to calmodulin activation.

In the present study, a relationship between convulsant activity and two cellular events, changes in calmodulin (CaM) concentration and proto-oncogene c-fos expression has been considered. c-fos has been found activated after the administration of the organochlorine insecticide lindane, the Ca2+ channel agonist Bay K, and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA).

We have investigated the possibility of differential expression of two calmodulin genes, CaM I and CaM II, which are expressed strongly in neuronal cells in the adult rat brain, after treatment with the gamma (lindane) and the delta isomers of the hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH).

The DNA fragmentation induced was inhibited by intracellular Ca2+ chelator, calmodulin antagonist and Ca2+ sensitive endonuclease inhibitor.

Lymphocyte proliferation was inhibited during both the phases of immune response by verapamil, a calcium channel blocker, and by trifluoperazine, a calmodulin inhibitor.

Likewise, under activation of protein kinase C by phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDB) or inhibition of calmodulin by N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide (W-7), the stimulatory effect of gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane remained almost unchanged.
