To investigate the effects of arsenite on cell proliferation and the signal transduction in hapatocytes in vivo, rats received a single injection of sodium arsenite immediately after partial hepatectomy.

Treatment of primary rat hepatocytes by sodium arsenite [As (III)], sodium arsenate and potassium antimony tartrate, but not cadmium chloride, was shown to markedly increase MRP2 mRNA and protein levels; As (III)-mediated induction was dose- and time-dependent and paralleled a strong increase in MRP2 amounts as assessed by Western blotting.
It was associated with an activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway and with a reduction of cellular glutathione levels.

Activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) pathways in cultured porcine aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) was determined following a 5-min stimulation with endothelin-1 (ET-1), phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), H2O2, or sodium arsenite.
Extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK1/2), p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK1/2) MAP kinase activation was assessed using anti-phospho-MAPK kinase antibodies.

Exposure of cells to either proliferative or stressful stimuli elicits a complex response involving one or more distinct phosphorylation cascades culminating in the activation of multiple members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, including extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK), stress-activated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK/SAPK), and p38/RK/CSBP protein kinase.
In the present study, we examined ERK, JNK/SAPK, and p38 activation in cells treated with the sulfhydryl-reactive agent sodium arsenite.

Termed SAKS1 (SAPK substrate-1), it was phosphorylated efficiently at Ser200 in vitro by SAPK3/p38gamma, SAPK4/p38delta and JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase), but weakly by SAPK2a/p38alpha, SAPK2b/p38beta2 or ERK (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase) 2.

Phosphorylation of Ago2 at serine-387 was significantly induced by treatment with sodium arsenite or anisomycin, and arsenite-induced phosphorylation was inhibited by a p38 MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) inhibitor, but not by inhibitors of JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase) or MEK [MAPK/ERK (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase) kinase].
