The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of four OCs (dieldrin, endosulfan, heptachlor, and lindane) on mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades and more specifically to identify the mechanism underlying OC-induced ERK1/2 activation.

Our work published in Cancer Research revealed that the sustained activation of the MAPK ERK pathway by the carcinogen Lindane or the MEK1 (+) oncogene alters autophagy selectively at the maturation step resulting in the accumulation of large defective autolysosomes.

It appears, therefore, that the action of the latter relies more heavily on the PI3K route as compared to that of the former which has been shown to mainly act through p42/44 MAPK.
