Using MDR1 deletion constructs and the 22W mutant of c-Raf in which the NH2-terminal half has been deleted, we examined the effect of the activated Raf on human MDR1 promoter activity in transient expression assay and stable transfectants of GHE-L cells.
We observed that the activated Raf significantly potentiated the induction of MDRCAT activity in GHE-L cells by sodium arsenite or heat shock, which stimulates heat shock factor (HSF) binding to HSE.

Pretreatment of cells with 0.5 mM sodium arsenite (but not other activators of stress-activated MAP kinase cascades) prevents the activation of p21Ras and strongly suppresses the activation of c-Raf and the MAP kinase cascade by a variety of growth factors.
