Anatomical context of Hexachlorane

  • The free radical scavenger DMSO or the gap junction inhibitor Lindane within the clusters significantly reduced the mutation incidence [17].
  • Based on daily doses the three HCH isomers were approximately equipotent; based on concentrations in liver or adipose tissue, gamma-HCH was severalfold more effective than alpha- and beta-HCH [18].
  • After alpha-BHC administration was stopped, many mesenchymal cells infiltrated the nodular hyperplastic lesions, and degenerated liver cells were found [19].
  • Both o,p'DDT and beta-HCH stimulated proliferation in a dose-dependent manner in the ER-positive cell lines MCF-7 and T47D but not in the ER-negative lines MDA-MB231, MDA-MB468, and HS578T [10].
  • The difference between wet and dry weights showed that fasting of beta-HCH-loaded animals also increased water imbibition in the uterus; there was no effect from fasting in the other groups [20].
 

Associations of Hexachlorane with other chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Hexachlorane

  • Disruption of autophagy at the maturation step by the carcinogen lindane is associated with the sustained mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase activity [16].
  • Altogether, these findings provide the first evidence that Lindane-altered Cx43 endocytosis requires ERK activation [26].
  • Despite a comparable high dose lindane induction of cell cycle arrest, marked increases in expression of P21WAF1/CIP1 were observed only in MCF-7 cells, although in PC-3 cells a significant increase (P < 0.0005) in the percentage of cells staining positive for p21Waf1/Cip1 was seen [27].
  • 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 [28].
  • The extent of modulation of TP53 and CDKN1A is significantly reduced in the presence of the gap junction inhibitor lindane and in irradiated low-density cell populations [29].
