Meanwhile, nitrofen strongly activated the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38-MAPK).

Normal and nitrofen-induced hypoplastic lung explants were cultured with increasing IL-6 doses or IL-6 neutralizing antibodies.
Branching, cellular proliferation (Ki-67) and MAPK phosphorylation in fetal lung explants were analyzed.

METHODS: ERK-1 activities were measured using immune-complex kinase assays on fetal whole-lung lysates obtained from both nitrofen and olive oil-treated (control) pregnant rats.

We hypothesized that exposure of murine fetuses to environmental toxins, such as nitrofen, during early embryogenesis alters vasculogenesis.
We assessed exogenous VEGF-mediated endothelial cell response on extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, also referred to as p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase.
