In this study, the role of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase for the activation of human monocytes after exposure to four structurally unrelated contact sensitizers was analyzed in comparison with the irritant benzalkonium chloride and an inductor of oxidative stress (H2O2) using immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay techniques.

The irritants SDS and benzalkonium chloride that do not induce DC maturation did not trigger p38 MAPK phosphorylation.

J Invest Dermatol. 2003 Mar;120(3):390-9.

In contrast, primary irritants, e.g., benzalkonium chloride, or sodium lauryl sulfate, did not activate these signal transduction pathways.

First, we found that a decrease of cell-surface thiols on hapten-treated THP-1 cells was induced in parallel with phosphorylation of p38 MAPK.
Changes of cell-surface thiols on THP-1 cells were detected after 2h treatment with most allergens (e.g., DNCB, NiSO (4)), as well as some non-allergens (e.g., Tween80, benzalkonium chloride), though other non-allergens (e.g., SDS, glycerol) had no effect.
