| 1710164 | Vendrell M, Zawia NH, Serratosa J, Bondy SC: c-fos and ornithine decarboxylase gene expression in brain as early markers of neurotoxicity. Brain Res. 1991 Mar 29;544(2):291-6. An increase of proto-oncogene c-fos expression in cerebral cortex of rats treated with subconvulsant doses of the pesticide organochlorine lindane (gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane) has been detected using Northern blots. Immunohistochemical studies show that Fos protein was already increased in neuronal nuclei 3 h after treatment. The administration of the benzodiazepine diazepam prior to lindane totally blocked the activation of this proto-oncogene expression. Parallel to this increased expression of c-fos an activation of the ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) gene and enzyme was also observed. High levels of ODC mRNA and increased enzyme activity in cortex were found in rats following lindane treatment. These changes were attenuated by prior treatment of animals with diazepam. The co-induction of c-fos and ODC suggests a potential link between the ODC/polyamine system and the short-acting proto-oncogenes in stimulus-transcription coupling events. |
