This study shows that phosphorylation of the stress-activated protein kinases ERK1/2 induced by peroxide, cadmium, or paraquat is attenuated in cells from these mice.

Epidemiological risk factor analyses of typical PD cases have identified several neurotoxicants, including MPP (+) (the active metabolite of MPTP), paraquat, dieldrin, manganese and salsolinol.
Our initial experiments revealed that treatment with both MPP (+) and the other PD-related neurotoxicants induced apoptotic cell death in SN4741 cells, following initial increases of H (2) O (2)-related ROS activity and subsequent activation of JNK1/2 MAP kinases.
