The results on a non-receptor mediated effect of lindane on the adenylate cyclase catalytic subunit itself could be related to: (i) alterations of membrane microdomains surrounding this and other integral proteins which would result in modifications of their activities; and/or (ii) a reciprocal relation between the two main routes of signal transduction so that the activation of protein kinase C (or other Ca (2+)-dependent protein kinases) by lindane would lead to phosphorylation of the adenylate cyclase catalytic subunit.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Subsequently, 10 microM lindane was shown to produce a sustained increase in protein kinase C (PKC) activity (31, 17, and 15 pmol of PKC peptide phosphorylated/min/mg protein for 2-, 5-, and 10-min exposures, respectively).

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.

For instance, several reports have shown that OHCs alter neurotransmitter functions in CNS and Ca2+ homeostatic processes, induce protein kinase C (PKC) and phospholipase A2 (PLA2) mobilization, and induce oxidative stress.
In the 1970s it was discovered that PCBs and some chlorinated pesticides, such as lindane, have neurotoxic potentials after both acute and chronic exposure.

TRH modifies the current kinetics of human HERG potassium channel co-expressed in Xenopus oocytes with the TRH receptor, whose activity is modulated via the protein kinase C pathway linked to a G protein-coupled receptor and is regulated by changes in the PIP2 concentration in the membrane.
