Addition of heptachlor to human CEM x174 lymphocytic cells reduced the cellular levels of MAP kinase (MAPK, mitogen-activated protein kinase) cascade proteins, including ERK1 (a 44-kDa MAPK), ERK2 (a 42-kDa MAPK), a 85-kDa and a 54-kDa MAP kinase, MEK1 (a 45-kDa ERK kinase) and MEKK (a 78-kDa MEK kinase).

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.
Moreover, blockade of Raf, MEK1/2, or PKC activation with geldanamycin, U0126, or calphostin C inhibited ERK1/2 phosphorylation, demonstrating a PKC-Raf-MEK1/2 pathway.
