The effects of in vivo administration of the cyclodiene tumor promoter heptachlor epoxide on mouse liver protein kinase C were studied in male B6C3F1 mice by protein kinase C activity assays and Western blotting under conditions known to increase the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma because protein kinase C is thought to be critical in phorbol ester-induced tumor promotion.

Chlordane, kepone, toxaphene, heptachlor, 2,2-bis (4-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dichloroethane, the polychlorinated biphenyl Aroclor 1254, aldrin, 2,2-bis (4-chlorophenyl)-1,1,1-trichloroethane (DDT) and gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (lindane) were the most potent stimulators of PKC activity.
