The pro-oxidants sodium arsenite, cadmium chloride, and hydrogen peroxide activated JNK1 with slow kinetics, whereas UV-B potentiated the activity of JNK1 rapidly.

Viability was assessed in H4IIE cells treated with sodium arsenite, mercuric chloride, sodium selenite, lead acetate, chromium trioxide or manganese chloride.

Here we report that in NIH3T3 cells, egr-1 is induced by various stress treatments such as heat shock, sodium arsenite, ultraviolet (U.V.) radiation, and anisomycin. p38 and JNK1, but not ERK2, were activated by these stress treatments.

Here, we show that treatment of these cells with sodium arsenite, a chemical compound that mimics the effects of heat shock, or anisomycin, a protein synthesis inhibitor, induces activation of SAPKs potently.

We cloned JNK1, p38, and p38-regulated MAP kinase-activated protein kinase-2 into the mammalian expression vector pEBG, and expressed these protein kinases as glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins in human embryonic kidney 293T cells through transient transfection.
The protein kinases were activated in vivo through treating the transfected cells with sodium arsenite and affinity-purified using glutathione-Sepharose beads.

The identities of the upstream activators of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase homologues termed stress-activated-protein (SAP) kinase-1 (also known as JNK or SAPK) and SAP kinase-2 (also known as p38, RK and CSBP) were investigated in rat PC12 cells and human KB cells after exposure to cellular stresses and cytokines.
In PC12 cells, the same two upstream activators, SAP kinase kinase-1 (SAPKK-1) and SAPKK-2 were activated after exposure to osmotic shock, ultraviolet irradiation or the protein synthesis inhibitor anisomycin, and more weakly in response to sodium arsenite.

Sodium arsenite and osmotic shock both stimulated stress-activated protein kinase-2 (SAPK2, also termed RK, p38, CSBP and Mxi2) and its downstream target mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase)-activated protein kinase-2 (MAPKAP-K2) in bovine adrenal chromaffin and rat PC12 cells.

Activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) pathways in cultured porcine aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) was determined following a 5-min stimulation with endothelin-1 (ET-1), phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), H2O2, or sodium arsenite.
Extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK1/2), p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK1/2) MAP kinase activation was assessed using anti-phospho-MAPK kinase antibodies.

A widely expressed protein containing UBA (ubiquitin-associated) and UBX (ubiquitin-like) domains was identified as a substrate of SAPKs (stress-activated protein kinases).

ATF-2 is a basic-leucine zipper transcription factor and a target for stress-activated protein kinases.
In this regard, we show that treatment with sodium arsenite, a known activator of p38 MAP kinases, also stimulates expression from the PEPCK promoter.

Uptake of alpha-methyl-aminoisobutyric acid (Me-AIB), a non-metabolisable System A substrate, was increased by between 50% and 80% when muscle cells were exposed to a maximally effective concentration of insulin (100 nM), sodium arsenite (ARS, 0.5 mM) or a 42 degrees C heat shock (HS).
