1 GADD45alpha mediates arsenite-induced cell apoptotic effect in human hepatoma cells via JNKs/AP-1-dependent pathway. arsenite growth arrest and DNA damage inducible alpha Homo sapiens
2 In this study, we have disclosed that arsenite effectively induces the apoptotic response in the HepG2 human hepatoma cells by triggering GADD45alpha induction and the subsequent activation of JNKs/AP-1 cell death pathway. arsenite growth arrest and DNA damage inducible alpha Homo sapiens
3 However, signaling events relating to GADD45alpha/JNKs/AP-1 pathway activation have not been observed in HL7702 human diploid hepatic cells under the same arsenite exposure condition. arsenite growth arrest and DNA damage inducible alpha Homo sapiens
4 Our results thus have illustrated the selective pro-apoptotic role of arsenite in the hepatoma cells by activating GADD45alpha-dependent cell death pathway whereas with little effect on the normal hepatic cells. arsenite growth arrest and DNA damage inducible alpha Homo sapiens
5 The approaches to up-regulate GADD45alpha levels might be helpful in improving the chemotherapeutic action of arsenite on certain solid tumors including hepatoma. arsenite growth arrest and DNA damage inducible alpha Homo sapiens
