Meanwhile, nitrofen strongly activated the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38-MAPK).

Therefore, nitrofen induces P19 cell apoptosis that is cell-redox-dependent and is associated with increases in p38 activity and ROS and may play a role in nitrofen-mediated birth defects.

Normal and nitrofen-induced hypoplastic lung explants were cultured with increasing IL-6 doses or IL-6 neutralizing antibodies.
IL-6 enhanced p38-MAPK phosphorylation without changing MEK1/2 and JNK pathways.
